Holy shit im shy.

[Darksim]

I dont understand why...but im shy as fuck. I dont think I was shy as a kid..I think I bit other kids when I was like 4, so I dont know. Soooo....Anyone else as shy as me? like shit, I cant even ask a girl out.

I am shy most of the time, especially around someone I am attracted to.

yeah, me to, but mainly i just don't initiate conversations I need to get invited/pulled in somehow.

Except here, talking on PSU about stuff i think has helped my allowin social interation without shyness it's like a buffer.

It's wierd how the internet strips almost every possible discriminatory/embarasing/stereotypey thing except illiteracy.

This is me too really...

I'm shy around a person I'm attracted to, extremely... I just lose what I'm going to say and just go blank.

Around my friends, I'm the complete opposite - I have a lot of friends, I am the major social creature when it comes to my 'inner circle'.

Most of the time though, I'd be completely content to not talk at all, shadowy and ponderous for teh win.

EDIT: And most of the time it would seem people are content not talking to me... so its not really shyness, its salutory neglect.

I can break anyone out of their shell. Come to PSU:MB and stick with Trig and I, we'll have you half naked, stoned, drunk, and partying like a fucking animal.

No, you just need to get over it.

It's that simple.

Just get over it.

Realise that in all likelihood, people are not going to make fun of you or reject you, and even if they do, the hell with them. Who cares. No one's going to make fun of you or resent you for going out on a limb for any reason. And again, if anyone is, the hell with them.

So I repeat my advice. Just get over it. It really is that easy. The problem is all in your head.

[Pilgrim]

They all hate you and are really out to get you!!!!

Just kidding

I was shy as hell when I was in my teens as well. You'll either

a) Get over it

b) Discover the Joy of Liquid Courage

c) Stay shy and end up jerking off in your mom's basement at 35

So do what Trig said And just get over it!

Really not that hard... and you don't want to end up a drunk or blind do you?

Its not that easy.
I suppose that anyone who is an extrovert like yourself would have problems seeing why asocial individuals feel the way they do, I understand what hes saying perfectly, I've been "shy" my whole life, and have been told in fewer or more words that same advice, it isnt that easy trig, some people are just hardwired to be "shy", its not a fear of being made fun of or anything ridiculous like that, its just that being all outgoing and cheery to everyone has the same appeal to me as skinning my genitals while being raped by a 300 pound hells angel. Oh yeah, getting drunk does work too

[Derfud]

What about drunk and blind?
