How shyness poisons life Bashny.Net

When I studied the views of various authors on shyness, I was surprised to find that some experts believe shyness as a positive. And do not fight it, but you need to cherish.

Shyness

The inner world of a shy person.

Three types of reactions can be distinguished, which are shown at shyness:

Behavioral signs indicating
shyness Physiological symptoms
The feeling of embarrassment and uncertainty

Behavioral signs of shyness

silence
It's hard to look his interlocutor in the eye
Quiet voice
Hardly articulate their thoughts. Rarely are enveloped in a verbal form of his inner world.
Stiffness in the movements, etc.

The problem of shyness - is not only a lack of communication skills, it is a misunderstanding of the meaning of human relationships. "Shy" believe that it is easier to remain silent and stay with her, than to say something and possibly lose.

Physiological symptoms:

Tachycardia
Increased sweating
goosebumps
Redness
Shy people tend to focus on these symptoms. In fact, they sometimes tend to not get into a situation in which may feel embarrassed. They feel these symptoms in advance and thinking only about the disaster and try to avoid them causing events.

Confusion
Loss of confidence
Violation of intellectual functions.

On the last point I would like to elaborate. In the mind of a shy person sitting censor, overseer. A sort of a judge who says, "right" behavior or not. This judge is planted to the parents, has the human lifetime (sometimes this way of parent). If a person does not get rid of the judge, he will never be able to get rid of shyness.

What happens in my head a shy person?

First, it constantly monitors the situation, trying to determine what impression he makes on others.

Secondly, in a head shy man is a constant dialogue with its domestic supervisor. What you can do, and what not. And what do they think of me, and so

Both of these processes are taken most of human intellectual resources. The intellect, the mind, which should be directed to the analysis of the situation and decision-making, a person spends on it to keep track of them produced an impression and agree with his censor.

On the decision of the problem of intelligence is not enough. In times when a person is experiencing shyness, he is a "clouding" reason. We can say temporarily "blunt". It is for this reason that shy people are often unable to take a decision, to find the right answer. Often even take a completely wrong decision. And it's not because they do not have enough "brain." With the intelligence that's all right. Just at that moment the whole mind is aimed at monitoring the attitude of the surrounding and internal dialogues.

When growing anxiety and self-control is activated, shy pay less attention to the incoming information. Shyness to limit impairs memory.

Of interest in this regard, the stories of people who performed the job, to get rid of shyness. One of the tasks - announcing stops in full bus. By the way very effectively. Once a person has typed into the air mouth to shout stop, he began to feel that fails, almost fainting.

So shy person may be very intelligent, but in a situation that caused shyness, he becomes bad. Therefore, I believe that you need to get rid of shyness.

One of the "favorite" activities shy people, a self-examination. Introspection on the one hand a sign of mental health, but when it becomes an obsession, it points to a mental disorder.

Shy people are extremely concerned. Introspection behavior in humans is often reflected in the fact that the person concerned about the impression he makes on others.

Compulsive introspection shy person becomes an end in itself and strangles its capacity for action, directing the energy needed to act on the idea.

One of the most unpleasant consequences of shyness - that it makes a man so focused on himself that he simply did not notice anything that is going on around. Shy people isolate themselves from the warmth of human relations. Many live on the principle of "Do not let others do not ask».

When deciding whether or not to communicate with another person, we are thinking about the possibility of winning and compare it with the potential loss if we find boring, unworthy or ridiculous. Chronically shy people are acutely aware of this decision-making process, because there is always concerned to be accepted. They constantly weigh the advantages and disadvantages of communication with anyone whatsoever, even if the relationship is already established.

Shy people often solve the problem radically new relationships - they give them up. They do not take the risk of being rejected, but prefer isolation. But one has to take the risk, to tie the important relationships in your life.

In fact, many want to shy to talk and laugh. Tacit irritation - their usual reaction to the neglect of society, even if they have made this choice
