How can I overcome shyness in social settings?

I've always struggled with shyness, especially in social gatherings. How can I overcome it?

It's great that you're seeking help! One effective way to overcome shyness is to practice social skills in low-pressure environments.

What kind of low-pressure environments do you suggest?

You might start with small gatherings, like a coffee with a friend or a casual meetup group where the focus isn't solely on conversation.

That sounds doable. Should I prepare topics to talk about?

Absolutely! Having a few conversation starters can help ease anxiety. Think of topics like recent movies, books, or shared interests.

Thanks! I feel more confident about trying this out.

You're welcome! Remember, practice makes perfect. Take it one step at a time, and you'll improve!
