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.

Waiting too long?

Beaumont

One of the very real dangers (yes, dangers!) of being shy is waiting too long to act when we know what we could or should do - is this timidness (not the same as cowardice by any means) a problem for anyone else? How do we keep in mind that there are rewards in just trying to do something?

Yes, I know what you are saying.. I had a chance today to flirt my heart out.. had a cute guy sitting right next to me for a half hour, and I was too nervous, and afraid that I was going to blow it with him that I probably did anyway.

I can't tell you how many opportunities I've let slip by me. I hate myself for all of them.

I recently watched "The Secret." The law of attraction. There was a part in there that said when you want to do something, don't hesitate, just do it. But how?! How can I just put all of the years of anxiety aside and go for it? It's not as easy as they make it sound.

I've probably ruined my career because I let things go.

Yes, I too see many missed opportunities I regret, and realize shyness is a big part of it. I feel like when I do take action with good intentions, God meets me more than halfway to help me accomplish something.

    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...
