Sports! I played for the football team, I was very timid and unable to hit at the beginning, but they put me with the line and I toughened up very quickly. The enforcement of communication in sports through talking is crucial to a team’s success, bottom line.

If you want to stop being as shy as you are, I’d say to make a friend or two with a person who plays sports and talk to them a lot about playing the sport.

The ex de facto tool to stop being shy is to simply be more expressive of yourself. I find that Italians have this ability naturally, making it very easy to make friends and go through life.

The best way to carry a conversation is to just think of the most relevant thing in your life and how it applies to the conversation, and speak it out.

Be bold, yet not too bold, and don’t be nervous, be espressive.
