TAP WATER

Tap water in Dominican Republic is a serious  issue. The water system in this country is really bad and inefficient. We have lack of water and bad pipes, in some places the people can wait days even week to get water in their houses.
we have to buy water for everything no only for drink. I think is next to  imposible to drink water tap water in this country, unless  you want to die or something because is evident that this water is contaminated also you can see things floating and color and others things in the water but tap water is no the only problem when you buy a bottled  water you are no sure about the quality of this water.

OLDERS PEOPLE

                                              Olders People

Hello teacher Atilano I am Mr Wagner Crispin Perez, and this is my coment about Oldest people.
I think longevity is depend on the form that people lives and the nutrition because if a person dont have a good nutrition he o her couldnt have a long life.
 I have an example about my father who past away last year with 114 years old. He had a lot of money and good admophere also a good nutrition, I think that helped him to live so long time.

Tap Water in the Dominican Republic

Water is one of the most importants services for the population ,it not a secret that our life depend on water .we have many difficulties for obtain it.

In the Dominican Republic there are some problems with this ,in my case  i would  say  the most importants aspects  are:

Quality (not secure because people can get sick  for bacteria , parasites ,etc).

Accesibility (There are some places where people have  no  access ).

Many of these problems are responsability of the government like ,quality, accesibility and quantity, Other are responsablility  of the population , for example there are  people that spent  much water

THE OLDEST OLD "CENTENARIANS"

-When we hear about "centenarians" we always have different perceptions virtually: How did they become aging? -How do they got that longevity in those years ?

*Life expectancy in the United States has increased from 49 years, at the start of this century to 76 years.

- Researchers want to find out why "Oldest Old" are living more now, and they want to discover their secret to living longer.

            
              *To add a few years to your life adopt these*

           ~Stay active --> Physically & Mentally.
I agreed with that, because an active body & an active mind, help to prevent demented in old age.

           ~Do not react to stress with excessive worry.
(People who learn to laugh at themselves stay healthy longer.)

*Something that really surprised me about "Oldest Old" is that they don't have a balance diet, some of them have a highest calor intact.
 I don't understand how they can survive on diet that is high in fat, and drinking alcohol; but others are finicky with everything they put in their mouth*.

-How long we live is GENETICALLY determined. (Brothers of centenarians are likely to live to 100 as are people without 100 years-old in the family.)

That's not my case, and of course I won't want to live 100 or over, because most of centenarians have had many losses, and I don't want to see family members and close peers dying.

*im not a centenarian but I think you have to : Eat well, Move often, Keep up with your hobbies, Read and LOVE LIFE.

Water

Hello!! I'm going to talk about me concerning to water. When it comes to drinking water, I'm a little finicky, I don't like all kind of "drinking water". I don't check my drinking water fills all the requirements, but when I have to choose my drinking water I try to choose what I think is the best. however when I am too thirsty I'm not too choosy, but if the water doesn't taste good for me, I just take a sip until I can get a better one.

When I taste water I don't like to taste chlorine or other chemicals, I like my drinking water to be clear- and clean of curse- I like the words "crystal water". I might not be too finicky, but surely I'm kind of finicky haha!!

Internet addiction

well i'm going to write about internet addiction, that is a topic of  great importance for people.

While time spent online can be hugely productive, compulsive Internet use can interfere with daily life, work, and relationships. When you feel more comfortable with your online friends than your real ones, or you can’t stop yourself from playing games, gambling, or compulsively surfing even when it has negative consequences in your life then you may be using the Internet too much. Learn about the signs and symptoms of Internet addiction and how to balance your life online and off.

What is internet addicton or computer addiction?

Internet Addiction, otherwise known as computer addiction, online addiction, or internet addiction disorder, covers a variety of impulse control problems, including: 

• Cybersex Addiction : compulsive use of Internet pornography, adult chat rooms, or adult fantasy role-play sites impacting negatively on real-life intimate relationships.
• Cyber-Relationship Addiction : addiction to social networking, chat rooms, and messaging to the point where virtual, online friends become more important than real-life relationships with family and friends.
• Net Compulsions : such as compulsive online gaming, gambling, stock trading, or compulsive use of online auction sites such as eBay, often resulting in financial and job-related problems. 
• Information Overload : compulsive web surfing or database searching, leading to lower work productivity and less social interaction with family and friends.
• Computer Addiction : obsessive playing of off-line computer games, such as Solitaire or Minesweeper, or obsessive computer programming.

