I can be shy in social situations, but I think it's related to being deaf and sometimes worried about how I will sound or communicate with someone. Nice, post!

I've been an extrovert for much of my life (but, ironically, I find myself still tensing up in some situations). A great way for someone to overcome/manage their shyness is to strike up small-talk with cashiers and similar workers. I usually like to make a comment about how I can tell they're ready to get off work and go home. It usually elicits a smile, and a quick 60 second conversation. By the time it's over, my groceries are sacked and ready to go. It's a great way to get in the habit of saying hi and starting convo with complete strangers. Plus, people love it because it gives them a break in their, otherwise, monotonous work day. -Deon Great advice, Susan.
