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.
Does anyone else feel that when they speak they are either too shy or talk too much? I feel like I can't find a balance ever, and I'm deathly shy around ppl I don't know, and then I end up feeling awkward and I get very hard on myself. I'm not sure how to fix this....I moved to a new city and thought I could change, but I haven't been able to.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think a way to fix this is to consider the of person you're talking with. I say WITH because conversation is a two way street. What kind of person is the other person; are they a real talker or are they quiet, shy?
Another thing to take into account is what you're saying. Do you know what kind of details to leave in or out of a story? As I write this response, I'm also thinking about what I want to relate to you and which are the most important facts. Look at the way you wrote your post. Conversation is like that only it's done verbally. You have to be able to think in your head as you go along. I always do better on paper- thank goodness for the "back button!"
I have to work up my nerve to talk to new people. Itry to start with short conversations. If they look like they want something longer and I'm uncomfortable, I'll make an opportune excuse to cut 'n run. "Will you excuse me? I need to make a call before it gets too late."
