【推荐1】Kate is a 19-year-old college student in America. She used to be shy when she was younger. “When I spoke in public, I never knew what to say, and I always felt others would laugh at me.” When she finished high school, she decided to change this.

So Kate started to push herself to get into more conversations. It was not easy for her to start talking to others, but with practice she was able to overcome most of her shyness. “It was a lot easier when I realized that people won’t laugh at me.”

If you find you’re shy like Kate used to be, the first step is to know that it’s not necessary for us to care too much about what others think about us. This may influence us. Instead, we should remember that everyone has their own advantages. Stop comparing ourselves to others.
