It is hard enough for a guy to ask a girl for a date but what if you are the shy guy who needs to develop a positive self image to be able to even ask a girl for a date.
You will need to learn to feel good about yourself in order to build your self esteem. You will also need to learn that there are as many shy girls as there are shy guys. If nobody takes the initiative than how do shy guys meet shy girls? Someone has to take the first step. Might as well be you because even a shy guy can develop a positive self-image.
Here are some steps that will help you to live with your shyness and appreciate you for who you are…
• Appreciate all that your body can do, like running, dancing, breathing and dreaming. Yes, dreaming about that perfect girl.
• List the top 10 things you like about yourself. Read that list often and continue adding to it as you think of more things about yourself that you admire.
• Learn that beauty is skin deep. However, true beauty reflects in how you carry yourself. “Beauty is a state of mind” not a state of your body.
• When you look in the mirror, see yourself as you would want others to see you. Do you want someone to see just a small part of you, usually your weakness? Or do you want them to see you as an entire person?
• Surround yourself with people who are positive. People who are supportive of you will build your confidence. They know that a shy guy can develop a positive self image.
• Don’t pay attention to images, slogans or attitudes that make you feel bad about yourself. You already have a problem with shyness. Why be reminded of it?
• Take the time to do something nice to yourself. Find a peaceful place to relax and think of nothing but yourself and the improvements you have already made.
• Don’t take after the latest fashion. Your body is unique unto yourself. You cannot pour yourself into a buff tank top if you have no muscles or are sporting a pot belly. You want people to notice you for you and not for your physique.
Don’t listen to those nagging voices that say you can’t do something. You can and you can do so with short affirmations knowing that the shy guy can develop a positive self-image.
