- Most of us in the dailystrength.org shyness community seem to be separated by far distances. I've seen postings from folks in the U.K., Canada, all over the U.S., and all over the world. I would like to know if anyone has met anyone else online...
- Hi there! Whatever the goal you're pursuing, stay strong! Stay in school and study hard every day! Exercise every day! Keep saving! Keep showing up at your job and besting your previous performance! Raise your children properly! Continue attending...
- An affirmation is a saying that can be memorized and so make its way into our thoughts, where it can change our thinking in a positive way. When we change our thinking, we can change our actions; when we change our actions, we can change our lives -...
- As I try to go about my daily activities in what seems like America's least friendly city, I am reminded of a parable I once read, a parable that seems to explain so much of what I see around me, and even, perhaps, why I am shy when I believe I...
- Hello there! Funny isn't it, or actually not, that life can play unfair and cruel tricks on us? As a child, I was not allowed to play by myself or with anyone else, so I did not develop the motor skills others take for granted. When I finally...
- Let's say you're shy. But you're less shy than someone else you've noticed. Can you give that person a hand, or just a big "Hello!"? If we can add more shy people to this community, we could each very well locate someone locally (in your town) and...

- I am an survivor of child abuse, and I would like to know if there are any others who have gone through the same or similar experience. I remember once when I was in the third grade in school, and I brought home a spelling test with a big red...
- Hi, everybody! I suspect that many people who are shy were abused during their childhood and teen years, and some even continue to be abused as s. Abuse can take many forms: verbal, emotional, physical, ual, neglect,...I myself endured a...
- I have been going through the entire shyness community membership and also the discussions postings to locate members who have not visited dailystrength.com recently, to send them messages of encouragement to visit this website again. The more of us...
- I know this is completely off-topic, but I wonder how people choose their user names. I chose "Beaumont" because it was the stage name used by Hugh Beaumont (not his real name), the actor who played the father character in the "Leave It To Beaver"...
- 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...
- I just thought I'd post this information for anyone who would like to know: The website meetup.com has listings of support groups and meetings on a variety of issues, including shyness support groups. If you can find one in your local area, good for...
- I am interested in joining or starting a way for shy folks like us to get to know and help each other in our common condition of shyness, or social awkwardness. So far, I have only the following ideas: a shy individual could be matched with another...
