I m incredibly shy in real life....I ve just realised that I don t have to be online....has that ever happend to you?

I m not just shy, some people say i m not shy just quiet. Others thing I m bubbly, outgoing, chatty.
I think it may be some kind of social phobia, coupled with laziness.
I realised today for the first time that I don t have to be shy online, I don t have to be shy here, if I don t want. I am ususally painfully shy online as well, it s as if I don t want anyone to know what I m thinking ever, as if I am ashamed of it....but clearly I m here so that is not true. Any way....anybody ever felt similar?

    I figured that out a long time ago, when I did figure it out I became the person I am now.

    I can carry on conversations with people in different countries and talk just about anything.

    I like my new persona.

    Your first sentence describes me completely. I sometimes feel like I am lazy too. I think you are afraid of being misunderstood that might be the reason you are even shy online. You don't have too be shy around me. I can be ya practise buddy!!!

    Actually, you must be shy here too. Because Internet people are extremely critical and discriminating, and you may get ostracized and even cursed if you say something that people here doesn't like.
