    I bet that actor that he is refering to is Robin Williams. He was a chubby child who was really quiet, shy and kind of an outcast. He just got out of it by using his humour to make friends and became really popular…

    at 13 , you don’t have girlfriends. you ask them out and the relationship would probably just be in school

    how do you know they have had SEX?

    For some it can be true but not for me. I´m always myself and do the things that I like to do without caring about what other people think of it. I work out and I like to watch MMA and I have trained boxing and karate but I did that because I liked it not to overcompensate and being macho. I don´t know why I´m too shy to approach girls. I am good looking. I know a lot of people and most people like me.

  5. BadassMMA says:

    Nope not for me. I´m my self when I´m not shy. That is around the people that I know. I´m not my self when I´m shy because then I can´t be my self and show my personality.

    Yeah, 13 year old relationships last what? a week?

  8. BananaSmoothieInc says:

    OMG. i totally agree… you can`t be yourself when your shy!

  9. PunkyPrincessPop says:

    This video is actually kinda offensive to shy people. Shyness is NOT about being selfish, I don’t think I’ve ever ‘overcompensated’ in conversations. If anyone’s overcompensating it’s him talking about a subject on which he has no real knowledge!! !

    i agree man, i hate when a woman flarts on me all night… kinda stinky and wet

    I know what it’s like to overcome shyness, and whatever this man is saying is complete B.S. It’s hard to be yourself when you’re constantly worrying about what others are thinking of you, you want to kind of be unoticed or left alone. I know when I was shy I hated being asked things like “Why are you shy?” or “Why do you have to be so quiet?” Being confident is hard, but not impossible. Start walking with your head up, one thing that keeps be confident is thinking I’m better than everyone else.

  12. FeijoaVodka says:

    (Continuing from comment below)
    I know it may sound bad but it really boosts your self confidence. Start to speak your opinions, even if you think someone is going to point & laugh in your face, express yourself because you are you, and that person is just another nobody. If your self conscious, start thinking about all the good things about you, and all the bad stuff about everyone else, it helps! I’m not going to give you advice like be friendly to all. Be you, because your better than them.

    just man up and do the dew!!

  20. CaseRed0605 says:

    You missed the whole point of his statement. He doesn’t actually think he’s better than everyone else or ahead of everyone else. Positive reinforcement is what the point was, it builds self-confidence, and allows for the individual to keep his/her head up and be much more self sufficient and authoritative in social situations.

  21. csybu says:

    I am not really shy but I dont know what shall I say to most of the people. I mean I know what to say to my friends and stuffs, but most of them are extremly social. I dont know what shall I do about it. It is so unconftable…. I might ruined my guitar duett with this as well, because we just played in a festival for 5 days and when I was not drinking I just did not know what to say to him (otherwise we were best friends) . Is there anything I can do about it????

  22. veryfast360 says:

    how to talk to the hottie in the street ????

  23. taikukaikei says:

    wow i really like this dude… he’s so layd back.

  24. IslandMonster69 says:

    how do you change your whole personality though? i want to have close relationships and be the one who “talks alot”, but instead i’m the quiet, awkward one who few people are interested in. i need help, its ruining my life.

  25. funnelking300 says:

    honestly man the only person who can help you is yourself, somehow look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself to man the fuck up an stop being shy. You just gotta bite the bullet! if a chick doesn’t dig you who gives a fuck don’t take it personally its her loss!! just be yourself and as casual as you are with you mates maybe a bit less sexist but have a good time, gals like guys who can be cool and relaxed around them.
