Your confidence is reflected through your body language. Since we do not have access to anybody's thoughts and inner anxieties, we rely on the body language to gaze the level of confidence in others. The first thing we notice about others is the way the person conducts himself while walking and talking. Confidence is eye catching and gives one the feeling of owning the world.

Shyness is nothing but a feeling of insecurity and extreme awkwardness around others that interferes with one's day to day functioning.  It is prevalent in both adults and children. We all have an episode of shyness at some point or other in our lives. However, it is selective and temporary. Problems occur when shyness takes control of our lives and prevents us from pursuing our career or meeting new people.

Shyness prevents us from appreciating ourselves fully. To overcome shyness, we need to understand our uniqueness with the help of self worth. Self worth is the most powerful emotion that enables one to accept, love and care for ourselves. Confident people rarely suffer from shyness thanks to this emotion of self-worthiness.

Shyness leads to deprivation of many things both material and non-material. To prevent this from happening, we need to be aware of our own needs and wants. In and enjoy social interactions. This happens partially because of our earlier experiences with the society or else it happens when we are not able to convey our needs and wants to the other people effectively.

People suffering from intense shyness tend to misinterpret the social behaviour in a threatening way. By understanding the A's and B's of interaction, you will be able to set things straight. Misinterpreting the body language of other people leads to frequent feelings of anxiety and shyness.
