Are you shy? Do you wish you could be a bit more outgoing? While I have pals that embraces their reserved and shy ways, I also know others who wish they could climb right out of their shells and turn on their inner extrovert. Check out what researchers are saying about an innovative thing that could "cure" shyness ...
Are you shy? Do you wish you could change that about yourself? While shyness is in no way a flaw (I love the shy people in my life), it's sometimes associated with frustration. Some, say experts, feel trapped in their shy minds, wishing they could feel more comfortable speaking in groups or sharing their feelings with friends.
Now, researchers say they may have a quick fix: the shyness cure! Oddly, a nasal spray consisting of the hormone oxytocin, a hormone known to increase feelings of empathy among people, may help shy folks break through their barriers. In the small study, while the nasal spray did have confidence-boosting effects in timid people, it didn't have any effect in naturally confident people, the researchers say.
Are you on the shy side? Would you use a nasal spray if you were convinced that it might help alleviate your shyness?
P.S. Are you comfortable being alone? And, the thing that way be more effective than pills at fighting depression...
