Does shiness humble?

[Anonymous]

Is it just me or does it seem that people that carry the trait of being shy for the most part are humble people and I know it's not always the case cause there's probably people that are shy but not humble and same with a lot of people that aren't shy and are humble but for the most part shy people are either humble or have a low self esteem and people that are either cocky or high self esteem are normally the opposite of shy, I have come to the comfort of Everytime someone they mention they are shy I make the assumption that they aren't a toxic person.

I grew up as a very, painfully shy kid... so I know about that one thing very well

the word humble can be tricky... because it can be about being modest rather than cocky or arrogant, or it can be about having a "lower sense of self-esteem", so it is usually a mix in between these two things

there was one thing I never liked, and I always tried to avoid but rarely could... and that was getting both attention, and praise... attention because of who I was, the way I looked and what not... and praise, because of how I was and circumstances in which you stand out... I hated both, because it gave me a lot of anxiety and stress

so, for me... to be modest and to minimize any "importance" about me, was a way of living and surviving, lol

however... I grew up to become a different person, an assertive one, there is no lack of self-esteem in me... and I would not say I am humble but, rather modest

there are of course, circumstances, situations and context, in which things might differ but... generally speaking, and mostly modest about things

shyness can cause a lot of messed up things though... lol

If you’re shy, I’m gonna bill the shit out of you. It’s not humbling sometimes. It’s them observing and planning.

[electromagnetic]

Bully**

[Asker]

Why are you bullying? 😂

[electromagnetic]

. If it’s meeting me for the first few times, I completely get it. Especially considering I have a very big personally but if you’re shy after meeting me a second/third time, you’re probably observing and planning and if that’s the abuse, I’ll bullying.

[Asker]

What are you talking about, shy people aren't all the same, some take longer to get comfortable around people and tbh if you give off the vibes that you are a judgmental person, it might take them even longer to get used to you 😂

[electromagnetic]

I just need them to be comfortable to realize I don’t bite. Besides, I am judgmental and if they’re gonna be shy around me, what’s the point?

[Asker]

If you are judgmental then you do bite lol and I guess it all depends, what you are mentioning sounds more of a patience issue from your part 😂

[electromagnetic]

You could be right. 😂 I’m always open for criticism. I know for sure I don’t have patience for certain folks ✔️

[Asker]

You gotta learn to be more patient empy 🙂😌☝🏽

[electromagnetic]

I’ll end up in jail before that 🤣

[Asker]

I'll sneak you in some poptarts if that ever happens, I gotchu

[electromagnetic]

[beebella]

Shy people can definitely be toxic. I've known some of them. 😂

[Asker]

[beebella]

I'm not sure, but I have known a couple. 😂

[Asker]

[beebella]

[SweetJoyGirl]

[Asker]

You don't seem that shy lol

[SweetJoyGirl]

In person I am. lol
I keep to myself.😌

[Asker]

I don't think being a private person and shy are the same thing 😂

[SweetJoyGirl]

[SweetJoyGirl]

I can’t see it. 🤔

[Asker]

Very humble of you (sarcasm) 😂

[SweetJoyGirl]

[Asker]

It's just facts 🙂

[Jennz6]

I’m shy, submissive and maybe humble

[Asker]

Well you surely never sounded like an asshole about anything, I do notice you mention your submissiveness a lot tho, it's kinda refreshing to see a woman that embraces her submissiveness tho.

[euniestars]

[euniestars]

[StudyingAuthor]

[Anonymous]

Are you shy?

[Asker]

No I just don't like socializing but I don't know if there's a difference, I like to believe there is

[Opinion Owner]

Why don't you like socializing?

[Asker]

I just don't lol

[Opinion Owner]

Are u embarrassed?

[Asker]

No why would I be embarrassed, I just don't find any satisfaction is talking to others

[Opinion Owner]

You don't have a y family or friends you talk to?

[Asker]

I have family and I talk to them but that's about it

[Opinion Owner]

You don't have friends? 😲
I think socializing is good for your mental health tbh even if you don't like socializing or are shy.

[Asker]

No they are all dead, I just don't have the time or energy to make others cause tbh I lost the realest ones and I won't get people that understand shit the way they did, and I don't know if its called shy to not want to make the effort to talk to others

[Opinion Owner]

Shy is when you get embarrassed. When someone puts you on the spot or something. Yeah, I was shy cos I would get embarrassed when people would put me on the spot when I was younger. It seems like I was always put on the spot when I was little because other people would always call me pretty and automatically like me because they assumed I was humble. Even to this day people like me and assume I'm a kind hearted individual. Lol I get embarrassed when people put me on the spot but I'm not as shy anymore. I've always liked being around others though but I didn't want to be the one on the spot 😅 I think you're introverted. Which I never was because I do enjoy the company of others.

[Asker]

But isn't being on the spot about something always an embarrassment, I think shy is when you care about what people think and are afraid to speak up right? 🤔

[Opinion Owner]

Ohh you're embarrassed about what they will say about you. I was more embarrassed about about being the center of attention. Lol

[Asker]

What I'm not embarrassed, I just don't like other people, I don't want to speak to people lol

[Opinion Owner]

Why? ... you sound like a negative nacy

[Asker]

Cause I never felt the need too lol

[Opinion Owner]

So u don't like Anyone?

[Asker]

Not really, id rather just be on my own shit

[Opinion Owner]

Isn't it boring though? You don't go out or anything?

[Asker]

Not for fun and stuff, I'm more of a homebody anyways lol

[Opinion Owner]

Ooh okay.
