shyness http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/ Instead of trying to think of things to say, ask people about stuff they're interested in, most people love to talk about themselves, I don't so I can kinda sympathize with you. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-298250 2009-07-04 05:56:06 I sometimes feel shy but it can help acting a bit crazy or eccentric just to help myself come out of my shell. Some people just don't like it or don't get it but they're normally the kind of people I wouldn't really like very much anyway. Some people don't like it at first but next time you meet them don't do whatever it was that annoyed them last time and you might find you can get along with them. I didn't get on with some of my best friends the first time I met them. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-296527 2009-06-22 18:22:33 Maybe you just haven't found a decent bunch of people or person that you can relate to. Try to be more open about things and listen to what they have to say. I'm like this too sometimes but too much alone time just isn't healthy. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-295463 2009-06-16 11:21:21 This is easy. Get high once when your around other people (at a party or something). If you don't like it, thats cool. But one things for damn sure, you won't be the quiet one that night. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-281312 2009-02-11 11:42:58 i used to be unbelievably shy!! just surround yourself with people who know you for who you are and your confidence will gradually build up. Also maybe try taking up a sport. sometimes it can really bring you out of your shell!! helps me alot. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-281273 2009-02-10 12:12:31 i think its normal. but its better if you can get along with people... you should attend workshops. lol i had the same problem before, im totally shy to start or involve myself into conversations, i attended a modelling workshop and i met a lot of people.. i gained my self confidence. :] and now, i work as a travel agent and yeah, i talk a lot. lol http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-277934 2009-01-01 15:09:40 i'v had that same problem every since i moved schools. i'm totaly fine with everyone i knew before the move its jst the new people. but its takes time and u need to find things u hav in common with these people. find some more things out about yourself too =D http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-277919 2009-01-01 14:09:17 That is absolutely normal in my opinion. There are times when I'm around people I don't know that well, and I just sorta stay in the background. But being shy is very normal. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-277702 2008-12-30 17:04:16 Same here, ^^ sometimes I say something and everyone just stares at me and the only thing you hear is silence....lol http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-277018 2008-12-23 02:03:42 I was never shy. I only get shy when I'm around people I don't know. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-274361 2008-11-21 18:15:25 same. Im very shy, sucks http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-273173 2008-11-12 08:50:34 Same here... im kind of glad im not the only one... http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-269634 2008-10-16 23:41:24 You hav to get people who hav common interests with u, then it is much easier to talk, and then move on to other topics. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-252624 2008-02-13 01:35:27 Don't get embarrassed ever when you think you said something wrong! Just laugh it off. Talk about anything you want, don't stick to the same old boring stuff like the weather, it's no good. http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-252592 2008-02-12 20:43:08 sounds like he is being himself he just sucks thats all http://isitnormal.com/story/shyness-23205/#comment-252516 2008-02-12 18:52:08 Who is yourdelf' I s he a fictional charactor or a spaceman or something' lmao.
