I Conquered Shyness Stories of Experiences

Having a false sense of superiority really helps. Call me a monster, but there are alot of idiotic people in the world. Once you realize this, talking to people won't be so tough.

I wish I would have just figured it out years ago.

I wonder sometimes what my life would have been like if I was more like I am now, back in my youth.

I used to be held back by my shyness in a lot of areas of life.
I was too shy to do many social things, (which kept me single)
I suffered through other social interactions instead of enjoying them,
I had a whole lot less fun at parties...

I used to be pretty reserved..it all kinda stemmed from my last few years of elementary school , all of middle school and first two years of high school...
 
I only had two friends as a kid..and right when middle school started...

I was a shy child and remained so until my late teens possibly.  I don't have any clear defining date of when it dissolved, just that i know when i look back, it is not something I have been in a while.
As a child, I did...

But I still have my moments of shyness. I have a little panic attack and stutter like a buffoon. But it's only under the rare circumstances that a beautiful girl talks to me and intimidates me with her beauty. But for the most part I'm...

I am still shy at times but not has bad as I was! It has taken me 38 years to accept who I am and to relise there is nothing wrong with me! I'm 48 now
 

i don't know how to create consistency. I feel like i've crossed that shyness line many times but don't know how to stay therE once i'm there i'm only there for a short while before i jump back over to the quiet shy side of the line...

I used to be the girl who sat in the corner and didn't speak unless someone spoke to me. But now, I'm the one who speaks to people. I'm the one that brings others out of their shells. I've broken my shell. And I'm bloody glad I have!

I had always been a shy child. Painfully shy. I never had more than a couple of friends at a time, one was more like it. It took me years to get close to someone. Which is why i had a difficult time in school as i was growing up. On top...

Does anyone ever want to be anything but what they are? I've always wanted to be more outgoing, more unique, more funny...   why can I never just be what I am?!
