I've probably done this 10 times in the past 5 years, most of which have been in the last 12 months. Really though, whenever I do it, it's been with my dog at stupidly early times.
I know it's better than not doing anything at all, but I want to improve faster I've tried just jumping into the deep end, and walking him around on a Saturday afternoon, but I just can't get out of the door. I've tried things like walking to the shop with my only friend, then waiting outside as she goes in, and vice versa, but nothing really past that.
Does anyone have any methods or techniques to help with building up confidence to go out alone? I really want to change things (and tomorrow, I won't want to... I have phases of caring about my self improvement).
Sorry if this is in the wrong section... Doesn't really deal with a shyness towards other people as much as it does with a fear of other people, but I guess it still counts.
