Shyness is not a trait exclusive to women, there are also a large number of shy men. Some do not even consider themselves shy except in love situations. It is what is known as shyness with women and, like any type of shyness, love-shyness can also be overcome. You just have to dare.
Can you beat shyness with women?
- Like shy women, shy men have a hard time finding a partner, as they become blocked when in front of a woman. The causes of this shyness in men are varied but they all have a common denominator that is low self-esteem. Men who do not consider themselves worthy of being liked or loved, men who idealize the real person and prefer to live a platonic love.
- If you’ve ever met a man and he hasn’t made any move toward you and hasn’t called you back, you probably think he’s not interested in you. It may be that. But it may also be that this man suffers from love shyness and finds himself unable to stay with you. Because surely he thinks something like that you are too much for him.
- Men who are shy around women don’t dare ask her for her phone number, let alone a date. If by chance they coincide, they are nervous, elusive and try to get as far away as possible. This avoidance behavior is motivated by fear of rejection. And it is precisely the fear of rejection that all those shy people have to work on.
- What is the worst that can happen to you if you jump in? Tell you no. But the rejection is not so bad, it is just a refusal that you will have to respect and accept as an adult and mature person. Try to relativize the rejection, because a ‘no’ is not going to determine your love life. On the contrary, the rejection of that person can make you open your eyes and stop idealizing them.
