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.
Just wondered if anyone else experiences this: When I get really anxious or stressed (for whatever reason), I find myself withdrawing. Eventually I get to the point where I'm afraid even to post on this board. I had pushed myself by making a vow to post regularly (usually in another group) but recently I came under heavy stress. I didn't realize it at first, but it hit me suddenly and for a week I was too scared even to read the discussions, much less post or answer messages or hugs.
Anyway, I'm back, at least today. Thanks to all of you for being there, for me and for each other.

I often worry I'm breaking some rule of DailyStrengths by not being on every day! I intend to but then I get stressed or feel too scared or too worthless to post anything and put it off until I realize I haven't checked in for quite awhile! I make myself come online to see what's going on in the different communities I'm in so that I'm not burdening the few people I know IRL and burning them out!
