I Am Shy

i have always been shy ever since i was a child, i have friends, i dont know how, but they all know I'm shy and they want to try and help me break out of it, but what they don't realize is when you are a certain way for a long time and you try to break out of it, its hard because you're so used to being shy. on the internet I'm not very shy because you're anonymous but in real life I won't go up to someone and say hi, i usually wait for them to say anything and then i can start a conversation

I know exactly what you mean. And the internet is really a place for feeling more open and less anxious -- like you can float in water when you can't on dry land.

Being shy, or introverted, is natural for you. You can always practice being more outgoing (I bet you're more outgoing with your good friends), or put yourself in situations where you're a little more comfortable.

I don't think it gets worse with age. You're not getting stuck in your ways. :)

I hope this made some sense.

That is very true. You seem very much the extrovert with your family, though. Very much the outgoing leader.

@StrictSouthernHOH I never would have believed that.
