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 am scared to death of life. I have no idea how I've made it 41 years. I white knuckle everything once I leave the comfort of my home and I feel anxious and scared to look and sound so stupid.
I just started a new job and I want to quit. I'm scared to death of looking like an idiot. I have to sell reverse mortgages on the phone and I fear people hearing me on the phone. Yesterday I called and told them I was working from home, which I did, but I told myself it was because of the fight I had with my boys, but primarily it was an excuse to make some calls from home so no one could hear me.
I don't make new friends easily at all. I don't know much about anything and can't make small talk let alone talk intelligently about other bigger things.
Today I feel so anxious and panicky. I have such a terrible memory and can't even make change. Simplke math scares me to death. I just feel so stupid.
I'm good at keeping my house clean and getting dinner for everyone, but other than that I feel completely stupid. I have missed out on so much in life because I'm just afraid of looking like an idiot. I fake my confidence and fake most of my life. I wish I was a confident person who could talk and be liked by people.
Sorry to just blabber on... I'm having a really bad day and it will take everything in me to go to work later. :(

Have you tried any kind of therapy? Therapy has helped me a lot, especially exposure therapy, although it's quite painful at times. Try to realize that not everyone is listening or looking over your shoulder all the time.
I've put myself down before, like saying I'm only good for being a wife and a good cook. But there's more than that. We're in 2007 and we're allowed to have a career and be happy in other areas, I hope you can find more confidence :)
