About Me
Married mother of 3. Shy and introverted. Not working at the moment. Banker before having children. Love reading, especially the classics. Love classical music and regular exercise. Love different cultures, new challenges and new environements. Regular volunteer at charity events. Vegetarian, but buy meat for family. Hate: being shy and isolation. Need: real friends who understand when I just need to be quiet.

Hug
well, i had a seizure or something the other day, and ever since then, the world doesn't seem quite real or something--it's hard to explain. i just sort of feel like i am not really real or that i am not really living...everything feels fake. that's why it's just kind of hard right now... thank you for the hug. i really appreciate it (and i sorta really needed it too).
Thanks
I appreciate, so much, the fact you remembered my birthday. Thank you for the well wishes....it was a great birthday. Love and Hugs to you E. Barb-Detroit

Close Shyness
I am a 45 old woman and I have been shy since childhood. I find the feeling of isolation that comes with being shy and introverted unbearable,and I am doing what I can to break free. My 12 years old son is devoted to me and has become shy; probably by seeing me shy away from good people as if they were bad. Would like to be stronger so as to be able to teach him that there is nothing to fear and that it is okay to be who you are, and that we all need friends.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Have had expensive one to one talk therapy, and it has been mainly a waste of money. If there is one lesson that I leaned from here is: It is easier to talk to people if you first teach yourself how to relax. People will seem less hostile that way.
- Self-esteem Somewhat Helpful
- see self-help
- Self-help Somewhat Helpful
- Have tried several books on shyness, self esteem, conversation skills etc and found that they give very good advice. It can take a lot of courage sometimes to put that advice into practice; but it can truly work wonders.
- Socializing Somewhat Helpful
- Push myself to be polite and start a conversation with people when I tell myself that "today is the day"; when it works it feels like having a taste of what real life should be, sweet and joyful, it makes me feel valued and one of the crowd. When it doesn't work and people turn away from me because I sound too nervous/unnatural; it feels like having entered a black tunnel and I cannot find the exit. Overall the good times outweigh the bad. Yet the bad times make it harder to try again next time.
