Are you a shy person?

Question

How does it impact your life?

Ευδεμονια · Accepted Answer

Yes I am and this affected my life in various ways.
When I was little, my cheeks turned red every time I had to speak to someone outside of family, also for futile reasons. This shyness gave me difficulty at making friends, at expressing my opinion especially when it was different from the majority’s, at making others respect me and my ideas, and I couldn’t have the courage even for a date. I had also big insecurities that I kept only for myself since I was too shy to share, and that became a true suffering.
Nowadays things are changed a bit since I decided that I’ve been too remissive those years and I started expressing my opinion more, I gathered a bit of courage for making myself respected (a bit more).

To a degree. I am nowhere as bad as I was when I was a kid. Still have social anxiety in public with new people or people I don't know a lot about.

Yes I'm extremely shy. I can't approach someone I don't know without giving myself a pep talk and being super nervous that sometimes I blank out for a moment which is super embarrassing. I can't ask questions in public or even walk in front of a group of people without feeling so much anxiety. I also blush really bad at compliments which only makes it more embarrassing.

I’m more introverted than I am shy but I wish I had pushed myself to be more social and outgoing - I don’t have any friends to hang out with bc the three friends that I have all moved out of state lol

TrueConfection · Answer

Yes, I am. I have to force myself to talk to people. I pretend I'm not shy, but sometimes I can't help it and I come across as a snob.

Yes. I'm 32 and have only been to 2 weddings because I don't have enough friends. Kinda sucks tbh.

Wise4myage · Answer

Yes, but I am getting better at not being so damn shy all the time.

MTC29 · Answer

I've been called a lot of things; but shy isn't one of them.

shyguy1886 · Answer

I wouldn't say I'm shy, but maybe slightly introverted with extrovert tendencies. I do definitely go shy if I start develop feelings for someone of opposite sex though.
