Who else here is under the "shy" stereotype? I have 0 friends, I'm always a loner, any I just can't seem to feel worthy enough to spread my voice to the world. Anyone else feel this way? Yeah, this is the shy girls thread...

I've been becoming quieter recently. I guess it's because high school can be a bit intimidating... I used to be well known in middle school and everything (not part of the popular crowd, I just had a reputation as a good student and such). I always try to talk to shy people... I know it can be very hard to make conversation.
To cure shyness a little, find something you're passionate in... Performing, sports, etc. It's easier to make friends and take charge when you're involved with people who have the same interests as you.

Even though I've gone to the same school for 9 years and have been with the same people, I'm still known as shy and quiet. But I'm not anything like that around my friends. (which I have few..but we're close) And they know what the true me is like...I've gotten better about being louder though..so thats good. But...next year when I go to highschool...oofta will I be back to the girl who sits in the corner w/the book shoved up her nose.. *sigh*

I used to be like that, but I'm really growing out of it.

I am extremely shy - too much so for my own good, methinks. I don't talk all that often around school, you will almost always find me sitting alone at lunch, and I simply will never allow any sort of attention to be brought to myself. At home it's an entirely different story, but out in public I just seem to be one of those people that fades into the background.
I'd love to be able to talk easily in front of people. I'd love to be able to say exactly what's on my mind without having to dwell over what I am going to say or worry about how it will come off to others (which is something I find myself doing constantly). In many ways, I think it all relates back to self-consciousness. I am much too self-conscious for my own good, and it shows. Social Anxiety? Most likely.
I'm trying to change. I tell myself over and over again that I will get over these timid tendencies, but I really don't see it happening any time soon. Sigh. I'm working on it.

I'm extremely shy around people I don't know. But around my friends and family (that I live with. Around aunts and uncles and such I'm also pretty shy). My friends are a lot like me, so I know what I say won't sound stupid- if that makes any sense. Of course there are times when I think "That was stupid. Why did I say that?" But I think everyone does that.

I used to be SO shy. And though I have incredibly low self-esteem and no confidence, I've learned that I don't want my shyness to ever hold me back. And I've gotten over it. ;D
