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.
If you wrote a book on shyness, what would you like other people to know about your shyness?
Part of my shyness comes from never having had a place in this world where I have felt safe from abuse, antagonism, bullying, and other forms of mistreatment.
I wonder what it would be like to feel safe to take small risks, such as saying hello to strangers. I wonder what it would be like to feel welcome, accepted, to belong. Will I ever be good enough?
We can never have complete safety in life, but I wonder what it would be like to feel a little safe for a short period of time. Can anyone tell me?
This discussion posting really isn't about me, though. It's an open invitation to you.
Pretend for a moment that you are writing a book about your shyness. What would you like other people to know?

It would not be just about shyness but aceptance as well. You see my shyness mostly comes from the fact that I have a birth dafect that makes me different. It also comesfrom the fact I have several learning disabilities. I want people to understnad first the chair is not me ( of me but not the whole me) sand the learning disabilities are part of me too but not me either. I would also interview other shy people and write there stories
