How do i stop being shy around guys

Talk to new people often.

The more you do it, the easier it is, so one of the best ways to feel less shy is to just keep talking to guys. You’ll soon discover that, even if the guy doesn’t like you or doesn’t want to talk to you, you’re still just fine and there are other guys to chat with.

List down social situations where you feel most anxious, and then conquer them one by one. Think of these things as your “shyness bucket list.” Participate in small talk with strangers or work up the nerve to introduce yourself or even ask someone out.

Most people with androphobia can recover through therapy sessions. The primary treatment of androphobia is psychotherapy, also called talk therapy. The two most common forms of psychotherapy used to treat androphobia are exposure therapy and behavioral therapy.

It’s believed that most shy children develop shyness because of interactions with parents. Parents who are authoritarian or overprotective can cause their children to be shy.

Shyness can mean feeling uncomfortable, self-conscious, nervous, bashful, timid, or insecure. People who feel shy sometimes notice physical sensations like blushing or feeling speechless, shaky, or breathless. Shyness is the opposite of being at ease with yourself around others.

Start by being subtle and dropping hints that you like him, especially if you don’t know him well. Try less scary ways of showing your feelings, like giving him a note. If he doesn’t get it or you know him well, then try telling him in person. Even as a shy person, you can communicate how you feel.

Finding out for Real. Ask him to do you a favor. Though shy guys will avoid actively pursuing whoever they’re interested in, they will often do things passively to show that they care. If he likes you, chances are he’ll be willing to take time out of whatever he’s doing to help you — sometimes over and over again.

2 He Is Just Shy

Sometimes things are just what they seem — and it is possible a shy boy is ignoring you simply because people make him nervous in general, as discussed by Carducci in the Shyness Research Institute article, “Are There Different Types of Shyness?” Look to see if he ignores everybody else too.
