Not be so shy

I don’t understand why I get so nervous and antsy around other people.

Yes, I’m self conscious,but this whole shy business is getting annoying and tedious. I can’t concentrate in class because I’m too fucking shy to talk to anyone. And when a teacher says “partner up with someone” I want to run to the bathroom for the remainder of the class and stay there. It’s that bad, yes.

Honestly, I have no idea on how I will ever complete this. I am a nervous wreck around other people. And I’m not even a perfectionist.
Especially with presentations. Don’t even get me started. Ohhhh no.
I’ll try, but I’m not making any promises that I can’t keep.

i am really shy and not very confident. my roommate has convinced me that there is no reason to feel that way.

recently i crushed on a guy but i didn’t have the nerve to approach him. i found a loop hole and gave the guy my email and he approached me. it didn’t work out but if i hadn’t been so shy i would of known that a long time ago.

been shy since i was a kid.

I blame my upbringing and possibly somewhat my genes.

In any case I’m determined to get over it.

I have done well and am much better at talking to new people – my biggest issue was with awkward silences. But I have improved way beyond expectations :)

I’m not shy at all when I’m just hanging out with my best friends, but around new people I can be extremely shy and I don’t talk very much its hard for me to just talk to a new person.

i decided that this school year i was going to be confident and outgoing.

i got my braces off and changed my hairstyle up a bit.
i felt confident about my appearance and so i felt that it was easier for me to be comfortable coming out of my shell.

i’ve actually made new friends, and people talk to me more.
i’m glad i did it.

because confidence is important!

i’m not shy with my friends or outside of school but when i get in school and stuff and i’m with people i don’t really know i get all shy and get embarrassed a lot. it’s so annoying and i’m not really sure what to do.

...I’m naturally shy, so it will take a long time to get out of being shy…and my parents keep trying to force me to do things that are more social, and put me in the spotlight, but it doesn’t help at all. It makes it worse.

{what’s bad is in class…when I speak in front of people, I shake really bad and feel nauseous. Which sucks.}

I’m really hyper and talkative, however, when I’m around people I know, or speaking to a group that I know really well. That’s as far as it goes. {and, well, I’m content staying as I am, but being less shy would really help}
