Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy, It isn’t a very big problem. But some become so shy that they can’t do the things they wanted to do.

Put your attention somewhere else. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don’t waste time w 【7】about your looks or whether people like you or not.
