letters of advice are usually informal in style and are written to express sympathy and encouragement. in the first paragraph we express our sympathy and state the reason for writing. in the main body paragraph we give our advice and possible results. in the last paragraph we write our closing remarks.
Our shyness often prevents us to carry out our desires.
It is because of shyness we are afraid to perform on stage, meet new people and to talk to the boss about a pay rise. Pinching yourself in a certain frame, we are handicapping ourselves to be happy.
As a result of many restrictions people have various complexes. Not once done what we want, we begin to regret, to get angry and produce more different complexes.
The presence of complexes has a strong effect on personal life of any person. Because he can't meet a hot girl, because he thinks himself terrible. Can't ask which hour the stranger, as he considers himself annoying. Glubochaishie with this problem you have to fight. For the beginning I advise you: 1) 2) 3) These three steps will help you cope with this problem!
