I'm Actually Quite Shy

One does what one must to survive...

I know what you mean. When I was your age, I was so cripplingly shy that I know I came across as rude. Over time, I've learned that you have to stop caring what other people think of you and just be honest, while also being respectful.

The shyness I experience makes me have difficulty in expressing myself until I'm comfortable. And I think a lot of people don't like the guarded personality types that are quite unlike an open door.

They struggle with the knocking to enter, at an appropriate time, when the owner is home to answer etc...

A lot of the world is like that they believe if you have your curtains undrawn and they get a glimpse inside your house that it's an open invitation, which is hardly the case.

And when the slightest bit of unwelcoming takes place the first thing they do is become crass about it. I would hardly say it's your fault in this case.

Just keep moving forward and be the best you that you can be.

Who cares what they think. You be you

Its very difficult to open up to people, I was very shy when I was young but took a chance and opened up to people and it worked. As for being hurt I don’t know the circumstances so won’t comment, but one day give yourself a chance, you may be surprised 🤗

i am the same way
