I myself am shy. But not as shy as some. I do in fact like shy girls. I never knew that I did until one came into my life. Though we turned out to be friends only, I loved her shyness. When we began talking in the first few weeks she...

When I was little I wouldn't have any problems socializing with people and I had many friends. I think it was around 5th grade when my shy side started to develop and it was...

I have always been very shy. It's just how I was and it's no different now that I'm older.
Growing up, my family would often tell me to stop acting shy. I hated them for that. I wasn't acting. Why would I pretend to be something that...
