Is "1 in 3" an adult shy?

Do you think you are shy?

According to a Mentos survey, about 30% of people say that they "think they are shy" (500 men and women in their 20s and 40s, Internet survey). Furthermore, more than 80% of the respondents "think that they are losing their lives" and less than 80% "think that it is necessary to speak to them in order to get along with the person they meet for the first time".

So, the video "Mentos Secret Commander " published on YouTube by Mentos may help you overcome your shyness ...!

● Story

This video is a documentary-style depiction of the "Shy Overcoming Strategy" of shy adults. It begins with the question, "When did we adults forget how to get along with people?" The stage is England.

Innocent children use earphones to give "commands" to adults so that adults who are not good at talking to people with shyness can remember "how to get along with people". "Talk to a gray-haired person,'Hello'," "Talk to a girl in a border shirt," and so on.

Children give commands with earphones

● A little rude

The instructions from the children are innocent and playful, so it's a little (quite?) Excuse me . Some of them are mischievous.

For example, ask a mature man "Will you go to heaven soon?", Have a man with thin hair say "I like your hairstyle", or suddenly ask "Why don't you dance?" In the park. ..

When I was looking at it, I was sick, but I laughed unintentionally at the other person's face and the awkward atmosphere when I was surprised at the unexpected question.

● It works for some reason

However, such a feeling of strangeness can be overcome mysteriously, and the conversation goes well after that. The people in the city who are spoken to are also surprised at first, but the facial expressions and words tell us that they are gradually opening their hearts. Hugging or high-fiving with the person you meet for the first time. If the operation is successful, the children will be happy!

And at the end, it concludes with a stylish message, "What you need to get along with someone. That is ...".

Of course, this is a reaction of British culture, and I think there are various risks if you do the same thing in Japan ... However, the shy writer watched the video and got some courage! How do you guys see this video?
