Hey Girl Powerettes!

Are you lost for words whenever your cute crush is nearby? Do you turn fire engine red whenever the cool crowd’s around? Then you’re probably sick of feeling SHY!

Shyness is something nearly all people have trouble with, even super celebs like R-Pattz! Cutie Rob recently spilled that he never thought he’d make it as an actor, “I was quite shy throughout my life,” he says.

Shyness can be tough to manage, so here are some ‘boost yourself up’ tips to beating the blushworthy blues!

• Shy Sitch 1: Crush Control
  Firstly, being shy around the guy you like is sooo normal… but did you know that it can actually work in your favour? Body language experts say that shy body language (like glancing over at a boy, then looking away) can actually increase your attractiveness. Here’s a tip for the next time your crush starts talking to you – stop stressing about what to say and  just listen! You might find out you have something in common with your crush, which is the first step towards feeling less nervous around him!

• Shy Sitch 2: Popularity Panic
  The cool crowd at school even managed to make awesome America Ferrera feel insecure. “My high school days were definitely not the best days of my life,” she recently spilled. “The pretty and popular girls just reminded me that I wasn’t pretty and popular enough.” Remember that the cool folks are just the same as you. They might seem super confident, but on the inside, they sometimes feel lonely and insecure, just like you. Try to keep positive! Be yourself  and make an effort to be friendly to all your school mates. Once people discover how fab you are they’ll be falling over themselves to be your friend!
