Advice for the Shy

FAITH LAPIDUS: Now we turn to some of the comments posted on our relationship advice blog. A twenty-year-old engineering student from Brazil wrote recently about his struggle with extreme shyness. He says he cannot talk to people at his university. He even has troubling speaking in class to his teachers.

He says he is friendless and suffered depression last semester. He says he does not know how to get better.

Some of you had ideas. Carlos, also from Brazil, suggested that the student may be suffering from social anxiety disorder and should seek professional help. Carlos says the young man might need medication like antidepressants. Gina also advised the man to get professional help. She suggested talk therapy and joining a support group.

Several comments came from people who shared their own difficulty with shyness and how they overcame it. Someone from Turkey wrote about having had almost no friends at university and talking to a school therapist. She suggested joining a club at school. The student joined the chess club and made some friends that way.

Jambo from Tanzania had similar advice for the engineering student in Brazil: Try to engage yourself in sports or clubs that make you feel strong and confident. Jambo says he formed a soccer team at his college: When we play I automatically find myself talking and laughing. Now all my shyness and fear have gone, says Jambo.

Santigold "Master of My Make-Believe"

HOST: Santigold has worked with musicians from Kanye West to Lily Allen to Christina Aguilera and the Beastie Boys. She has traveled and performed with the Beastie Boys and other artists, including Bjork and Coldplay.

Santigold writes songs, produces and sings. Her latest record album is called "Master of My Make-Believe." It was released four years after her first album. Katherine Cole has some of the new songs.

KATHERINE COLE: Santigold told Pitchfork.com that the rebellions and riots that have been taking place around the world influenced much of the album. She said it seemed like a truth was coming out. She said the song "Disparate Youth" is about young people creating their own world instead of just accepting what is given to them. The song says: Don't look ahead there's stormy weather / Another road block in our way / But if we go, we go together / Our hands are tied here if we stay.
