Another way to work on overcoming shyness is to find something you enjoy or are good at that you aren't afraid to share. That is what Allyse Meanea from New Harmony, Utah, did.
Allyse says she is shy around people she doesn't know and that she has a fear of public speaking. "I think people will think the worst of me and that it won't turn out well." But Allyse likes to dance and was given the opportunity to do a solo dance in front of a group of people.
"When I'm dancing, I'm not nervous or shy. I can forget about myself and those people and concentrate on what I am doing. I couldn't talk in front of people, but I can dance in front of them just fine."
