TruLibra is starting from scratch; but still trying
I have had a lot of time to think about my personality. I don’t think of my shyness as a problem anymore. It actually helps rather than hurts. I can go out by myself and interact with people if I choose to do so. I tell people that I am shy and they don’t believe me because I can be very outgoing at times. So I think I can take this one off the list.

I have this book I got years and years ago, which I was too lazy to do really, but it might work, it’s based on pushing yourself a little bit each week, or however long you need, just asking strangers the time or something mundane like that, so you see that there’s no need to be scared of talking to people. Positive reinforcement I think it’s called. The first step is looking good so you feel good about yourself, so Im just working on that for now, but I’ve got a long way to go on that cause I hate the way I look…

I am leaving for college soon, and I have completely overcome insecurities about my body and how I look. I now feel completely confident about myself, but that hasn’t changed my shyness. I’m hoping that once I leave the school I’ve been at for almost 7 years I will begin to open up to new people. Perhaps it has just been the fact that I met the majority of these people during the first week of sixth grade and things have been set since then. Wish me luck.

I getting worse. it seems the harder i try to overcome my shyness the more shy i get. today in science i had about 4 questions that i really wanted to know the answer to but i was to afraid to ask. I waited till i got home to find the answer online. If i would have just asked to question in school i would have gotten points for participation and i would have known the answer sooner.

I am usually only shy in my classes. i keep reminding myself that there people in my classes that if i don’t care about them they won’t care about me and they won’t judge me by what i say in class

Hey,
I live in New Jersey and I’m try to get the book “Don’t Call Me Shy”. But the only thing is that supposevly is is a text book. And before I buy a book I’d like to take a peak at it. So that excludes buying it online. So I’m wondering if anyone know were I can get it?

I’ve been shy since I was small. I can’t remember ever NOT being afraid to be around people. I had four friends my whole life until two years ago, my sophmore year in highschool. At the end of that year, I knew something had to change. Last year, I made a lot of knew friends. But this year, I’m backsliding, reverting back to everything I never wanted to be again. I feel like the “weird kid”, I constantly worry that people see me as weird. I go back and forth between feeling that I am really a “weird kid” and that I’m normal. And at the same time, I don’t know what’s so bad about being weird. But after knowing what it feels like to move past my shyness, reverting back to it now is killing me. I feel constantly depressed and on the verge of tears. On top of this, I am going to start school in Africa in January, and…. I’m so worried that I’m going to fail there, that I won’t make friends, that I’ll be totally alone.
I don’t know what to do, or how to fix myself, but I guess I have no choice but to just keep fighting myself for control of my life, until one day I win.

I’ve been shy my whole life. i first started to attempt to overcome shyness about to weeks ago. i did some reasearch and it kinda helped. i am beggining to make eye contact with people i am sort of close to ( thats a major improvement for me). i don’t talk at all in class untill like the end of year when i am comfortable in a class( it takes me a really long time to adjust). this is really anoying because shyness effects my grades making it impossible for me to do my best. i acheived my first goal of making eye contact with people but i don’t no what other steps i take.
