Hi Timo and Dainis!

Thanks for sharing your stories.

Dainis, I think what you state is true . . . at first. Eventually, though, I’ve seen shy children totally transformed by participation in an activity.

Timo – best wishes for your new freelancing endeavor.

Nice article! But for example shyness performing presentations fade only when You actually doing those. My shyness disappeared just by intensive communication with people.

The weirdest thing happened to me this week: I was able to make two small presentations very easily in front of the audience of 50 people twice, but when there were for e.g. 5 people in a group, I just couldn’t find anything to say. Same thing might happen when I try to speak to someone without anyone else involved … so weird.

But, the topic you wrote about is very important. I’m about to start my freelancing business sometime soon and this is one of the things I have been talking about – my shyness and the fact that freelancing is pretty much being in contact with clients. But … I have also adopted sort of “I don’t care” attitude towards my shyness … and also like you mentioned: if I blew it, so what!!

I have been shy for all my adult life but eventually you just fed up with the whole thing and start finding alternatives in order to make a change. It’s not gonna happen fast but taking small steps is the best way to go.
