Here is the first secret as to why people are shy: Most shy people are easily controlled by their own emotions. This is the biggest mistake any person can make, and it can easily cause a person to be shy and not be able to feel comfortable in social situations.

Here are some examples as to illustrate this:

• If you are always trying to avoid people who make you feel uncomfortable and awkward in their presence, then you are being controlled by your emotions.
• If you avoid crowded places or public speaking because it makes you feel anxious, you are still being controlled by your own emotions.

Depending on your current level of shyness or social anxiety, you can start by taking baby steps at a time, till you feel more comfortable doing bigger things.

For instance, if you are currently cooped at home the whole day because going out makes you feel uncomfortable, then start by going out to different places once a week. Feel the awkwardness as you start to step out of your comfort zone, till you do not feel as awkward anymore. Or if you are currently studying, you can start by raising your hands to ask questions in the middle of the class, even though you might attract a lot of unwanted attention. Doing these simple and little baby steps over time will eventually help you to get rid of your shyness or social anxiety.
