Get over my crippling shyness (read all 5 entries…)

Worth doing!

Untitled  — 1 year ago

I’ve been here nearly a month and I haven’t made one friend. I’ve had plenty of oppurtunities (being invited places) but my shyness gets in the way. Sometimes I think I even give off the impression I dislike people. I don’t know what to do.

Flirt is not as sneaky or cheeky as Joyjoei!

How's this going, Steph?

Have you had a chance to go out and do something with anyone and take a first step with this?

Lousy

Auuuuuuugh! What the heck is wrong with me. I used to hang out on the roof of my buildiing because its quite and pretty up there. Lately people have been hanging out up there all the time. So I stopped going up there because I felt like a party crasher or something. Then I said to myself, Hey, I pay rent too. This is silly. I’m going up there. So I sit up there and mind my own business, think or whatever and let them do their thing. Tonight an odd thing happend. One of the guys invited me to join the group. I said, “Oh, I’m fine and here.” Afterwards I was so uncomfortble I could barely think straight. About five minutes later I left. That was so rude of me.

Why is it that I can pick up and move cross country to Seattle, sight unseen, with no job and no connections like its nothing but the idea of saying hello to a couple of strangers fills me with absolute terror?

I know it’s hard for you to see, but you really have come so far. Even going back up there on the roof after there were a lot of other people - ALL strangers - was a giant step.

So what if you didn’t win Ms. Congeniality tonight—I heard the prizes were crap, anyway. Tonight’s over, so just focus on what you might want to do next. Are you saying hello and smiling to people you pass in the hall, etc. That might be a good place to start, especially if you want to erase any idea they might have gotten that you are (in your word) “rude”.

P.S. Would it help to remind you that lots of people are shy, including ME!!!

Thank you. I feel a little better now. That’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’ll start saying hello to people instead of walking past them like there lamp posts.

NO, NO!!!

Definitely not, as my award was “Miss Congeniality of 43things” and Stephanie’s (possible) award was just plain ol’ “Ms. Congeniality of her temporary apartment building in Seattle”—there is QUITE a difference!!!

My prizes were worth their weight in gold!!!

Here in downtown

it’s not bad at all. That’s why I was so surprised when I stepped off the bus in North Seattle onto a giant slab of ice. I was walking on ice for like 10 minutes on my way to the interview.

How is the ice in your area?
