Were you born shy or did you choose it as a lifestyle? Dr. Neder points a reader in the right direction to solve his shyness - permanently.

Dear Doc:

I’m 33 years old and only had a few relationships in my life. Any women I did date felt like I was settling since I didn’t have the self esteem to get the women I really wanted. I believed very attractive women were too good for me or always interested in some other guy. Looks are not really the problem for me as I’m tall and in shape. I get smiles and second glances from time to time but I just freeze up and only nod hello.

Release any belief you may hold that loving yourself is selfish or egotistical and replace it with the Truth that your very essence is love, that unconditional self love is your birthright.

Are you the ‘glass is half full’ type of person? Is it your nature to look on the bright side of things, or do you relate more with the “if it wasn’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all” crowd? While some psychologists believe genetics largely determines whether or not we have a positive or negative outlook towards life, the reality is that we can to a large degree alter our outlook by changing our attitude. Realizing a few years back that my attitude left a lot to be desired, I decided to try and improve it by reading positive books and applying some of the techniques I came across. While the individual authors all had their own particular take on it, much of what I read came back to developing a sense of self worth and gratitude. I have used several of the exercises that follow to help me develop these qualities, and have also found them useful in creating a positive mental state at will.
