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.
I used to be pretty shy, unless around close friends, etc. I have been getting better over the years, especially after certain events in my life that have made me realize life is too short and I don't want to waste what time i do have. BUT, I've had this problem for years...well since I started drinkng, but the last year or two its been bad. When I go out drinking, the next day I feel so embaressed, like I made a fool out of myself, shared too much about myself. .. etc. I am a pretty private person, quiet others would say, so when i come out of my shell a bit due to alcohol I dwell the next day over EVERYTHING i said and did. And its usually not a big deal to anyone else, just me.
Is this normal? Anyone else have this problem?
I had some drinks with some relatives my age friday, shared a lot of personal info, now I feel stupid and almost borderline schitzo or something...
maybe its the alcohol? not sure...

Years ago my husband and I went for a drink with his brother and wife and I had a little too much to drink and I knew I was drinking too much too but it was all for a bit of courage. I got drunk and was someone they had never ever seen before. I must have felt at ease for once. They have never seen me like it ever again and I am just as shy twenty years later than I was when I first met them. I once thought if I started drinking it would give me courage to be who I want to be but it didnt work. I'm just shy with everyone and pretty well peed off by it.

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...
