Hestepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us.” “We’re sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live.” “No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.” “Son,” said the father, “you don’t know what you’re asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terribleburden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I thinkyou should just come home and forget about this guy. He’ll find a way to live on his own.”At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts areconstantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid?Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception ofhimself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’sreactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They needreassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirmstheir feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one,“You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is ahealthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced ？Fortunately, people can overcome shyness withdetermined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better weunderstand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block ourchances for a rich and fulfilling life.6.
