I was super shy as a kid too. Hell, I'm still shy, but not to the same extent. I just don't have it in me to be outgoing. I try to occasionally put myself out of my comfort zone, but I still have a really hard time doing so. I used to not be able to talk to someone I don't know, like AT ALL. Now, I can at least have a conversation with someone I don't know, even if that conversation ends up a bit on the awkward side. Once I get to know someone though, forget it. I'm not shy with them anymore. If I'm in a group and know most of the people, even if there are people I don't know, I can be not shy. I'm sure there were times (and still are) that I could have more fun by trying NOT to be shy, but I don't know how to get around it. It's who I am. When I try not to be shy, I feel like I'm being fake because I'm not being myself. It's weird, I know. LOL.
I feel like once I had kids, I didn't really get to be shy anymore. I had to put myself out there for Lucas. I mean, I did while in college but not even to the extent that I do now. It's kind of crazy.
What sucks is when people think that you are bitchy because you are shy. Sometimes I don't know what TO say so instead of coming up with something lame, I don't say anything at all. And automatically I'm "in a bad mood." :(
Ugh, I know! People often think I'm a snob because I don't say anything. Hello, people, maybe I just don't have anything to say! Ever think of that? Drives me crazy. And I'm constantly being asked "are you ok?" or "Is everything all right?" because I'm so quiet. I'm fine people. I'm just naturally quiet and shy by nature. If everyone were so outgoing and social, no one would ever be heard. You need us quiet, shy types in the mix. Trust me. Ugh. So annoying!
