shyness and further embarasment because of it

I am insanley shy untill i get to know somone very well. I get teased a lot for it but of course this makes it worse because then i become embarassed. Why do people do this? Whats so wrong with being reserved and quiet?

 

nothing ....its probably best ...99% of who i talk to ....theres no reason

 

I hate when that happens to me.. I'm not nearly so shy as I used to be, but still, it's so annoying..

 

I am that way.

its just a protection of sorts.......

 

i'm wicked shy around new people i don't know. sometimes it gets to the point were i don't say much, even to the people i know. i don't do it consciosly, but it happens. but i never get teased about it, i guess because after 1-2 days or so being around that person, i will have no reserves left. its really wierd.

 

its horrible but its better than people who are open books

 

I'm selectively shy. I don't say much to 99% of the people in this world. If someone genuinely interests me though, I open up and let them get to know me and try and get to know them.

 

I'm guessing that most people would prefer you to pretend all the time Micheal







sorry couldn't resist

 

i talk to peeps but i always forget to say important stuff

 

I am really quiet all the time too. I hardly talk

 

its better than acting like a loud dumbass.

 

a loud dumbass just ran out of gas in front of my house , and i lent him a gas can ....

 

i think its because people feel akward around quiet people. Im like that too, but when im around someone who is even shyer than me, i can see how it can get a bit akward.

 

Don't feel bad lynsey, I'm the same way. But once I feel comfortable with someone, I myself can admit that it's hard to get me to stop talking, I'll talk a mile a minute.

But around people I don't know, I don't say much of anything. I just observe, kind of test the waters, sit back and try to get a vibe on the people before saying much.

BTW, everytime I type your name I think I'm typing to my little sister. She has the same name, except, her's is spelled Lyndsey.

 

I'm very shy too. I will talk to someone if they talk to me first. Most people think I'm a snob though because I'm so quiet.

 

same here and compared to most in this area I am the least snotty person I know. I'm pretty non-judgemental. I hate being judged because I don't feel comftrable talking to people I dont know on non-work related issues.

 

i am extremly shy.

sometimes i pretend im not....

(side note- i am extremly shy when sober)

 

I'm really shy around people too and hardly say anything unless I'm really interested in
something they are talking about.

 

I'm a shy person as well, however, I've learned that you hear more, when you are quite. Also, I've quickly learned that you can not be shy in corporate America, you have to speak up for what you believe in, other wise you will never be heard or someone will steal your idea.

 

exact;y i have my loud dumbass moments...like last night i got kicked out of a club):...for the second time this year but had a blast and kissed a hot girly for some departing marines now i feel like a hoe but ya live and learn right.
