I hate being shy

hey, as a recovering shyness addict, i can tell you honestly that when i stopped taking myself so seriously, stopped obsessing over myself and my supposed faults, the better i did. narcissism. i've seen it again and again.

 

aww I think I understand better...thanks kc

 

i used to be really quiet/shy until a friend of mine pointed it out. i guess i used too think about what to say for a long while and pick the right words to use and plan everything out so it sounded right and by the time i had a response that satisfied me enough to say the moment had gone. so now i just talk. which means that most people i talk to think that i'm constantly stoned because i go too fast for what i'm thinking and leave words out. but it's still better than being the quiet one that doesn't say anything.

good luck on recovering from the horrible thing of being shy.

peace out.

 

there is a book that i have but have yet to read yet... it's called "the introvert advantage" and it looks really good.

 

i used to think i was shy... but now i'm not so sure. i think i'm just "socially retarded" i never know what to say. i'm really bad at the whole "hi, how are you?" thing :& . i've been "faking" it lately though. i've always smiled and just said hi before.
hmm.. i don't know

 

Mabye you aren't interested in other people's feelings anymore.

I used to be very shy too and I was trying to get rid of it almost four years and I now I finally achieved that. I think that the main reason for that was that I realised that all people have something they are worth about, so I started to br interested about every person I met. And I also realized that I am not worse than the other people and that they are interested to hear what I think too. So I am not afraid to say what I think anymore no metter how weard my thoughts are.
Good luck I know you'll suceed. Write if you need help.

 

You sound just like somebody I know in real life.

 

same here i know no one at school and i say about a sentence a day and thats if someone talks to me first its realy bad i have very very few friends,i have no firends in my school and i tihnk thats part of the problem when im arounf people i know its easyer to talk to people i dont know, today i said hello and im not in your history class

 

Everytime i talk people tell me to shut up

 

Try to get close to people you don't know and that don't know that you're shy. It is easier to change your shy personality in that way.

 

Just be yourself and let the world appreciate you for who you are, shy or proud. Don't change for anybody but yourself.

 

thats my problem i cant get close to people i know...

 

Tell the people you know more about you, your interests and feeleins. Let them come into your mind and they will let you get close with them.

 

I'm like that...I think Katina maybe kinda right. Other people's feelings just kinda bore me sometimes. It's not relevant to my life, their stories offer nothing, and it makes talking to people a chore. The only time I really do is with good friends or during some kind of discussion. About something relevant to something.
