What makes others not respect a shy person?

When a new person enters the room, everyone first of all pays attention to his appearance - posture, plasticity, facial expressions, as well as clothes and shoes. If the stooped, clamped, excessively accurate - "slimy" person enters the room, he says in a low, uneven voice, "hello" and blushing, sweating and stumbling to his worktable, for example, there will surely be someone whom this spectacle will greatly amuse.

This merry fellow will release a couple of jokes about the timid person, most of the others will laugh. And although in a few minutes everyone will forget about it, a timid person will experience the rest of the day, and maybe even a few days after that. And from the experience he will be even more awkward, uncertain, clamped, and, of course, again make some mistake, which again makes everyone laugh. When the same thing is repeated three or four times, it immediately becomes a tradition. And even if the timid person suddenly gets drunk and will come to work in a sleepy state, but calm "like a boa constrictor", jokes about his awkwardness will still sound, or jokes about her sudden absence will sound.

And although all lovers of "home" humor may not want to offend the shy person, they did it and will continue to do it for a long time, even if the timid person suddenly ceases to be timid.

But you can not despair. The simplest thing you can do to inspire confidence and inspire respect for others is to work on your image.
