Overly shy?

[Hisui Meido]

Well, I was fine up until a few years ago. It started all of a sudden and now it just isn't getting better. I'm 19 now, it's embarrassing to have this problem.

Yup and for me it is called social anxiety disorder! D:

[Yami Maikeru Kun]

I'm overly shy. I don't know how to be outgoing, so... Well thingys didn't go over so well when I tryed to get over it. sad

Thats what i have!!! i remember now!!

I used to be that way, though not as extreme.

I just got some good friends who I can open up to, and having that made it easier to interact with people "outside my circle".

i only like being around ONE person and hes my best friend because i just dont feel right hanging out with anyone else cause i dont know what to say to them and im not good with starting conversations sooo though i woulld love to make some friends

[Angel Trainee Momo]

I have that problem too.
I always keep my head down and never talk to anyone.
And, if anyone does talk to me, no matter who they are, I always turn cherry red.
The only people I'll talk to are just a few select friends, most everyone else ignores me.
And, even when I go to restaurants, or anywhere, if I'm asked what I want, I won't talk to the person, but whisper to my parents and they'll tell them for me.
I barely even look at other people unless they're far away.
I really hate it.

It depends on who I'm talking to, and what I'm trying to say. This guy I had a major crush on last year would walk by my locker every morning and I would get all nervos. Then it turns out that we had art class together too and he sat right across from me. Then he would start talking to me and I would just say something in respons and it always surprised me how easily the words came to me. So one day I decided that I was going to ask him out. But when I finally reached his locker I opened my mouth to say it but the words got stuck in my throut and I couldnt say it. So i just ran away crying. redface

One time I got so scared that I actually started trembling. In the middle of school one day, I had to answer a question in front of the class and I started crying because I was scared of everyone. I can only talk to my friends and other people I know. I think that was a panic attack (?) or something.

Sounds like social anxiety disorder.
Force yourself to stay outside your room when someone visits.

I used to be that girl in the back of the class who hid behind her hair and drew under the table. I was very quiet and felt overwhelmed in crowded places.

Mostly I got over it because I was so unhappy with the way I was that I'd force myself to to go to the mall for a few hours or go to school dances and stay the entire time (all those crowds and loud music) and every once in a while I'd give myself a break in the beginning by hiding in the bathroom for a bit. Mostly I just forced myself outside my comfort zone and tried to talk to people. I tried to look people in the eye more often to when I was either talking to them or walking down the street. Now I'm pretty out going. Most people are shy of me now.

[Krazii_lub]

Most people in my class are outgoing, I'm quiet, so you can say I don't exactly fit in. Over the past few years I have grown to become more talkative. I have a few friends whom I could really express myself, everyone else is just a simple hi.
I can't start conversations with someone I barely know. Sure, I might ask about school and stuff, but it usually doesn't hold their interest or mine. I always feel that if I talk freely I might come off as weird. Thats probably whats been holding me down all these years. No confidence.

I am very shy and don't talk to people who are overly nice to me. It feels really weird if I don't know them.
