Stuck in a "shell" of shyness.

whispers • 8 October 2012 at 6:06 PM

If you don't want to hear me complain - just go and don't say a thing.
This is really bugging me since about when the school-year began. I really hate how I can't get up the guts to say anything to anybody but my friends. Like - if someone I don't normally talk to starts talking to me - I clam up. I get red. I slur my words and my jaw locks up (literally).

Now since I've met my crush. The most I've said to him is "hi" and replied to some things he's asked me. The most of a conversation we've had was for 5 minutes.

But I'm not just talking about my crush. I'm meant his for most people in RL. And I'm afraid my terrible shyness will ruin my grade for my presentation projects.

And I hate how I have to get my mom to do some things for me cause I'm too scared to talk ;__; This is one of the two things I don't like about myself. It's like I'm stuck in this "shell" of shyness and I can't break out ;A;

It's kind of ruining my life right now. Cause when I have a question in class - I don't have the freaking guts to raise my hand.

I need some advice on how to change.
And don't tell me that I'm not shy. I am kinda two people - an EggCaver and a RL girl...

@whispers I understand. I'm okay with people that I know and presentations, but if I'm at a shop, for example, and I want to know how much a piece of candy costs, I'm too shy to ask.

@cat

I was like that in 6th grade. When the popular kids talked to me I froze up. Now I don't talk to them, they don't talk to me and it's fine that way xD You just need to go all bridge jumper daring-ness on this and tell your crush you like him. I'm doing the same thing tomorrow, and my case is even worse since I like one of my ex-gf's best friends O_o But I shall do it, and you can too. Good luck 😊

And for the other people, who cares if they hate you. There's 6,999,999,999 more that don't. Inspiration 😃

Okay, then o_o

Never mind xD

@cat
Well, I kinda don't care if I'm asking a random person I'll never see again a simple question. But I just hate presentations ;A;

@zafeyry
I know that but. But I just find it hard to talk to people at my school. Cause almost all of them know my weak spots >.<
I'm trying to just talk to my crush instead - cause that will be dare-ness from me XD

Im actually a complete nutjob, but people dont know that because when I present things, my face is bright red and I stumble over words. But my friends know my secret. I am not as shy as I seem. 😸

@whispers
That's the same thing that happens to me! I don't turn red because I'm Chinese, but I ALWAYS say the wrong thing...

I guess you all are right.
It's just something I have to change.
