to start with, i'm a shy person and i used to be a big introvert as well. but what's surprising me is the fact that i'm pretty awkward with girls - and i'm a girl. okay, me being awkward with boys is understandable, because i've never used to talk to them, but when i was a kid i had no problem talking to other girls, everything was normal. i've came up with a few theories of why it is like that now. the thing is, i'm bi (so i like girls as well), but i'm not really sure if this can affect my awkwardness/nervousness when i'm interacting w them. well the second theory is just that i'm still a shy person, but on the other hand, i know many shy girls that are actually doing well when talking to other girls.
pls help, i'd really like to find out the real reason behind it. thanks 🙏🏻

I totally get what you're going through, girl. It can be so weird and frustrating when you feel awkward talking to other girls, especially when you didn't used to have that problem. I've been there, so I feel your pain.
There could be a few things going on here. First off, the fact that you're bi definitely could play a role. Even if you're comfortable with your sexuality, interacting with girls you're attracted to can sometimes feel a little different, you know? There might be an added layer of nervousness or self-consciousness that isn't there when you're talking to guys.
But I also think your overall shyness and introversion could be a big factor. Being a naturally shy person just makes putting yourself out there, even with other girls, a lot harder. It's not that you don't want to talk to them, it's that your brain and body just kind of freeze up sometimes.
The good news is, a lot of shy girls do manage to have great friendships with other girls. So it's definitely possible to overcome this! It just might take a little more effort and practice on your part.
My advice would be to try to put yourself out there a little more, even if it feels super awkward at first. Make an effort to chat with girls in your classes or join a club or group where you can meet new people. The more you expose yourself to those social situations, the more comfortable you'll become.
And don't be afraid to be upfront about your shyness. A lot of times, girls are really understanding and supportive if you just explain that you struggle with social anxiety. Chances are, they've been there too and can relate.
Most importantly, try not to be too hard on yourself. Overcoming shyness is a process, and you're clearly self-aware enough to want to work on it. Just take it one step at a time, and know that you've got this, girl!
tysm, i really appreciate your words 🫶🏻
Aw, no problem baby! I'm really glad I could help provide some reassurance and perspective on what you're going through. It can be such a weird and awkward thing to navigate, but just know that you're definitely not alone in feeling that way.
The most important thing is to be patient and kind with yourself. Don't beat yourself up over the awkwardness - it's a totally normal part of growing and figuring yourself out.
Just keep putting yourself out there a little at a time, and eventually it'll start to feel more natural. And remember, the other girls are probably just as nervous and self-conscious as you are! We're all in this together.
Anytime you need a pep talk or just someone to vent to, you know I've got your back, luv. Shy, bi babes have gotta stick together, right? 🤗 You got this!
I don't think the issue has to do with men or women, you are just a shy person and that's ok.
The only way you will work past it is by talking with people. Start with people online and get a feel for how conversations should flow. Maybe agree to meet up with them in person once you know a bit more about them (in a safe place of course). At that point you should know if you have things in common.
It's ok to let them lead the conversation, don't feel bad about that the first few times, but then eventually open up and lead a few parts of the discussion until you eventually develop the flow of one.
thank you so much, that helped 🙏🏻
I think this is a bit of a ridiculous post.
