I’m a student from the UK on my first work placement. My mentor has told me I’m too shy. how can I just become ‘not shy’ ive been shy my whole life and it’s intimidating working on a big ward with doctors and nurses who all know what they are doing ...

I feel ok with the work I guess I just don’t come across as confident. She said I look lost sometimes when people speak to me ? I don’t know how to appear confident. Thankyou for getting back to me xx

My first year, first placement so I thought they would expect me to lack confidence really. I thought I would naturally gain confidence the more I progress but I feel this has set me back because now I’m worried I may fail in the future due to my shy...
