I am not shy around my best friendson and off the phone!!

I can relate to being shy and I can't seem to keep the intrest of an outgoing person.

Its hard being shy............ coz people can't really see what we're like inside coz we're not chatty like some people!! My little sister is really out going and confident- always the centre of attention and its hard to deal with sometimes. But everyone is different- its not that bad being shy. Just makes us more special! And people out there who are really worth knowing and like you will accept who you are and spend time getting to know you! Don't panick! No one will reject you or look over you iff you carry on being nice :)

I can relate to that...

I have got a quiet voice...There was a time when that stopped me from bothering to talk...cos no one could hear me...Well that is what I thought anyway...

One thing which really annoys me is...When I am talking...& the person is looking at me blankly...I know full well that they did not hear me...but they can not be bothered to say..."Pardon?"...Or "Sorry...can you say that again?"...

I have now taught myself to talk louder & clearer...

I know how you feel. I am quiet and my older brother is very loud. It was hard growing up in his shadow. I was very lucky to meet and marry my husband, but he is a talker too and if it wasn't for him, i wouldn't meet people and socialize at all. I just feel invisible when I do get the nerve and speak up.
