How to become more confident? Does the idea of social interaction send panic waves through your body? Yeah, it tends to do that for shy people. But even if you’ve been the quiet type your whole life, there are lots of things you can to do build your confidence, become more charismatic, and get rid of that social awkwardness for good!

Do you know that advertising your shyness, you’re only trapping yourself in this label? People might not even see you as quiet or awkward until you bring it up! And from then on, they’ll only be able to see you that way. There’s nothing wrong with being “the shy one” but holding onto that label can really set you back if you sincerely wanna open up and be more conversational. Do you wanna learn more about that?

Do you know that people forget approximately 95% of their dreams as soon as they wake up or shortly after? Scientists still don’t know exactly why we dream. But what they do know with certainty is that every person on this planet dreams for about 2 hours a night, even those who claim that they never do! Such people simply don't recall their dreams.

Brain scans done on sleeping people show that their frontal lobes, which are responsible for memory formation, aren't active during REM (or rapid eye movement) sleep. And this is exactly the stage of sleep when you dream. See the catch? At the same time, though, there are some tricks you can use to remember your dreams better!

In a room full of people, do you tend to hide in the corner? Blend into the wallpaper? Maybe even sneak under the rug? Even the shyest people can use certain psychological techniques that will persuade others to listen to them. 

For example, if you don't feel comfortable meeting new people or talking in front of an audience, trick your brain into believing that you do! If you need someone to agree with you, nod your head while you're speaking. Your companion is likely to subconsciously mirror you and start nodding in response. So, guys, if you wanna communicate in a more confident way, these ideas also help you to make a good first impression, improve your communication skills, and attract attention.

Here're 5 abandoned towns straight out of a fantasy or science fiction movie. Let's learn their stories and why these places that once flourished, turned into lifeless spots...