The most common of these Internet addictions are cybersex, online gambling, and cyber-relationship addiction.

*Many of us suffer from some addictions*

Addiction: it is an habit that you can not stop by yourself, even though is harmful for you to continue.

*For me there are two types of addictions: Addictions to Substances and Non-Substance*

        
                 *Substances*

                ~ Drugs.  
                ~ Alcohol.
                ~ Nicotine.

- But many researches have begun to think that people can also be addicted to activities such as Gambling, Shopping, Sex, etc...


                *Non-Substance*

 *Such as those that affect the brain (in almost exactly the same way as a drug or alcohol dependency)

Males and Females wind up addicted to different substances and behaviors for different reasons and recover differently.

               "Obsess" & "Addict"

Are more often than not thrown around in casual conversation because they do not have the same level of severity as they once had.

*There are many addictions, that at first people don't accept, that their addictions are all consuming their lives.

We're living in a time when addiction can be said without shame... Well on the positive side, this increased acceptance may allow struggling addicts to seek help with less fear of being judged.

Tap water in DR is not goog for drinking

Most of water in Planet Earth is Contaminated

THE WATER WE DRINK-----------BY LUIS MENDOZA IDI-324

It is natural that everyday technology advances more and more and people live better, more comfortable but,

those things have a high cost: that our planet suffers damages in its natural resources such as water, woods, ground and many others.

From those resources that I mentioned, let´s take the example of water. Everyday thousands of people around the world have to go to hospitals because of stomach deseases, diarrea, amoeba, etc. maybe because water of the rivers are in contact with trash, toxic waste, sewers and more. Recently they have found all kinds of germs in some water sold on the streets.

In Dominican republic we can notice that when it rains, tap water turns like dirt and in some cases, it brings stool which shows insecurity to drink water straight from tap. For that reason we have to drink water from processing plants or water bottles.

So people let´s give a helping hand to planet earth, it is needed now more than ever.

Shyness

Shyness is  a difficulf   and terrible problem, for example if i working in some company and they  need a representative for gave a speech  about their services , products ; receive any important person from other  country trey  never   will send  a shy person.

They are  some steps that shy people can do against shyness :

1-Smile  face to face  with knowed people first  and with unknow  after

2- Start  the conversation saying or asking something to the  unknow people. For example: We are in the same math class, my name is …, etc.

3-Practice  what you want to say ( if you have to speak in front of many unknow people , do it in front  of  a  know person first).

4-write about you will be talking about and say it in front the mirror , for example: Good Morning : My name is Jhon Perez and i will  be speaking  about How to make Money in your home ….

If you  practice these examples you don¨t  will have difficulties  when you were in a real situations.

HELLO. Let me write you something about unit 4 ; THE TAP WATER.
For a long time we have been listening about  the problems of TAP WATER . In ours country it is a big problems that we have. We don't know what kind of water is good to drink or what isn't.
My  opinion to solve the problem of tap water in our city is educating people to preserve the nature, and not contaminate the enviroment.

Hello people . Now iam going to give you  my opinion about unit 3; THE BOLD AND THE BASHFUL.
For a long time many people have being bold and shy. Shy is a bad way that couse problems  to some people who are shy. A shy person experiences high anxiety in social situasions.
Life can be dificurt to those people who are shy becouse those people low a lot of  things that they want to reach in life .

Tap Water

 In this country we have a big problem is tap water, we don't have experts to verify what water we can drink or use to do somethings special, for example, in my home we use tap water to clean the house, wash the dishes, clean my clothes because tap water  only serves to use to this.  Now I have a daughter and only use to bath her is Planeta Azul water, of course is expensive than other but I prefer use for my child, if i don't who will.

In neighborhoods use tap water because they are accustomed to use this water they have germs to fight with this germs, we need some person or group of people to educates us on tap water.

TAP WATER

tap water that we use is supposedly safe, but we can not drink it, 
and it is because this is bad for our health, if a person has never drunk tap water and that person drinks it, is sure that is going to be sick or maybe could die, and it is because the body is not accustomed.
in poor neighborhoods is normal to see people drinking tap water and  nothing wrong happens  with  they, and that it is because their bodies are accustomed to the germs that tap water brings.

