As a "recovering" shy person, what helped me was the following Frame: we care. We really really care to get things right and we expect that others will have the same standards. This can apply to everything, be it professional, artistic, social, political The key for me to overcome that was: * Desensitizing myself. Fake it till you make it works * Take note and log how much people actually care if you put yourself out there and make a mistake. Hint: not a lot * Work on finding where exactly ego is too large and fragile. This is often for brainy people the "i can't just say anything, it needs to be perfect" trap Viewing these things as a process which can be practiced word immensely well for me. But it is very hard to get started, not gonna lie. I got a kick towards it through emotional trauma
