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 want to know the shy statement that personally make you want to leave a situation or shuts you down. Repeating is fine and there are many, but which one bother you the most when said to you or your kids, etc...
Antisocial. Once that word is said to me in a social situation I am done with my conversation with that person or group. I can deal with the other statements, even though I feel I am constantly defending myself.

I am a rape survivor. The abuse stopped in 2010. But here recently I have found that the reprocussions have started now. I have a chance with my significant other for a real future and I am struggling. I don't feel like I am worth more than I am now. And I don't want to continue the pattern

are you watching Sunday evening ~ into the later half of the night?! Have you seen any of the Nominated Movies? Will you be cheering for any one Actor in particular?Will you be looking for a movie story-line, stars, director, etc. to see after the Oscars? How about the Red Carpet hoopla?I have popcorn on-hand, but I'm not sure if I'll watch all of it. There are too many other very good things on...
"stuck-up"...
"too good for everyone else"...
i don't really see where these people get these. just because we're quiet doesn't mean we're stuck up or act/feel like we're better than everyone else...
hurts my feelings...and confirms my belief that they really don't know me...
One person said that when they first met me they thought i was snobby and standoffish, but realises there is a genuine shyness. that really hurt because im actually very down to earth and friendly, just in a quiet way!
Actually I am not any of those. Just a shy person who has difficulty talking with people I am not familiar with. I still put my pants on one leg at a time, scrub the toilet, do the dishes, and do laundry...not much different than anyone else who is outgoing!
because most of the time,
when someone points out that im "being shy",
im not--i just dont want to talk to them.
like, i am shy, i dont deny that,
but the people who point it out are usually the ones i wouldnt want to talk to even if i wasnt.
Oh he's just quiet
I've been forced into big social situations that I did not feel comfortable in yet people who know me well expects me to just open up to everyone.
What the hell do you want me to say in response to that?
It's like going up to someone and saying "You have brown hair". And??? Did you have anything further to add or are you just stating the obvious!?
But I had to keep going, keep trying, and not let words mold me or control me.
I know some people think that I'm rude or unfriendly and I hate that... I hate when people tell me I'm quiet! I really try not to be.
i hate it when they say it, it lowers my self esteem and what gives them the right to say that to me? they haven't experienced it. they make it sound so easy when its not.
I am also always worried people think I'm stuck up or snobby, thats the last impression I want to make with people. I am really nice and friendly but it takes me a while to get close to people.
The statement I have always disliked is " It is always the quite ones..."
This statement is usally in referance to outragous or harmful behaviors.
I used to get very annoyed with teachers who described my daughter as withdrawn...I used to point out that my daughter is not depressed or being abused...
Recently someone accused me of being a "Timid lill mouse" My friend defended me by saying..."Well you don't know Karen"...
Some times I would like to be as rude as these people are...but I am not a rude ignorant person...so I choose to ignore them...
