Be less shy

I really suck at this. I guess we’ll see where this goes.

I was very shy since i was young and now i am more less shy.
I did not go to the best junior high and high school and for what i remember they are bunch of bullies in my school. I learned from friends not to let go of my past and be more confident and i love myself yes, it is important people have to learned to love themselves
and it will help to let your shyness much better.

ugh. back to this again. i need to work on this!
though, i think it may not be shyness that i need to avoid.
i am just not very forward.
in the least bit..

hmm.. some signals would be nice though.
i dont want to be made a fool.

It sucks that I’m not shy when I’m drunk. lol _
I guess if there’s one thing I can say for myself it’s that I talk to more people then I have before. I’m not quiet in a group anymore. I still can’t randomly walk up to strangers without substances in me. Kinda sad really, but at least I’m alot better then I was many moons ago.

i was always pretty shy as a youngster, but I think that most kids are. i just wanted to be left alone by people. and when they would try to entertain me or such, i’d get very distressed.

these days, i’m pretty much the same. i hoped i’d grow out of that phase, but it seems like old habits die hard, or something. well, recently, i started getting help for it. i see a therapist every week who encourages me to tell her about my problems.

next week when i see her, i’m going to be completing a task that she’s set me. we’ll be going to a cafe and i have to order drinks for us both. while many people think it’s easy to do that, for me it’s incredibly hard. i hate even speaking in public, because…. well, i don’t quite know. i guess it’s because i don’t like being noticed; i just like to fade into the background. and so when i have to ‘put myself out there,’ i start to panic.

i’m really not looking forward to next week, but i also know that unless i at least try to do it, i’ll be stuck in this rut for years to come. onwards and upwards, right?

woohoo! let’s go! :D

This is a toughie.
Especially when all I want to do is leave college & go home.
I don’t like it here & withdraw myself from so many opportunities to be social.
The thing is, I like being a loner.
I am a very introverted person.
I wish I was more social…but then again, I don’t.

lately i have been very quiet. especially when in groups.
and it gets quite awkward.

they say something, like, ‘why so quiet?” and just stuff like that, and i honestly just have nothing to say.
i am more of an observer than a talking when around people i dont know, especially in groups of 3 or more.
but its much harder to explain than one may think.

so i will keep trying.
but i have been doing better than i use to be.

i think this whole loneliness phase has put me back a few steps…

I’m really shy around people i don’t know that well, i can’t help it. i absolutly hate it! but i always find myself stuck on what to say, or i’ll say something but (me and my quiet voice) sometimes i feel like people don’t pay attention. anyways.. Any suggestions on what i can talk about with people i don’t know that well, like ice breakers or something? Or on any ways that can bring me out of my shell? please and thanks! ^-

for me is going to be college.That’s where I shall prove to myself that I’m not that shy anymore and that I’m less self conscious.
It’s really a great way to meet new people and make some new friends,since everyone is new there and nobody knows nobody,so there’s a more friendly atmosphere because everybody wants to get along with each other and make friends.
But I believe that for me,the real challenge is not talking to complete strangers,but finding people with who I can communicate and be my true self.
See,I’m a rock chick I may say,and I find it absolutely impossible to really bond and communicate with somebody who,for instance, listens to rap,pop or r’n’b music.It’s just that we share different views and opinions.
Yep,because I trully believe that the genre or whatever you want to call it of music one likes to listen to,makes a major difference of how one perceives the world around them.
For me,music taste makes a major difference.
But it’s not like I couldn’t get along with someone who listens to a different kind of music than me,but still has an amazing personality.Personality is definately number 1 priority,so perhaps I should be a little more open to the possibility of meeting people that may listen to different type of music,but still look at life kinda like I do…

I noticed i’m being less shy. I’m kinda happy now but I’m still not satisfied!
