Shyness Cannot Be Cured by Meditation. 1 comment
I’ve tried this technique before and all I got at the end was a headache. Seriously, I didn’t realize I was gullible until now. The meditation CD was just comprised of new age whale music. How is that meant to solve a problem that is so deeply ingrained within someone? All it’s done is help make me believe that there is no cure at all for shyness and that I will be eternally afflicted with this cancer until my death.
Or maybe I’m just unable to meditate. When the CD asked me to ‘make my mind still’ thoughts raced inside my brain.
I don’t think meditation even really exists. The people who do ‘perform’ it are probably only asleep. Or fooling themselves. I’ll never be suckered into believing any of that new age crap.

How many times did you try it? You said yourself that the thoughts in your brain were still racing. Meditation is difficult for most people to get right away. There are scientific and clinical studies available proving the benefit of meditation. When done properly, the frequency of brain waves actually changes. A person who meditates is not “just asleep” or “fooling themselves”. Meditation has been around for thousands of years and there are actual measurable physical changes taking place.
Like most things worth doing, it takes practice. You don’t just listen to a CD and all of a sudden, you’re cured. Some people are that lucky, but most have to try more than once.
I know for some people, just the act of quieting the mind, can lessen stress and constant negative rumination. If a negative thought about how “no one wants to talk to me” pops into my head in a social situation, I can swat it away with ease, because I do that to other intrusive thoughts during meditation.
If you don’t care to try, don’t. But I think it’s a mistake to badmouth an activity that helps millions, simply because you weren’t able to get fantastic results immediately.
It rarely takes one day to fix a crippling psychological illness.
