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 know where you're coming from, but it's ok to be shy! I've turned red many times in front of men and it doesn't get too much easier, but it's a great way for him to know that you like him ;) Even if it's painful. You're not messing up at all, you just have a hard time talking to someone you really like, so go easy on yourself! Does he know you like him?

the same thing would happen to me, well still does sometimes. when you start getting nervous, try to think of him as a chick friend and relax. dont overthink what he is doing, it will make you more nervous. whats the worst that could happen?

he might be just as shy as you.. I use to have the same sort of problem as you so I have always been with aggressive women who are outgoing. I guess it provides a balance

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
