A RE you self-conscious when you meet people? If so", would
you like to know how to cure yourself?
1 . y First, you must not worry ill you are self-conscious when
meeting strangers. Know that ipost people are a bit worried
on such occasions for meeting new people is
a strain. Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, .as
a boy was so self-conscious when meeting peo
ple that he would not come to the dining taWe
if he saw'jahjTejttJSi plate laid for company. He
would stay outside and eat ii^he kitchen
rather than go through the strain of meeting
a stranger or someone he did not know well.
This was true of General Wainwright
D. Carnegie when he was a young man. He says, “I was
always ill at ease when I met somebody new, particularly if I
thought that person more important than myself.” Yes, those
are the words from the Hero of Bataan. And no one wiU say
that he did not have courage.
As a young lad Eddie Rickenbacker was so shy that Ke
would cross the street to avoid saying “Good morning” to the
neighbors.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, author, was so self-effacing
as a boy that when he saw a visitor coming through the
front gate he would run to the kitchen and stay there,
rather than go to meet him, even though the visitor
was a family friend. This uncomfortable trait persisted
after he was married. Sometimes when company came
he would say he had a headache and go to his room,
leaving his wife to entertain the callers.
Of course there are examples of super-sensitiveness and
self-consciousness. But this basic fact remains true for nearly
every one.
Here are three simple ways to help cure yourself of self-
consciousness. Apply them and you’ll get results that will ja-
tonish you;
1—Don’t think about yourself; think about the other per
son. At the bottom of nearly all self-conacibusness is this fault
of self-thinking. Talk about other things, the other person;
listen to what he has to say; forget your own interests.
2—Take a course in public speaking. This will help you Ed
lose your fear of. crowds and when you lose your fear of crowds
you are likely to lose your fear of individuals. Even fear of
your boss when you want to ask for a raise.
3—Interest yourself in neighborhood or community activi
ties. Help jn organization work; put yourself before the public
eye. . - :i
Try these three simple rules fpr jix months and youTl be
amazed at the result. You’ll not only cure yourself of self-
consciousness but you will make more friends in that length of
time than you have made in the past two years.
