    I love shy people. I think because they're a challenge. And I love it when they decide to open up and let me into their world.

    Most people are so desperate for someone to know and love them, which isn't a bad thing - but there's just something about the people who just don't try that hard.

    I'm not talking about the people that never talk, but the one's that allow things to sink in and comment when they have confidence in the statement they're making instead of always saying anything just to fill the silence.

    Sub - Topic:

    I also find something really beautiful about when two quiet people get together. Like they have a mutual understanding and make eachother feel special because they've let eachother into their own, very private worlds... As though they know stuff about eachother that noone else does. I like that.

    Not that two very social people in love isn't grand as well - But it just seems more intimate to me when you can look at the body language and how two people interract with eachother and just get the sense that they're just content being by themselves. That they're enough for eachother. They can just relax in social situations because they're not concerned with getting noticed or what anyone else thinks of them as individuals or as a couple.

    I get annoyed when I'm around couples who are so preoccupied trying to look like they're "so in love" at parties and such. - They usually defeat they're own purpose by overdoing it and coming off fake anyway...

    I'm a quiet person who many generally think of as shy. I have met quite a few people who love the challenge
    Some can be alittle overbearing or obnoxious making me withdraw even more.

    Its good that you like to try and get them to open up more, many probably feel greatful for someone taking the time with them.

    I dont think people should have to try hard to get people to know or love them.
    Shy or outgoing we are all the same deep down so as long as you are decent to others you will have people around. Theres no need to try hard to gain it.
    Shy people arent any less or missing anything than more outgoing people.

    I like the allure of knowing where you can enter through back doors off dark alleys into clubs for the late-night crowd. Most of the time I'm rocking the boat by 8:00 am.

    I'm pretty shy. I'm hard to get to know, but once you know me, I'm the man. Like whoa.

    Tongue-tied, (I'm) short of breath, don't even try
    Try a little harder
    Something's wrong, you're not naive, you must be strong
    Ooh, baby, try
    Hey girl, move a little closer.
    You're

    CHORUS:
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush, eye to eye
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush, eye to eye
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush, eye to eye
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush

    Modern medicine falls short of your complaints
    Ooh, try a little harder
    You're moving in circles, won't you dilate
    Baby try
    Hey girl, move a little closer
    'Cause, you're CHORUS:
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush, eye to eye
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush, eye to eye
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush, eye to eye
    Too shy shy
    Hush hush

    Not all shy people crave love.. And that's actually what makes them so apealling.. Even though I'm frightningly shy myself, at least until I get to know you, I find quiet, slightly withdrawn people alot deeper and multi-layed than the brash people who force themselves into my line of sight

    TattooedAquarian, I too am a fan of the people you describe as shy. However, I don't consider such people "shy"; I consider them normal. Everyone else who is loud and overly outgoing (aka attention whores) are that way because of latent insecurities.

    erzebet1961,

    Fortunately shyness is one of the few social anxiety conditions which can be entirely overcome.:)

    When I was 19 years old I was shy as well, but I had this unique ability (or confidence) to walk up to any women from any ethic, racial, or social class (in any circumstance) and find myself actively conversing with them and ultimately charming their panties off.

    Yet under most social circumstances I was quiet and reserved.

    shyness gets you nowhere in life.

    i am by no means shy but not much of a talker if that makes sense.

    I'm extremely shy to a certain class of people. I'm talkative but not open to some people that I am comfortable with. And then, I am loud and crazy and opinionated when I am around complete strangers or the few people I'm reallllyyy close to. It's weird, I know.

    Sometimes, I think it's hard to distinguish the difference between painfully shy people and people with absolutely no personality. I remember I had to drive my cousin's boyfriend to see her in college, which is a 3 hour drive, and at first I thought this kid was just really shy, but I've now concluded he just doesn't have a personality. I'm not saying that to be mean, but he doesn't. He NEVER has anything to say, even to his gf. Being shy myself, especially while growing up, I should be able to relate better, but when you talk to yourself for 3 hours straight with an occasional yes, no, or um that isn't a challenge I would like to pursue.