In my case I use tap water only for wash clothes and take a bath, or for cleaning my house,
because I know that  it is the only that we can do with tap water here in dom rep, of course that's only  happens in our  country why, because as the professor says we don't care about it.

Shyness

Be shy is not good. We lose a lot of opportunities in our life if we have this condition. A shy person dares to talk in public. To take the first step in a conversation is a real sacrifice for them and some other things. Shyness is a big obstacle. I know a person who is very intelligent but is very shy and he has almost five years working in the same place with the same position. He has the capacity to do others things, nevertheless, he afraid to assume others responsibilities. 

Some experts say that shyness is increasing because technology specially computers are replacing people in many activities for example when you call to a company most of the time who answer your call is a computer answer machine. Besides communication through e-mail, chat, face book and twitter keep you in the computer and conversation face to face with others is every day less common.

Water from the faucet?

  I do not understand how come people buy water insted of drinking tap water, if the goverment has invested a lot of money bying tons of products to make the best water ever,
I believe that the people should begin drinking tap water insted of spending money, bying it at the grocery store.

Trust your tap water!!

The Bold and the Bashful

For me Bold and Bashful are two characteristics that each of them has advantage and disadvantage. For example to be a bold person implied to be very social. When you are social you have too much opportunity into the society because you don't mind to say or to do whatever you want, in the other hand when you are such as extrovert person can be that you do or say something that can affect you.

To be Bashful implied to be unsocial, when you are this kind of person you can close to lose advantage in the life. When you are a bashful person you can say out any problem or difficulty that talkative people can be into. So I think that you can't go to none of the extreme nor too bold, nor too bashful.

I think shyness should be treated as a sickness, because people who has this problem are emerge in a very dark world, where they do not offer any thing to the society, they are always just trying to skip from any social activity and avoiding other people contact, they never get any good thing in life, and it happends during their whole life.

is shyness a sickness?

About The Water in Dominican Republic

Talking about

Water in Dominican Republic, is to speak of contamination, virus, disease  bacteria and risk of death a the same time. Specially when we refer to public water. What's the reason to conclude like so? because of lack of security and confidence in the minister in change of accomplish this task.

Drinking water that comes up from the piping without any treatment would be to be exposed to any stomach illness that's why is not recommended to drink this water. !Please Dominican people it's time to work for a good potable water is service!!!

Centenarians



have a long life now a days is so difficult because we live a fast and non health life, work all day long and later go home or school sometimes no body thing in exercise you arrive tired just you want eat en go to bed.and if you have some minuts spend infront of tv or computer.


thats kind of life is a negative point for us, foods and habits are so different as were twenty years ago, humans are living the moment because sickneeses and economical problems are improving day by day.

so people desgarded medical suggestions they eat everything with non caution. well but a olng life require some cares thats not every body have, but could be fantastic live a long and see your great grand childs.

Addictions

the addictions are common and you can get addicted with out you know, a simple habit can comes in an addiction, sometimes you beguin to do something  may be like  a past time and its becomes in addictinon.

I have heard  about estrange addictions, I watched a tv program and the topic was about a woman she is addicted to tattus she has all her body fullof tattus, and she said that she feel excited when she gets a new tattu. then sounds rarely but is treu. so a simple thing that she did for trends became in addiction.


I think thats could happens to her and there are many histories like it, we have to be carefully with those things.

Tap water is drinking water which comes from an indoor tap or spigot. It is part of a larger indoor plumbing system.
Tap water is potable water supply to a tap valve inside the households or workplace.
The availaility of tap water has major public health benefits, it typically vastly reduces the risk to the public of contracting water borne diseases.
Potable water supply:
Municipal water supply
Water wells
Delivered by truck
Processed water from creeks, rivers, lakes and rainwater

Domestic water systems have been envolving since people first located their home near a running water suppy a stream or river, the water flow also allowed sending waste water away from the domiciles.

Plastic pipe is in wide use for domestic water supply.
Chlorine is a disinfectant which is added to tap water, chorine can leaves organic material like trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids in the water.
 

I think every shy or quiet person has had the experience of other people getting annoyed at them because they were reserved and untalkative. That's just what they do though, they hang back and don't speak as much. It's not because they're mad, or snobby, or that they're purposely trying to kill the fun vibes in the room. They're just a bit tongue-tied at first and need some time to warm up to the people they're with, or it's their natural style to sit back and observe.


