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.

Since I was little I have been taught not to interuppt, not to bother people, and stay out of the way. It is really ahrd now, I feel sick when I have to put myself out there to speak up for myslf, or even talk in class. I am convinced no one wants to hear me anyway. I am trying to work on this. I cant be scared to take up space. I am a person, and I need to act like it.

Good for you. We shy people have always deserved to be heard. You have to remember what you have to say is worth saying and worth hearing. I am convinced the shy people are often the ones who have the best things and the most enlightening things to say. I deal with this almost everyday like you do. I avoid groups where I don't know people because I just don't know at times what to say or when to say it.
Remember your self worth is important. Do what you can and when you can to slowly get the confidence to move forward with this.

I completely understand what you're going through because I am exactly the same way. It's so hard to do things that any person should be able to do without any problems. If you ever need someone to talk to just message me.
