Do you find yourself in situations where you shouldn't be shy, but you are?
When?
Why?

Quite often. I'm actually a pretty shy person...but, I do try to get over it.

You would think at my age, the answer would be no.
But every once in a while,
if I'm in the presence of a woman with a pretty face & a beautiful soul to match her smile,
& I've got no pants on,
I find myself blushing a bit.

yeah...

I'm totally shy. People who know me often forget, though. Co-workers laughed at me when I told them I was shy. But that's work. That's not the real world.

When it comes to social settings I'm pretty unshy. But dating, I become retarded

If you come to melbourne I think I will give you a huge as soon as I see you even though I am a bit shy! You don't know how fast my heart was beating as I was dialling your number! I called you partly to overcome my shyness, I knew it would be fun to talk to you and I would kick myself if I didn't do it.

in the wrong spot! sorry to get you all
you sound exactly how I imagined actually! NOT a dork

Yes, I'm shy posting on this thread too. j/k I get really really shy around people I have crushes. When I am in big groups I tend to get pretty quiet too. When I was little, I would hide behind my mom's leg. Once in elementary school, my mom made sure I had a teacher that would help bring me out of my shell. She helped a little, but I still tend to get shy now and then.

is your birthday March 19th or do you just like the song?

Oh yeah, all the damn time, and I HATE it! I'm working on trying to change it though, since shy people get walked all over (in my opinion).

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

LOL, I just like the song. When I would listen to it w/ friends, I would be all, "Shhh!!!! This mah jam!" Plus it was good to me back then when I was dancing in school. It gave me some of those pump me up vibes.

all the time. anytime i have to be myself around people i dont know.

drives me nuts

i'm shy when its groups of people i'm just meeting. but once i get to know everybody and like you, then i will start to open up.

I'm a Cancer by nature and it take me awhile to feel a comfort zone around peeps, but once I do, you would never think me shy.

brownsugar said:

exactly... me too. sometimes i can fake bravery, but for the most part i mumble softly and avoid eye contact and cent think of anything to say.

Im a cancer too!

When it comes to meeting orgers, I'm too excited to be shy I feel such a kinship with everyone that nervousness rarely enters the picture

When I'm forced to be onstage, I do rather well. But if left completely up to me, I'd probably not have interacted with any other humans since about 1996.

In response to original post:

never

around ugly people




jk


uhh sometimes

I'm way too shy. There are times I'll go out of my way to avoid interacting with people. I would make a good hermit,as long as I have my pets, some books and music.

i'm a virgo


i hear virgos are bitches



thats so great.

I've been extremely, painfully shy my entire life. I've never outgrown it and it's why I'm basically such a loner.

There have been times in my life where the shyness was so overwhelming, the idea of meeting new people or being in new situations with strangers made me physically ill.

I've tried to just "get over it" and be more outgoing and extroverted, but have never been successful.
