And like the old stereotype, I overcame my shyness by making my friends laugh.

Paul Merton

I started studying shyness in adults in 1972. Shyness operates at so many different levels. Out of that research came the Stanford shyness clinic in 1977.

Philip Zimbardo

I never overcame my conviction that writing for commercial television was a kind of prostitution.

Helene Hanff

It was only in South Africa that I got over this shyness, though I never completely overcame it. It was impossible for me to speak impromptu. I hesitated whenever I had to face strange audiences and avoided making a speech whenever I could. Even today I do not think I could or would even be inclined to keep a meeting of friends engaged in idle talk.

Mahatma Gandhi

Shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life that you'd like to.

Steven Morrissey

Shyness is I-ness. Shyness is really wondering if you have other people's approval.

Dorothy Sarnoff

If you want to be a reference librarian, you must learn to overcome not only your shyness but also the shyness of others!

S. R. Ranganathan

In my life I've gone through a lot of really hard times. I went through depression and had so many challenges that I overcame. And I overcame because I just decided to be happy.

Lilly Singh

Shyness is the fear of social disapproval or humiliation, while introversion is a preference for environments that are not overstimulating. Shyness is inherently painful; introversion is not.

Susan Cain

The level of shyness has gone up dramatically in the last decade. I think shyness is an index of social pathology rather than a pathology of the individual.

Philip Zimbardo

If you want to do something big in your life, you must remember that shyness is only the mind. If you think shy, you act shy. If you think confident you act confident. Therefore never let shyness conquer your mind.

Arfa Karim

Among the wealthy, generosity is often merely a kind of shyness.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Avoid problems, and you'll never be the one who overcame them.

Richard Bach

We need to do teacher training to educate them about what temperament means. Shyness is painful and you want to help a child with shyness - but the underlying temperament of being a careful, sensitive person is to be honoured, valued and respected.

Susan Cain

Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There's a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing's kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there's also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person.

David Foster Wallace

Never let shyness conquer your mind.
