Has anyone here successfully went from shy, low self confidence

Depends what was the accident?

Also be yourself, not everyone has to be a superstar.

My best bud living with me ended up killing himself. I got depressed and stopped being a people person. Got shy and low self esteem.

I used to be super bubbly, confident and outgoing

>I used to be super bubbly
gee, I wonder why someone who lived with you would want to kill themselves

I did, by faking everything until it seemed natural to me. I would force myself to say hi to everyone, make eye contact but never be the first to look away. Forced myself to talk to people. I wasn't arrogant but I pretended like I was the shit and for some reason people believed it.

It wasn't easy, but it wasn't that hard either. I just faked everything until it came naturally. I started after I realized that people didn't like being around shy, insecure people.

i guess that was the wrong word. We we're both really high energy I guess you could say.

fair enough man, it'll come back the more i force it

>>17245729
what an awful thing to say. why would you post that?

>>17245713
Yeah, by improving myself, improving both my social skills, confidence, working out, starting to do sports as a teen, going out, all that stuff.

But I can't really go full 100% due to some problems, hell I sure would like to, it's just something else I've got to fix, not a common thing, but it affects a lot

>Has anyone here successfully went from shy, low self confidence to one hundred percent comfortable and outgoing around people?

get therapy
practice being sociable until you get the skill back
if possible overwrite bad experiences with good ones

treat your overall depression if you have it

it's 4chan/the internet. He doesn't mean it, and he certainly wouldn't say that IRL. He's just trying to fit in with the "edgy" crowd. I definitely don't take offense to it.
