Hey everyone, I am Peter from TopThink. And today we're going to learn how to stop being shy and awkward.

Now, let's begin. Number one, don't apologize.

Whether you're reserved, timid or just painfully awkward, the first thing you need to know is that there is nothing wrong with you. I can't tell you how often I've heard quiet people apologizing or making excuses for their own shyness.

They end up feeling so guilty about missing chances to get out of their comfort zone that they drive themselves crazy. Each time, they miss out on one of these opportunities, the pressure and fear begin to build.

Until eventually, things that only seemed a little bit uncomfortable will cause them so much anxiety that they can't do them at all. It might feel like you're the only one in the room who's struggling with this intense pressure.

But you couldn't be more wrong. In fact, nearly everyone struggles with these same anxieties at some point.

But with enough practice, they learn how to avoid letting them affect their behavior. It is true that some people struggle more than others.

But having social anxiety doesn't make you any worse than anyone else. You have nothing to apologize for and nothing to feel guilty about.

Because at the end of the day, the only person you're affecting is you. Number two, avoid definitions.

When you've struggled with social anxiety or awkwardness for long enough, you've probably started labeling yourself as a shy person. You might have even told someone I'm just like that or I can't help it.
