For people who shy away from others...Originally posted by BaByBoY:ever considered those ppl that don like to talk or simply to shy to talk to other ppl?]

There won't be any form of help you can provide for them unless they allow avenue for you to communicate with them... One form of more 'ancient' method is by 'restraining'... It would not be encouraged today due to the society's opening up and to speak, it's usually not a very proper way to force someone against his/her unless the person eventually realise that it's for his/her own good... As such, such a method would normally only be encouraged to be used for short term or extreme cases (like crimminals etc...)
The thing we're suggesting here... Phone call. Can be quite an alternative for people who don't really open up to others in person... And it provides anonymous status... Another alternate would be internet (which is already available here?)...
For those 'really hard to crack' people... It'll usually take long term getting together or communicating... Or professionals to handle them... Patience and sincerity are often crucial factors... There're cases where one who have always refuse to talk much just suddenly 'open up' and starts talking.... Till then? Just appropriate 'external monitoring' would usually do the trick? -