Shy and quiet people hate this. Sometimes the person will say something in a more accusatory, confrontational way. At other times it's more well-intentioned and matter-of-fact. Sometimes they'll make a comment to other people in front of the person, like they're not there. This is Craig. He's nice, but kind of quiet.
Either way, it's kind of thoughtless and annoying. Don't say stuff like that out loud. Also, rather than shaking them out of their quietness, it often makes people feel more self-conscious and misunderstood. Oh, and never, ever comment on someone's shyness like they're a cute, shivering little lamb. Like, "You're shy?

 Shyness makes it harder to think of things to say, but most people have an easy time talking about topics they're interested in. The things to say are already in their brain ready to go. Like if someone likes video games, all you have do is say 'PlayStation 3' and a dozen things will come to their mind. So try to land on one of those interests, and they should have a much easier time talking to you.

I think the internet is used as way of escaping problems or relieving feeling of helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression, day after day more people become addicted to the internet.

The user lies to family members or friends to conceal the extent of involvement with the internet, the individual risk the loss of a significant relationship, job educational or career opportunity because of excessive use of the internet.

The fathers need to educate your sons in important social occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of internet use, they need to have the control of them when they used the internet.

The internet is important for learn but in some case is dangerous for the children if they not are watched by an adult.

 

Hello. Now I am going to write about unit 2; THE oldest old; A look at centenarians.
acording to the bible one of the first man on eart called Matuzalen lived about 900 years.  after him  other people lived less, for esamples Moises, joses, david into other people else.

Now a day not many people reach a age of 100 years. The oldest ages that somebody can reach is 80 years old. perhap some of the reasons about that can be the
economy's situacion ,many ilness  into others problems that are afecting the human's race.

My advice is ; If we want to live beyond ours ages, we have to take some advices about  taking care of ours hearth, like; Eating good, sleap OK into other good advices that can help you to keep a good hearthy live.

Thanks to read.

Shyness

Shyness is something I know very well. I used to be very shy when I was younger, but as I started working as a teacher in a school I had to throw it away. It is not easy to throw shyness away because it is part of you, part of your life, part of your personality.  Even when you wake up saying "today I will be bold", in the moment you go outdoors you forget every single word you said and think "I hope I don't have to say anything, I hope I don't have to do anything, I hope I don't have to talk to anybody".

Shyness is not a matter of age. You can find shy people of all ages  children, teenagers, young, adults, elders, because as I said before it is part of the personality, and if you don't find a way out you will be shy all you life. As we saw in class there are institutions to help shy people, but those people have to brake the ice and cooperate in the development of the programs those institutions offer.

Shy people

Being shy is not good  because we can lose a lot of opportunities in our lives, when people are shy they can not say what they think or they can not express their feeling, they are not sure about theirselves,  most of them are scared to speak in public and they are afraid when they are with out spoken people because some of them have a low-self esteem.

I think that this is a problem that shy people can handle, and we can help shy people too when we see that a person is shy we can help like talk with hi or her ask questions or just be friendly.

          In the Dominican Republic, the water service is very deficient .Our water is not safe drinking enough 

and the worst thing about it is that nobody is doing anything to solve the problem. After air, water is the most important element for life and if we don't care about it now, we'll probably suffer the consecuences in our health. Contaminated water can cause many illnesses such as cholera,ameba and others.       

old people

        I consider that old people need a special care.They should have regular visit to the doctor,a valanced diet, to practice some sport like walking.we  have to make them feel loved and important .    I remember when my grand mother was alive. she was very independent, but when she got sick, she become finicky and angry.she did not want to eat and take her medicine, maybe because she had to be assisted by others.                                                                                                                                               

COLUMBUS DAY

Many countries in the New World and elsewhere celebrated the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas, which occurred on October 12, 1492, as an official holiday.

THE SHYNESS

Hello,  professor and classmate.

Shyness is a feeling of insecurity or shame in yourself,   Sometimes people become so shy they are afraid to do simple things in life.
 For example, they don't want go to a restaurant because they're too nervous to order and pay for their food, Some people are so shy about meeting new people when they rarely  go outside.

Shyness not let you to do the things that you want to do, and if we spend our lives locked we will not have life,  and  life is to share with people, when you are shy you are always alone.

one advice:
to overcome the shyness, we must have confidence in ourself and avoid clinging only to what we know and Force ourself to improve ourself, day by day, and see how it will achieve eventually.  If we really want to overcome shyness,  we have to overcome the fear  facing situations that provoke you.

