Say Bye to Shy!
April 12th, 2010 by Nat | Filed under Stuff.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!

dear Girl Power,
I love all your tips about how to act normal in front of your crush, but for me, it’s just not working! For my crush, I’m this dorky, unpopular girl that no one understands, including him. He had a crush on this popular girl at school and I can’t help thinking that they’re perfect for each other. Their name starts with the same letter, they get along well, but no one knows wether he still likes her or not… I can’t get him to like me and I don’t think he does… What should I do?? He doesn’t talk to me much…
Hi Joanne, you don’t seem dorky at all! You seem funny and cool… we bet if your crush knew the real you, he’d agree and fall head over sneakers for you
But here’s the thing – you can’t make someone like you, unless you have a magic spell or the ability to hypnotise people… you just have to wait for him to come to his senses and realise how amazing you are! In the mean time, try try try to forget about your crush and just have fun and be yourself. You could also try getting chummy with his friends (they might tell him how cool you are!) We’ll definitely try and get a guy celebrity to help solve this problem for you…. so stay tuned to GP! x
