Overcoming Social Anxiety: How a Once Shy Girl Overcame Social Anxiety Through Self Love and Natural Social Skills (Unabridged‪)‬

Are you a shy person? I was once myself, and I want to share what I have learned from my own life.

Quality is more important than quantity when selecting friends
Social skills are as simple as smiling and saying hi to people
Discernment is key to picking the right people to build you up, not tear you down. Some people have poor intentions
Standing up for yourself is the single most important thing you can do
Talking to people or standing up for yourself is akin to the feeling of jumping out of an airplane...scary but exhilarating and worth it!
Cherish old and true friends
Try activities you actually love. You will meet so many people!
Passion overrides shyness. Find what you love and you will forget to be shy!
Embrace your introversion; there are a lot of advantages to being an introvert. But don’t let shyness confine you
Learn to be comfortable on your own. Then you have the confidence to attract other people
Don’t judge people by their outward appearance. Get to know them first
Work on finding your true values. Experimentation to find them out is OK. Then stick to those values
Always, always, always be yourself or your friendships will fall apart
Mental illness and bad experiences can set your progress back but you will bounce back
And more!