SHYNESS

Shyness currently is a big problem, there are a lot people that suffer of shyness, some people even not  believe that shyness could be a real problem.

I think life can be more boring if you are shy, and also shy people have less oportunities to get their goals.

                                                    THE BOLD AND THE BASHFUL

       

                              When i was reading this topic, I identify with it for two reasons. First, i have

                           two sons and the older child is outgoing, for him being friendly is natural and

                           fun, but the second one is bashful, he spends a lot of time playing alone.

                           Second, although i have many friends, i am shy and sometimes it is difficult for 

                           me interact with other.For this reason some people may mistakenly think that

                           i am standoffish or unfriendly, but it just takes time to get know me.                                                                                                                                             

Addict to Internet 

The people who are addicted to internet has a big problem because every time and moment likes surfering in the internet.  When the people stay in front of the computer can*t stop because they feel anxious to surfing in the internet.

I think that i was addicted to internet when i was more young than now,  because i got up every day in the morning and i slept late to surf in the internet, just to surfing or chating with my friends but after a while i realized that i had a big problem and i stopped to do this.

But i wasn*t alone, my parents spoken to me and told me that this is a problem because i didn*t want to leave the house just for surfing in the internet, maybe not now but in the future when i get my family they wants stay close to me and stay with me, in the moment i thought "woww my dad is crazy" but nowadays i think that he was right.


Now i work with computers and i use my computer sometimes for design to other people, i work with cell phone too, i have a personal phone and others technologies, in my home i have 3 computers, personal computer, laptop and my wife have another too and now when i stay at home i dont like to use any computers or cellphones, including my neighbors every time need my help to fix their computers but now i think that i hate computers and cellphones jajaja what irony, i now that technologies is the door to the future but now let me in the present.

The United States currently has the greatest number of known centenarians of any nation, estimated at 70,490 on September 1, 2010.This corresponds to a national incidence of one centenarian per 4,400 people.
Japan has the second-largest number of centenarians, with an estimated 47,756 as of September 2011. Japan started its surveys in 1963, at which time the number of Japanese centenarians was found to be 153. This number surpassed the 10,000 mark in 1998, 20,000 in 2003, and 40,000 in 2009. According to a UN Demographic survey, Japan is expected to have 272,000 centenarians by 2050. However, some sources suggest that the number could be closer to 1 million. Many experts attribute Japan's high life expectancy to the Japanese diet, which is particularly low in refined simple carbohydrates, and to hygienic practices. In addition, the number of centenarians in relation to the total population was, in September 2010, 114% higher in Shimane Prefecture than the ratio for the whole of Japan. This ratio was also 92% higher in Okinawa Prefecture. In addition to diet, there are four other factors that have been found to increase the life expectancy for Okinawans, as noted later in the "research into centenarians" section of this article. The incidence of centenarians in Japan was one per 3,522 people in 2008, although Okinawa again exceeded this average, with one per 1,838 people 2006.

an article taken from internet about the oldest old

Several studies have shown that centenarians have better cardiovascular risk profiles compared to younger old people. The contribution of drug treatments to promote extreme longevity is not confirmed and centenarians in general have needed fewer drugs at younger ages due to a healthy lifestyle.^[17] A study by the International Longevity Centre-UK, published in 2011, suggested that today's centenarians may be healthier than the next generation of centenarians.^[18]
Ninety percent of the centenarians studied in the New England Centenarian Study were functionally independent the vast majority of their lives up until the average age of 92 years and seventy-five percent were the same at an average age of 95 years.^[19] Similarly, a study of US supercentenarians (age 110 to 119 years) showed that, even at these advanced ages, 40% needed little assistance or were independent.^[20]
A study supported by the US National Institute on Aging found significant associations between month of birth and longevity, with individuals born in September–November having a higher likelihood of becoming centenarians compared to March-born individuals.^[21]

