shy t.o.d

a lot of things come out of networking, social networking especially, but my tip for today is to make who you are behind the screen come to life. we find a lot of comfort behind the screen, people don't get a sense of who we are, and we can let loose. go out and meet some people...ok, meet some ONE, fine....just smile and or just say hello.

shy guys in washington dc

all you shy guys/gals in dc…get out there and do some dancing. there are tons of free classes as well. did you hear that? free.
going out dancing and taking dance classes is a great way to let loose, along with meeting new people. it’s a sure way to just throw yourself out there. No one is judging you, and once again no one cares how bad you are. when you realize that you are the only one that cares, then the rest is gold. If you get laughed at, rest assured that it is indeed probably funny, laugh at yourself.
i took a dance class once, a few times actually. i had a blast, did i look silly thinking i can Bachata better than Miguel, but oh well. its something that i still laugh about to this day and so what if i was the butt of everyones jokes that night.
1. i will probably never see them again
2. i probably had more fun than they did
3. i burned a few calories while they sat back and laughed
4. …they wish they had the attention
5. i win, you lose haha

ps. i was really a better dancer than i thought

shy model

i had the chance to interview a model who is a full time student and participates in new york fashion week, and asked her about runway modeling and photo shoots. she really enjoys modeling but she struggles with direction sometimes. she told me that majority of the people she has worked with are not as fierce as their shots. a lot of them deal with insecurities brought about by the industry itself. "you would be shocked", she tells me.
i attended a photo shoot after i interviewed her to see what she meant first hand. this was a different kind of shy. it was shy in the sense of getting comfortable with the poses and direction, but they weren’t shy in the sense of speaking out when they disagreed with something. i know i would have probably just did the shoot and complain about it later.
this story gives us all something to take away. if we don’t like it, its ok to say no, especially if it’s in an industry when your name(face) is on it forever.

shy Story

i remember one time i was at a birthday party, i was about 7 or 8, and i was so shy i didn't eat. IT WAS A PIZZA PARTY, MY FAVORITE!!! ind i didn't eat. isn't that dumb? i was too scared people were looking at me.
if i could go back in time, i would eat more pizza than all of those guys...especially tommy who was fat and used to pick on me...hmph.

shy T.O.D (tip of the day)

...just do it, what do you have to lose? when you realize that you are the only one who cares, you'll then realize that you can do it.

shy Celeb of the Day

BEYONCE KNOWLES
yup, i said the same thing. believe it or not she considers herself very shy and quiet. i'm finding that more and more performers outlet to their shyness is...performing. i guess that makes sense.
her songs such as Single Ladies, Diva, If I Were A Boy, Bootylicious etc. it's kind of surprising. her alter ego Sasha Fierce was "created to protect Beyonce". that's who she is when she performs these songs, and her niche is empowering other women. whatever it is, keep doing what you do.

why me???

so i was surfing the web and came up with the most relevant words that describe being shy. thanks . i would use bashful, suspicious, and reluctant, but im not any of those, im the complete opposite.
