Blogging your way to shy success.
If you are looking for a safe step towards overcoming shyness, I suggest you start a blog.
I have found blogging has helped with my shyness already. I started my blog just a few weeks ago, and after a bit of reservation I begain to join some blogging communities and started to make a few comments on others blogs. In the past I would stand on the sidelines wanting to join in, but not knowing how. This time I just jumped right in and I have been pleasantly surprised at the response.
And it flows on to “real life”. I have already noticed myself being more talkative in face-to-face situations. It’s only a small step, but I was very pleased today when I found myself in a conversation with two people I only just met. I was still somewhat nervous, but I definitely contributed more to the conversation than I would have in the past.
Get your own blog.
If you have ever thought about starting a blog, I highly recommend it. You can write about a specific subject or topics depending where your thoughts are for that day. There are many sites where you can sign up for a free blog. Blogger and wordpress are two popular choices. But if you are like me and always liked the idea of your own domain name, you can get a free domain with $6.95 hosting package. This way you get your own domain name, hosting and as a nice bonus, helpful customer service.
Then join some (or all) of the blogging communities out there, and don’t forget to add me as a friend.
