Often such feelings arise because you have high hopes for the outcome of the conversation. Instead, learn to be a bit more indifferent, and just have fun. Also, make sure you are listening to the other person. Usually we feel self-conscious when we are focusing inwardly instead of outwardly. Pay attention to the content of the conversation, not to how you are feeling. Great post, thanks for the tips! To overcome self-consciousness, it often helps to analyze your expectations.

I've come to understand that lack of self confidence is nrmally seen among our students and if such will be eradicated, we must start preaching of ones ATTITUDE. Attitude have a lot of thing to do in mind development. If u can sum the word attitude with alphabetical numbering, it will amount to 100% i’m a crusader of mind development and will always be.

I am very active in other people's life and in getting to know them and always giving to them first of generousity in spirit and material. But it is not reciprocated. I'm getting bitter and angry about it now that I am in my 50's and want more qualitative reciprocative relationships. Even with friends who have similar values--it seems I've trained them well to take and not worry about giving back. I have one friend who does give back and want more friends like her-she is the person who has shown me that a mature relationship is giving and receiving amongst people who share the same values and ideals. I am utterly disgusted with my other friends but know they are just unaware. Any suggestions on how to develop more of what I want?
