Identifying a Person with a Timid Nature And The Early Signs To Help them Improve

Just because someone is timid does not mean they want to stay that way. In fact, to think of it, who wants to be shy and nervous? Who doesn’t want to live freely, talk openly and express themselves?

We will explore the early signs of a timid person, how to tell if someone is naturally timid, and the warning signs of being overly-shy. We will also discuss ways to help those who aren't naturally outgoing become more comfortable with others. We will also share some tips on how to help children or adults with a timid nature overcome their fear of social settings.

Identifying the Timid Nature

While it is more common among people to be extroverted, there are several early warning signs that you may have a timid nature. It usually comes from the environment children grow up with at home. Children learn a lot from their home. It is where they feel the most comfortable and most familiar. If you live with parents who don’t have close relationships with other people such as extended family or friends, you are most likely to not be exposed to new people and experiences. Likewise, if you have parents who do not allow for open discussion and use the “don’t question, just follow” method of parenting, this too will keep your mind narrowed to that way of thinking.

There are many people who have "timid nature" but are not really aware of it, so it's a lot to handle and make changes if the change isn't really wanted. For change to happen, you must want it. If you are parents to timid children, you have to be able to identify the timid behaviour of your child and get him or her help. By recognizing "the early signs", you can help someone become more aware of their timid nature and face it head on.

Knowing the Early Signs of a Timid Person

Some people just seem shy and timid. You might know someone like this. They're quiet, keep to themselves, and don't really show much emotion. In other words, they're not very outgoing. This causes problems when they feel pressure to act differently. It's tempting to tell them to "just be yourself" or "be more outgoing." However, that doesn't help at all! Shyness is a completely normal trait in kids, teenagers, and adults.

Simple ways you can identify if you have Timid Nature:

1. Ask yourself if you are doing what you want or if you’re just following others

2. If people ask you to do something, do you know why?

3. When was the last time you did or took something that you wanted, did you ask for it?

4. Is there something you weren’t sure about but too scared to ask?

Downfalls of being Timid

Being timid is something that a lot of people suffer from. This is when someone feels self-conscious in certain social situations. They are often at a loss for what to say and how to interact with others around them. In the rarest of cases a child may even start being shy as early as the age of three or four years old. This is very sad because it can set the tone for the rest of their lives if something is not done about it early on.

There are many downfalls of being timid which include:

1. Lack happiness

2. Low self worth

3. Low self esteem

4. Bottle up emotions

5. Stagnant lifestyle

6. Can’t defend themselves

7. Can’t speak-up for themselves or what they believe in

8. Low confidence

How to cope as a Timid Person

From the first days of school to that first job, how you handle difficult situations can make all the difference. If you're shy or timid, try not to let it stop you from reaching for your goals. There are some things you can do—starting today—that will help you be more confident around people and feel good about yourself. Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort-zone. For example, ask those ‘silly’ questions, tell someone how you really feel, ask your parents or superior at work what you want or wish to have.

When people get worried or anxious, it might just mean that they care about something and are thinking of things they can do about it. If you suffer from worrying too much, just know it can be very normal and a part of human nature. It is what keeps us on our feet and alert. There is a normal and healthy level of worry, but anything beyond to the point of anxiety can cause physical issues such as heavy breathing or cold sweats and so on.

There are several warning signs you can look for when you suspect someone is being timid or shy. What's important is to realise that people who are timid are also those who aren’t likely ask for help with this. They're often going to rely on you as a friend to notice the early signs and give them a little push or a gentle nudge in the right direction.
