I Am Shy

In some ways, I still am shy. I do my best to speak up when necessary. As I'm getting older, I am realizing more and more that being shy is a waste of time. My mind is screaming and it is increasingly difficult to not speak. This isn't the person I want to be. This is something I've never liked about myself. I would love to be able to have complete confidence and just have a conversation... Especially, if I'm really attracted to this person.

I'm a bit of a loner and I don't have many friends. I do what I can to keep myself entertained. I don't rely on others for my entertainment. I spend lots of time observing the world quietly. I don't go out much because I'm not always comfortable around strangers and I like being by myself. Even being around people that I do know, I am still awfully quiet sometimes.

The person you see on this site isn't a loner. This person is more social than he's ever been. This site is my outlet to the world. There are a few people on here that I enjoy talking to. Not many people seem to know the real me and there is a few of you learning quite a lot about me. If you are one of them, then you are special. Not many people know what I'm really like.

A few people on here seem to be surprised whenever I tell them about my shyness. Believe it or not, I was voted the shyest boy in sixth grade. I didn't care for it. I was very self conscious about it and I didn't want the whole world to know. Today is a new day and now you know. I am no longer hiding under my shell.

If you're a shy person then I challenge you today, start being comfortable with who you are. Start thinking about who do you want to be and become that person. Think about the new and improved you and take small steps everyday to approach your goal. I am still striving to be that person.

Adhane - nor should you care what anyone else thinks of you. You are the only one who knows you the best and some of your loved ones will know you close enough.

My shyness comes off more as I get closer to a person. Quite crazy right? I am a walking contradiction in many ways, lol. The anonymous aspect is only on sites like this, I can't go walking around anonymous in real life. Imagine walking in a bank, the manager asks me my full name and I tell him I won't give it to him because I want to be anonymous. 馃槀

Lovely post. I bet it took a bit of courage to expose your deeper feelings here.

Can you believe I have some shyness in me? I am a very confident person but I am also shy. So shyness is not necessarily an indicator of low confidence.

I am sure you can work towards however you wish to be.

They might suspect you're there to rob the bank and then could go to jail. Don't go to jail, Aido. Big Bubba is in there and he is one scary dude!!! 馃槀

I hope Shane isn't in the same cell as him. We used to be good friends until we lost touch.

Just a random thought crossed my mind, lol.

Wahahahahah! Gah Adhane! It is just the thought of Big Bubba that makes me stick on the right side of law. 馃槀

LOL. I dont even know what to say, but I also hope Shane isnt with Big Bubba the scare monster! :P

Thank you, Aido. It wasn't easy to admit to admit at first. I don't care so much if anyone has negative thoughts about me now. I am who I am and that is how it will always be.

To me, you seem like you enjoy being more anonymous than to say who you are. You don't seem shy to me, but then again I don't know you that well. You're bit of a mystery to me and it is intriguing in it's own way.
