There are calm and emotional ones. Polite and rude ones. Cheerful and sullen ones. Self-confident and shy ones.

How to communicate with a shy person? How to make such an interlocutor stop worrying and being secretive?
You shouldn’t say the following phrases: “Don’t worry so much!”, “Don’t be shy!”, “Calm down, everything’s fine!”
Of course, you can't make fun of such a person. You shouldn't look at him with a condescending smile either.
Such an interlocutor needs psychological support. And it is very easy to do.
An important rule for communicating with a shy person
You need to look him straight in the eyes. You need to nod while doing this.
A shy interlocutor will immediately come to the conclusion that he is being listened to and taken seriously.
The person will understand that they are not going to be criticized. And then they will calm down, become more confident and start trusting you.
