You cant be serious...is this really the approach you'd recommend to overcoming shyness, just decking someone in the face? The demons that both of you may be fighting are on the inside. There are a lot of terrible human beings out there, but by hitting them all you may be doing is bringing them down but hurting yourself in the process.

Actually, why not. Though i wouldn't use violence myself because i've found comfort in my passive persona but anyone in their teens could really benefit. Think about it, whack someone, knock them out, feel pride for having stood up for yourself and what you stand for, lose fear and BINGO! You become conscious of who you are and what you're fighting for and stop being scared. I think if i'd beaten more people up in my youth instead of telling myself 'they're not worth it' like a little pretentious pussy i'd have ended up a stronger person.
And btw, i mean whack someone who's hurt you in some way. Not some randomer on the street. That would be psychotic (or chanvy lol)
