This chapter provides strategies for overcoming shyness while embracing introverted traits, emphasizing self-awareness and building self-confidence. Topics include small talk, dealing with labels, and defining your own interests.
One of the big myths is that introversion is synonymous with shyness. Introversion is not shyness as an introvert can be shy as well as an extrovert can be shy. It is really a matter of confidence or a lack of confidence in approaching certain people or situations. Shyness is not necessarily caused by introversion, but not understanding introversion can cause a person to be shy or lack confidence. In this episode, we will discuss different aspects of introversion and how understanding them can help you gain confidence and overcome shyness.
