255 segments
So, bro, in this video, I'm going to
tell you how to stop being shy, how to
stop being a wasw was, how to get rid of
all that fear you have inside your head,
and how to actually enjoy what life has
in store for you. And you might be
thinking right now, oh, what do you mean
by what life has in store for me? I'm
talking about things in your life that
you want to start doing, that you want
to have, that you feel like you're
missing out on, that's currently not in
your life, that you want to have. Now, I
100% relate to this. And I wish someone
someone had told me this when I was
younger because I remember I was so shy
middle school and high school to the
point where I talked to literally
nobody. And I think one of the biggest
things that I wanted to enjoy that I
wish life gave to me was literally just
the experience of having friends. So I
remember and this is what killed me the
most. I looked at every single person
around me and every single person around
me seemed to be able to make friends
easy, talk to people. They seem to have
their own friend group, go out to like
the football games, you know, go out to
eat, you know, take pictures on
Instagram and tag all their friends. And
I was stuck in that school still trying
to figure out how to talk to people, how
to actually get people to like talk to
me first, how to carry on a
conversation. And because of that, I was
super insecure and I was super shy. And
it felt like a death sentence. And I
looked at everybody around me and I was
just like, everybody's experiencing this
life that I currently do not have. and I
knew I wanted it, but I was too shy. I
did not know how to achieve it. So maybe
for you it's like maybe it's getting
friends. Maybe it's getting into a
certain friend group, joining clubs.
Maybe you want to look look a certain
way, but you're too shy. You don't know
how to get to that point. Maybe you want
to start a new hobby. I don't know. But
I'm going to tell you something, a
solution that I've thought about and
I've seen that nobody's really talking
about on the internet.
And the solution that I'm going to tell
you has actually helped one of my
buddies get out of this sort of feeling
where you're shy, you don't know how to
start doing things that you know you
need to be doing, but you just don't do.
And it's just going to be the catalyst
for you
enjoying what life has in store for you.
Things that you should be enjoying. And
so the solution I'm going to tell you
has helped my buddy do that. And there's
a couple of solutions that I'm going to
give you. The first thing is to
literally start
step by step, small steps. Now you might
be thinking right now, what are you
talking about? I'm going to explain this
to you. This is lifechanging. Don't
leave this video. Okay? So,
imagine
you're like super shy, right?
You're super shy, but you want to look a
certain way. Let's say you want to lose
like 10 pounds and you want to you want
to lean down for the summer. But if
you're too shy, maybe you're scared,
right? You're not going to be able to go
to the gym. So, literally what you want
to do, right?
Instead of going to the gym the first
time and trying to do all these
exercises, right? You want to take one
day to just buy the membership, go in
the gym, walk around the gym, see how it
is. Second day, go in the gym, just do
maybe like 10 minutes of cardio, leave.
Next day, do maybe 15 minutes of cardio.
Maybe do one machine,
and then leave. Fourth day, do the same
thing, but do now another machine, two
machines. Fifth day, three machines. And
then you want to slowly lead up to that
point where you're able to go and do
cardio, be comfortable with it, and go
step by step. Now, the reason why I told
you that is because if you just do
everything at once, it's going to be too
intimidating.
It's going to be way too intimidating.
So, what does that mean exactly? Why am
I telling you this? First of all, I did
that, by the way, when I had gym
anxiety. I didn't go and do this whole
grand event the very first day cuz that
was too nerve-wracking. what I did.
First day bought the membership. Second
day went and got did the cardio. Third
day just did a little more and so on and
so forth.
But I'm telling you this because in
anything in life,
how to enjoy anything that life has in
store for you, you must start step by
step and you must have a realistic goal.
Having a realistic goal is also kind of
the second solution to this. Okay. So
let's say you want to join a club,
right?
First thing you need to do, you need to
start thinking about the small steps in
order to get to that club. Okay, so
here's the thing. I remember I was
telling my buddy, I was like, "Hey, bro,
why do you feel so bad about yourself?"
And he was like, "Honestly, dude, I
really wanted this certain friend group,
this this this friend group where we
were do certain things, the things that
I like, and I haven't gotten in that."
And then I asked him, right? I was like,
"What have you done specifically?
what are the small steps that are you
doing every single day to get to that
specific stage? And he's like, I
actually don't know. And I told him
that's the problem. So I told him this
and then he started doing this, right?
So let's say you're someone who also
wants to get in a certain friend group,
join a certain club. You need to take
small steps to get to that thing. So,
for example,
a small step you could do is every
single day, maybe for a week, search up
on your school or whatever, wherever you
live, what clubs to join, how it is.
Maybe after one week, you maybe just go
inside the building, wherever that club
is, and just like walk around, see how
it is. Then you leave.
Next day, go in and stay for that club
meeting for maybe like 10 to 20 minutes,
and then you stay. And then you leave.
I think you could start to see what I'm
saying now, right? Because in order to
face your fear and achieve something
that you want in life, right? You need
to start it small. You cannot have this
unrealistic goal. And so this buddy who
wanted this certain friend group that he
was putting himself down for, right? He
was just like, "But what if I do all
those things
and I don't get that friend group?" And
I was just like, well, at that point, if
you don't, then who cares? You just
accept it.
And that's the same thing
that happens with conquering fear.
Because imagine this, right? You want
this certain friend group. You're too
shy. You know, you're trying all these
things, but you're like, "Oh, I keep
doing it. I keep doing, but I'm not
getting to it."
It doesn't mean you haven't done
anything. Just means that didn't work
out.
If he doesn't get this certain friend
group, well,
who cares? Maybe the people aren't maybe
those people in his club aren't meant to
be there. Maybe it's the wrong group of
people. That doesn't mean he didn't do
anything. So, you also need to have a
realistic goal for yourself. You're not
going to lose 30 pounds by the end of
next month, no matter how hard you try.
You have to be realistic. And it's step
by step. If you're too shy to meet
people,
you can't realistically tell yourself,
"Okay, I'm going to meet 30 people
within this month." And then when you
don't do that, you can't put yourself
down because of that. You must be
realistic. You have to tell yourself,
hey, every single day, I'm going to try
to start one new conversation with at
least one more person. If you do that
for a week, then you can then you can
tell yourself, okay, for the next week,
for the second week, I'm going to start
two new conversations
and then I'm going to ask for their
Instagram after. And with those small
steps, you face your fear. You can get
used to it step by step. And each step
that you do, you remind yourself and
you're like, "Wait, I did this. It gets
a lot easier. I'm practicing. I'm
practicing talking to people. I'm
practicing uh asking people for their
social media." And it gets less scary.
You cannot go in
and expect to get all these results when
your goal is unrealistic and when you
haven't done the small steps. Just like
driving, bro. I mean, there's driving
school for reason. You don't go in the
highway
as soon as you want to learn how to
drive. you when you want to drive and
you want when you want a car, when you
want your license, when you want to
start driving on your own, you don't go
straight into the highway,
you start little by little, turns,
signals, you get under pressure, you
start driving in like the the four-way
stops, you get that pressure right, but
it's small steps to prepare you for the
big thing. And then when you prepare for
those small steps, you get your license,
and you know, finally, you can drive
whenever. So, it's the same concept. If
you're shy, don't know what to do, you
want a certain goal, you're not
experiencing things, you must start
little by little and you must have a
realistic goal for yourself. So
understand that. Find out things that
you want to do and with those goals that
you have little by little each day, make
a really small goal that you can try to
do and over time you'll see that and
then you're like, "Wait, this is getting
easier." And then you'll achieve that
goal. Like, share, subscribe, and I'll
see you in the next one. Space.
