How to Stop Being Shy with Ramit Sethi

How to Stop Being Shy with Ramit Sethi

What if you could talk to anyone, anytime, using the power of body language to create
an instant connection? Here’s how:

“I would like to change the behavior label of being shy. I am an idea person and do not share them for fear of being judged. I am often very hesitant to talk to people unless we can cut the BS and talk for real. I wonder if I should be more open to small talk to connect with people. I am also hesitant to share my ideas because I find it reduces my excitement when I have to answer a bunch of questions. Feeling slightly isolated! Please Help!”

    i could talk but it tires me out and i just don’t like to talk much so i’m mostly quiet unless it’s about an important thing.

    • ThePanetone22 on July 14, 2015 at 7:04 am

      @Yasmine MovieAddict i totally understand you and i am also like that it’s bad cuz it’s already really hard to make friends and if you want to stay with them you gotta keep on talking with them cuz if you stop they’ll forget you and it will be way harder to get to them back later but talking is something i already struggle with since i didn’t had too much contact with peoples when i was a child and that made me loose a bit of interest in interactions but meanwhile i still need to talk i still need to socialize else i’ll just end up like a depressed emo rock but really i’m too hesitant when i wanna talk to people i get shy excited that this person is giving me atention and is talking to me but then i don’t know what to do what to say what to talk about so i just end up being quiet and then my conversations end up with an awkward silence until one of us walks away………………………. That’s really annoying

    • Moulai Yasmine on July 14, 2015 at 8:08 pm

      Haha that’s true i fin it hard to keep friends as well. You’re not alone pal.

    • ThePanetone22 on July 15, 2015 at 4:14 am

      @Yasmine MovieAddict Damn i’m glad i’m not the only one with this kind of problem haha i need a hug now lol

    • Moulai Yasmine on August 30, 2015 at 7:57 pm

      @kim MILLER Actually nowadays even if you do talk that won’t do you any good. If that person doesn’t like you, he doesn’t like you, and there’s nothing you can do to change that.

    • Hey!! Adeez on October 28, 2017 at 6:48 pm

      I am also don’t have that capability to talk with anyone for more time..it takes me away from my friends..my family and whole people whom I met. I also want a hug by you guys we all are in same problem. let believe on god he gives us birth in this world for any reason.

  10. Feel Good on December 2, 2014 at 4:23 pm

    It also helps to get drunk

    • Hano LOLO on February 5, 2015 at 5:48 am

      Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover treatment for paruresis or shy bladder syndrome try *Enlarbo Shy Bladder Wizard* (search on google ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbor got great results with it. 

    • Infinite on May 5, 2018 at 6:52 pm

      Feel Good It’s bad to use alcohol as a crutch to be more outgoing. Learn to be outgoing without it first.

  11. Hans Si on January 9, 2015 at 4:02 pm

    Thanks for your video, Ramit. Please realise that small talk is exactly that which stops us introverts from connecting to people. To us introverts, small talk is verbal garbage that is devoid of meaning and value. We listen to endless inconsequential small talk getting incredibly bored. I often try my best to steer a conversation to something substantial, something of meaning and depth after the initial banter. Extroverts seem often challenged to talk about anything that has heart, soul and meaningfulness and often come off as chronically shallow. Why should we want to emulate this? That type of conversing sucks. 

  12. Ned N on April 10, 2015 at 3:29 am

  17. James Mohr on October 28, 2016 at 10:51 pm

    I connected with Caring for Your Introvert more so than I expected. Very insightful. I wish more people at my work would read and think on what they read in the article.

    • NIGHTMARE-NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE-NIGHTMARE-NIGHTMARE on April 22, 2017 at 3:28 pm

      Same with me. Especially the end
       “First, recognize that it’s not a choice. It’s not a lifestyle. It’s an orientation.Second, when you see an introvert lost in thought, don’t say “What’s the matter?” or “Are you all right?”Third, don’t say anything else, either.

  18. SingPray Luv on October 31, 2016 at 2:38 am

    this is so good bc today I went to a church class for the first time and introduced myself and for fear of invading some ones conversation I sat to myself. instead of saying more getting to know the members etc

  19. hhh lord on November 26, 2016 at 10:13 am

    Undertale comfirmed :3

  20. James WWW on October 20, 2017 at 3:32 am
