Shyness Support Group
Shyness is a feeling of insecurity that certain people experience while being among others, talking with others, asking favors of others, etc. The initial cause of shyness can vary. Scientists have located some genetic data that supports the hypothesis that shyness is at least partially genetic.
Hi all, i just joined this community & was interested to see how many ppl have been through the same crap as me!!
I always used to think there was something 'wrong with me', because i used to be so shy I couldn't even say 'hello' to someone (even if they initiated it). Both my parents were very shy.
i know i shouldn't, but I still feel some anger towards them for me having so many problems. But of course it wasn't anyone's fault!
I'm now 26, working in health care full time.
I still have lots of problems socially. i avoid social situations, & at times feel totally invisible which i HATE. But i am so much better than i used to be.
One thing that stands out from my childhood & still hurts... ppl used to ask me to do 'signs' instead of giving verbal responses, as if i couldn't talk!!!!! (like go to that tree if the answer's yes, and that other one if no). People can be so mean. i can't believe i put up with it.
Anyway great site & hope to meet some new ppl here... =)

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
When you do all the talking you only learn what you already know.

Y E A H... :D Well, it's good to laugh at the past, even if it was so terribly painful in the moment. I was extremely withdrawn, but I steered myself off that lonely path. I'm never going to be a super-friendly-uber-cute-bubbly-
overpowering-attention-grabbing-gal, but I like who I am :)
