Sometimes people advise shy people just to jump into the water. To be exposed to social situations and to deal with what you are most afraid of.

This method is good for some, but for others, it will work the other way around. There are those who will be exposed so hard that they will retreat back to their usual shy behavior. It is, therefore better to be gradually exposed to increasingly difficult social situations. Start with anxiety levels in situations that cause you little anxiety (such as asking for information or informing someone you do not know) and continuing to more difficult and frightening situations.

Set yourself small goals. Say hello to a supermarket cashier, smile at a stranger or look at him. You can chat a little with a person waiting for you in line. When you hang out small you can make realistic expectations of yourself and reward yourself with a sense of accomplishment as you move up the ladder of goals.

Practice with strangers or people you know you'll never see again. It is harder to experiment with people you already know or know you want as friends, feel more confident if you put your skills in a small talk with absolute strangers that you will not see again.

The more comfortable you are with social interactions in everyday situations, the more natural it will be to start a conversation even in social situations like a party. Surround yourself with friends with confidence so that the whole security will stick to you. Try to learn from them. Friends are also an excellent tool to increase motivation. My true friends will be happy to help you overcome your shyness and support you.
