Shyness

I wish I could find more people who embraced their shyness. It’s such a lovely quality!

I used to be shy – not now – i just dont care now

I'm somewhat shy…depends on the situation

I wish I wasn't so shy.

I’m glad there are other people who find shyness attractive!

Outgoing people are really annoying!

I guess i used to be attractive and am now annoying but i used to find shyness painful esspecially when talking to girls

I think the older I get the less shy I become. When I was younger I used to be terrified of new people. Now its just a slightly less feeling of anxiety.

Doesn't it suck how people assume you are "stuck up" because you don't talk much. I was always accused of it. It wasn't the case at all, I was just shy as heck.

i'm like wow really shy, sometimes

i'm so shy.  i'm working on overcoming it now.  but i never thought of embracing it.

heehee, I think its funny that shyness is the biggest pic on the collage ;)

yeah it happens when stuff gets lots of attention

ya i know, but I think its funny that shy people are getting the attention :)

I am so shy biased. Being shy, to me, means you’re careful and thoughtful. I really hate that society paints being introverted as being negative. It makes a lot of people with good qualities want to change themselves to conform. And I don’t think anyone can really be happy if they’ve conformed to be something they’re not just to fit in.

oh wasnt shyness beeing quiet because people are afraid to get noticed or something?

^ It can be. Me, I don’t really give a shit what others think of me, but I’m still shy because I’m a natural introvert and can only express myself well around those I trust. Being shy doesn’t mean you have to look down on yourself. It just means you’re not social for some reason. I don’t think anyone who’s more introverted naturally should look down on themselves or try to change. But if you feel like you are a social person, but are afraid to be, that would be different. But I can’t really relate to that.

I used to be super shy, and now I'm just shy sometimes. Like when I went to the club on Friday and I thought the go-go dancer was hott, my friend told me to give her a dollar, but I was too shy. Then my friend Alfredo said something to her, and she came over to me and kissed me and whispered in my ear "You're cute, don't be shy." My face turned so red. But she likes me, so yay!

AJMcFly – I like your way of thinking, sir.

^ Then we should probably be friends then, eh? * sends friend request * :)

Thats very forward for a shy person

Saddam – this is the internet, it's a lot easier for people to be that way.

It is much easier to talk and be frank and learn about people by typing instead of talking – i recon there are people online that i know more about then some that i see for real all the time.

Absolutely, when theres the protection of the computer screen and an online alias to hide behind inhibitions can easily be forgotten.

yer ….. fancy a shag

Haha, I'll pass, maybe another time! :P

Thought i might catch you off guard hehe

I’m much braver even on the internet than I used to be. I used to be afraid to post my picture, but now look! < That’s me over there!

I think the internet allows you to be more yourself without having to worry about small talk and all that crap! But I also don’t want to hide myself or anything, since I want to be liked for who I am.

i'm too shy

this guy told me i was annoying because i was too boring (but i am just too shy)

.....

*hides in a corner*

huh? im confused

In that case, xllamagurlx, the guy’s just a superficial dick and you shouldn’t want anything to do with him anyway. Fuck him.

wow, ya see its kinda more complicated than that

he's my first love...told ya its complicated

^ Why??? Did he used to like you?

Haha, I want to ask twenty questions now, because I enjoy, like, counselling through this stuff with people, but I’ll leave it at that. ;) If you feel like talking about it with me, xllamagurlx, send me a friendy thingie. I lurve giving advice and figuring out this sort of stuff! lol!

Love sucks.

like i said its pretty complicated.

i love him because i felt it from the start, a felling in my heart that no other guy gives me. when he looks into my eyes i melt, and nothing he says can change the way i feel. he is everything i pictured in my first love, everything- georgeous eyes, sweet, plays guitar, in a band, great--no excellent--poet, draws amazing, smells wonderful, wears skinny jeans, likes the same music...everything. i even can feel when he is in the room or passes by me. i love him =]

^ Hm, I guess I can’t really relate. Love for me comes out of emotional connection with someone, not what they can do or how they dress or my ideal perception of “the one.” Also, he doesn’t sound sweet! He sounds like a superficial jerkoff!

Love can be blind

^ Yeah, but I still don’t get loving someone without some sort of mental/emotional connection! I guess somehow you can know someone very well and love them for who they are, but they not love you for who you are though. But it’s hard to get that close to someone who doesn’t care for you, isn’t it?

Maybe you're just mistaking that for love…

did i not say that i felt something for him from the start etc...

he went off at me because he was having a bad day...he regrets all of what he said

i dont care if you dont believe i love him, i feel how he makes me feel, one glance and my entire day turns wonderful and amazing. i love him and nothing can change that

Shrugs

what is that supposed to mean, you still dont believe me?

It means I don't really care.

Either way, I wish you all the best with the guy. 

ummm thanx i guess

Are you friends then? Sorry, it just seemed like you were saying you didn’t really know him before. I think it’s possible to love someone who you are friends with, and be in love with them if you feel some sort of intimate connection. But I don’t think you can fall in love with someone just because they fit your ideal partner that you’ve created in your mind, you know? There has to be a bit more than that. But if you two are close, maybe there is. I’m not trying to insinuate that there isn’t, as I don’t know all the details.

we are'nt very close

but like i said-its complicated

but the fact that he fits the "superficial" parts that i like in guys is just a bonus

i would feel the same for him if he fit none of them

Ah, then how do you know him so well if you aren’t close? I’m not saying you don’t know him, but isn’t it hard to find out someone’s true character and stuff without being close to them?

ahhh its hard to explain, but trust me i love him

we have a very complicated relationship

i kno him very well but then at the same time i dont

i dont kno how to explain it but we just have this deep connection...

If you have a deep connection, then why doesn’t he feel the same way? Because you’re more quiet? And … even if you are more shy, don’t you feel comfortable enough around him to express yourself a little better?

I can’t really judge, as I have a very deep connection with someone who says she doesn’t “feel that way” about me. Humph!
