Let's discuss the steps to bring you out of shyness.Step 1 Overcoming shyness is mainly a case of mind over matter. If you're afraid to do it, then do it again. The more you come to talk with people, the easier it will become. You may also find that it's not as difficult as you thought anyway. Just talk to people a little more every day.Step 2 It sometimes helps to try to imagine yourself as another person. Think about it, do you get shy when someone else walks up to talk to another? Of course you don't. Think of yourself just as another somebody else and it'll make it a little easier.Step 3 Dress up. The better you look, the more confident you'll feel. Feeling good about your appearance can greatly reduce shyness. Step 4 If you're up to stage, try to imagine that you're somewhere else. Maybe in the comforts of your own living room. Tell yourself that the people in the audience are only people.（ ）46. The first step mainly tells us _.

There are more than 56,000 entries (词条) including characters, words and phrases in it. She also had a secret weapon(武器). She studied how Chinese characters were formed.“When others paid attention to the plot of a story, she looked at how writers use words and sentences to express themselves,” said Su Yunsheng, Lus Chinese teacher.