INTERNET ADDICTION

Who´´s the control -the internet or you.´
´I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.
I often check my e-mail forty times a day.
I seldom spend less than three hours during one session on the net.
I spend more time in chatrooms than with my real-life´ friends
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addicton called internet addiction.
According to researchers,Internet addicts spend at least thirty or forty hours online every week.
The use of the internet can be an addiction like alcoholism or drug use.People lose the control of the
time they spend on teh internet.
For  example ,college student was missing for severa days .His frieds were worried, and they called the
police. The police found the student in the computer lab...he was surfing the net- for seven days straight.
Current studies estmate that about 6 to 10 percent of internet user become addicted.A nd some researchers
worry particularly about young people because the internet is taking the place of the mall or the playing field for
 some of them. the teens spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is ´´surfing the net ´´ a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms.
-You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the internet.
-you can´t wait for your next online session.
-You´ re determined to spend a brief time online, but then you spend several hours.
-You go uot with your friends less and less.
Wthat is the cure? There counseling to gelp internet addicts-even online. Some experts recomend that people set
strict limits on their time for internet use. You have to control it. The internet shouldn´t control YOU.

ADDICTIONS

HI Im arelis and im going to speak about addictions. well in my opinion addiction is a habit or something you cant not control by yourself. it is a condiction that result when someone uses or ingest a sustance, like alcohol, drogs, nicotine and others or participate or engages in an  activity that can be pleasurable but the continued use of which becomes compulsive. it can be really dangerous in life because this misbehavior controled you completely, so it interferes with ordinary life responsabilities like work,relationships, health and others, but these people do not realized that their behavior is out of control and causing problems for themself and others.i think that some times you know that you are addicted and you recognize you need professional help but you let that  the problem involve you because  you are unable to break the pattern. there are many types of addictions  such a  the internet addiction, alcoholic , workaholic, shopaholic,gambling and a moung other.

A LOOK AT CENTENARIANS

Today there's a rise in the number of centenarians world wide due to healthier lifestyles, more emphasis on preventive medicine, and better healthcare. By returning to a more simple and natural way of living with more peace and freedom, by becoming more family oriented where there's lots of love, having a good family life through healthy communication and understanding, and by improving our awareness, attitudes and values, we're bound to have a more healthy, fulfilling and rewarding life.

Attaining long life is always good if one can have a good and healthy existence. Having to suffer through life is not the same as healthy living or good living. According to Dr. Suzuki who is the Principal Investigator of the OCS, "most centenarians are in extraordinarily healthy shape where they were energetic, youthful-looking, lean and had very low rates of heart diseases and cancer." Another study called the New England Centenarian study says that, "most centenarians have been remarkably healthy and experienced a rapid terminal decline [only] late in life." Furthermore, research states that "Okinawa's elders, age 70 or greater, and centenarians in particular, also seem to have experienced a slower age-related decline and markedly delayed or avoided entirely the chronic diseases of aging, such as Alzheimer's disease.

The Oldest Old: A Look at Centenarians
Luis Mendoza IDI-324

 

Many times we wonder: Will I reach to be an oldman or woman? Well, I think that would be something more than good to me, because I could see my Children grow up, graduate from High school and/or College.

Elderly is really a blessing from God, it is experiences, Knowledgments, a whole world in hands so, we have to take care of our Grandparentes and parents. Elderly is lika being a child again, you cannot do most of things by yourself as you did many years before, your five senses does not work the same.

Nowadays few people get to be 100 years old or more, maybe it is the lifestyle we live today as the pollution, food, stress, problems, worryness, etc.

My conclusion is this: Whenever you reach to see an old person please, give a helping hand, because once a time he or she was brighty young like you are now. Just remember: today very young you are, tomorrow oldy you will be.

 

How to stop being shy 

   

In my opinion, be a shy person is not so bad, but it's hard to admit, but at the same time is something we can change, a shy person needs to change the negative experiences and face the world.


the person who is shy need to meet new people, socialize at work or university, talk to the family about it and be realistic and face the fears, the most important thing is to go step by step, you can not expect to completely change the overnight. For real progress to be sustained, must move slowly. This way you'll learn more and you achieve progress, and gradually you will feel safer. Keep doing the things you already did it dominate, such as initiating and maintaining a conversation, and other things that are scary or difficult.


Remember once you understand how to stop being shy, you can become more confident, connect with others better and have and enormous amount of fun in social settings. As a social confidence coach, I’ve been able to observe repeatedly how learning this can turn a person’s life around.

There is a lot of advice out there on how to stop being shy. Regrettably, most of it comes from people who don’t have a real comprehension of the psychology of shyness, and it’s too naive or vague to actually do anything for you.
