Sean Ringgold talks about overcoming shyness by accepting yourself and stopping worry about what others think. He says many people put on a show while suffering inside, and that real freedom comes from being comfortable in your own skin.
Were you shy at one point? Yeah, to some degree. Was it hard being in front of the camera, being shy? Oh. I'm gonna tell you a secret right now, Chris. One of the biggest secrets I have as an actor and as a human being. When a person, a human being is comfortable in their own skin, it is like the day that you are set free, the shackles of your mind are broken forever. When you're comfortable with who and what you are and what God has created in you, nothing can stop you. And one of the biggest things I've learned, stop caring about what other people think of you. It can drive you crazy. Everyone is trying to put on a show and they're dying inside. That's one of the biggest things that have helped me, that I feel that if other people could adapt that mindset of just being comfortable in your own skin, it's impossible to be shy.
