Shyness and various forms of social anxiety plague people of all ages in our country, and yet these highly personal problems are often trivialized or ignored.
Shyness seems a deceptively simple problem to correct, a self-imposed stumbling block.
Although shyness can be overcome, it can not simply be eradicated, and therefore must be accepted by the shy person and constantly acknowleged and worked around in order for it no longer to be an obstacle to social success. There are no quick fixes for this problem. This site is obviously still under construction, but someday it will function on four levels to help you or someone you know. Firstly, this site will educate anyone who is interested in shyness, answering frequently asked questions and better defining what shyness and social anxiety disorders are and where they stem from. Third, this site will offer extensive information on Buddhist meditation, a practical way to alleviate all kinds of tension and increase self-confidence and spirituality that I, as a shy person, have found extremely effective.
