Traits vary from person to person enormously and no characteristic could be considered superior from the other, provided you are good at it and could carry yourself with these traits well enough. Most people are generously gregarious and some of us could rather be strikingly shy. Even people who are gregarious are partly bashful, only that they overcome this with self-confidence. However, shy are those who are yet to learn to get into that equilibrium of self-confidence and shyness.
Before you get into the core tips of overcoming your shyness, the first thing you must do is to analyze and know yourself better. For this, prepare a questionnaire and that poses certain specific questions
The extent of social shyness: this could be found out by testing your behavior in a friendly crowd and then in a totally unknown crowd.
Your comfort level during one-to-one interaction.
Your way of dressing. If you find yourself comfortable in dark shaded outfits or dull make-up, it suggests you are way behind confidence.
Ways to get over shyness:
If you find it hard to become a part of a social gathering or an official meeting, the first thing you must learn to do is relax, since this is not the end. Try implementing the steps one after the other and you would soon find yourself as contented in a crowd as you are with yourself.
Carry A Positive Attitude: the foremost thing that helps you face the trickiest of hurdles is carrying a positive attitude. If you do not possess one, remind yourself that nothing is impossible where there is will and hard work.
Feel Good About Yourself: feeling good about yourself is the key to develop self-confidence. For this present your strengths and try to remember them each time you are at unease. It is also important to feel good about your looks and structure. So dressing up correctly to an occasion could effectively while away your social worries and at the same time never overdress.
Rehearse Interacting: make it a habit to rehearse at leisure to talk either placing yourself in front of a mirror or recording it. Listening to you speaking could boost your confidence level and your constant rehearsals might help you face the public.
Be As much Social As Possible: attending and participating in conferences and seminars could help you keep stage fear away. Moreover, making friends and hanging out on various occasions could make you more and more relaxed even when surrounded with people. Learning to opening up a conversation would hardly make you feel left out. For this, learning tactics to compliment others pays.
Stay Composed: staying cool and composed adds to your self-confidence socially. In an attempt to seem smarter, avoid bizarre and absurd behavior. Learn to relax before you become a part of a crowd.
Practice Art of Conversation: an art of conversation is the crucial thing to be accepted wholly in a society. Being humble and down-to-earth during a conversation without involving sensitive issues that could be offensive is what art of conversation suggests.
Not everyone likes to bear the same look for a lifetime. Though it is not possible to change your heaven-gifted exterior, there are options to modify your appearances to the one that is elegant, stylish, formal or festive looks and so on. Gone are the days where a plain plait for women and a close-cut hair for men were the standard. Things have evolved for styling hair for both men and women and in the recent years spiking hair became the most sought out hair style that could go along with any occasion.
How to spike your hair depends upon the characteristics of your hair. Your hair could be of normal volume or thin or thick. This could demand different treatment to make them spiky. In addition there is length-specific spiking of hair for long or short-length hair. Irrespective of the length and volume, the method of spiking varies only a little.
The basic steps to spike your hair are:
Step 1: In order to have a spiky look, the foremost thing is to have your hair washed and cleaned that is hardly extra-ordinary as these occupy the weekends for most of us. So shampoo and condition your hair with a conditioner before you go for spiking.
Step 2: Your hair needs to be wet before spiking. However, ensure that it is not dripping. So, soak out excessive water either with a towel or hair dry until it is still damp.
Step 3: At this stage you could use a styling gel or glue. For this, take a little amount in your fingers and run through the length of a spike about a finger long. In order to make it stiff, apply pressure to the portion of the hair by taking them in between your thumb and index finger. In case where the hair is too thick, spraying a hair spray could help it stand upright after heating.
Step 4: Continue step 3 for individual spikes depending upon the kind of spiky look you desire. If you want them localized to the portion above the forehead, divide them from the rest of the hair and make individual spikes. In case you aspire that muddled look, you could spike your hair unsystematically from any portion of your hair.
Step 5: In case you wish to enjoy dynamic spikes that could move along with your movements, the amount of hair spray needs to be reduced relative to the static ones. Spikes for long hair could be a little different. The portion of the hair chosen for spikes needs to be applied with heavy duty hair or spiking gel. Make spikes in the same way as mentioned in step 3. Using a comb could help. Spray on the spike heavily and then subject it to a blow dry with your hair dryer. Repeat the process until the spike is stiff and elegant. You could do this to the rest of your hair, part by part, and carry that spiky unyielding look that could revolutionize your overall appearance.
