Would Knowing You’re Going To Die In 2 Weeks Get Rid Of Your Shyness?
Posted on 04. May, 2009 by admin in Psychology
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be told that you have 2 weeks left to live? Has the thought ever made you strangely excited?
This isn’t unusual. Many shy people get this thrill. They think that if they were going to die in 2 weeks, they really wouldn’t care what other people thought anymore and their shyness would just disappear. Would this actually happen…or would the person continue to be shy?
What!?!! Is there even a possibility that knowing you’re going to die in 2 weeks wouldn’t change your shyness one bit? I know this is a little hard to accept, but in this article I’ll show you the following:
- Why you may be frustrated because, in theory, it seems so simple to just “pretend you’re going to die” and overcome shyness that way. But when it comes to cold hard reality, you still have that mental block in place that stops you from really living and expressing yourself without nervousness.
- How to use the psychology behind “dying in 2 weeks” to help you overcome your shyness, and get that feeling of being the one in control of your life with no excuses to hold you back.
Why Knowing You’re Gonna Be Dead Soon May Not Work
Many shy people have what I call the “Fixing Mindset”. They think that if only they could fix something about themselves, then they wouldn’t care what other people thought anymore.
Shy people are a lot more critical of themselves than others. They have a very low self-image and may blame their shyness on many different OUTSIDE factors, like having bad teeth, being overweight or having uncool clothes. They think that if only they could get that fixed, they would be okay and wouldn’t be so self-conscious anymore.
Often they finally “fix” the problem, but they’re still the same person. Nothing has changed, really. And they may even look for a new thing that needs “fixing”, just as a way of justifying why they are still shy.
The interesting thing is, there are many outgoing, popular and social people out there with the exact same problems as the shy people, but it doesn’t affect them. They live regular, happy lives and have lots of friends.
So what’s the difference? The difference is that shy people always think that something about them needs to be “fixed” when really, the REAL problem is how the thing AFFECTS them inside. If it didn’t AFFECT them, it wouldn’t need to be fixed. They wouldn’t even be aware of the “problem”!
What Does This Have To Do With Dying?
Many shy people are attracted to the idea of being told they’re going to die in 2 weeks because it gives them the feeling that something inside would be “fixed”. The feeling of relief or excitement you get when thinking of how you would behave if you were gonna die in 2 weeks is there because you think it’ll fix the main problem that’s holding you back.
The problem of facing your fears.
If you were going to die in 2 weeks, what could you be afraid of? Being confident in front of a large group of people? Kissing a random stranger? Going out on a date? There really isn’t anything left to fear, once you know you’re going to die in 2 weeks. You know you’re a goner anyway, so none of this would matter, would it?
Why Does Dying In 2 Weeks Work So Well At “Fixing” Fear?
The secret isn’t in the “dying” part of the idea, but in “2 weeks”. Knowing there’s ONLY 2 weeks gives you a deadline that you have to meet.
Once there’s a deadline, you know that there’s no more time to screw around or avoid taking risks or be afraid of silly things like parties and attractive girls/guys. All these things become small and insignificant, because you only have a limited amount of time left!
How To Die In 2 Weeks Or 2 Months Or 2 Years…
“This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time.”
First you have to know, not fear, but know that someday you are going to die. Until you know that, you have no sense of urgency. You think you have all the time in the world to do amazing things, but you may not live to see that particular someday.
That’s the trick behind how to get the feeling you’re going to die in 2 weeks: YOU ACTUALLY ARE! Okay, maybe not 2 weeks, but there’s a definite number.
If you’re 20 years old, and can expect to live up to 80, the you have 3122 weeks left to live.
Next week it’s going to be 3121.
Final Note: Has this post given you a little bit of motivation to “take a stand and overcome your shyness”? Soon I’ll write a post on why getting brief flashes of motivation won’t ever get rid of your shyness in real life, and what will. (Hint: It’s not time, but changing one of the basic “processes” in how you think that’s holding you back. Stay tuned.)
