I've always been a shy person since my childhood. It's gotta better with age but when I'm in large crowds I fuckin freeze up
:stressed:
I had someone tell me as a man my age I shouldn't be as shy as I am.... :uhh:
Absolutely. I've never really been shy, but you can try different things that may pull you out of ur comfort zone, and once u face those fears, normal settings may not seem like such a task.
Maybe a theatre class
I was very timid as a kid. I think I grew out of it around 8/9 years old.

It's not even normal settings I have problems with. I'm just naturally a low key mysterious awkward person. Like when I meet people for the first time I don't give too much and I think my friends considering it as me being "stand-offish" whenever they introduce me to someone :plzstop:
But it's just how I am. I open up at my own pace I think.

Oh God! I thought about this but I'd probably be too nervous
:plzstop:
I don't think so...I'm just like you
in large crowds or awkward situations, I tend to close myself off and get timid, quiet, etc..
I don't really come out or show my true self unless I'm comfortable.
And it's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
it's just how you are....
embrace it.
speaking from experience
yes it is something to grow out of but my love for singing and the arts helped
and practice with giving presentations and an acting class helped me
also barney taught me that the things that used to bother me really arent so scary at all no theyre not so scary at all

I think it really depends on the person.
However I think shyness isn't bad. Society always tells us not to be shy. Be open! Introverted=bad. Extroverted=good. Especially in workplace.
But shy people are often very observant and tend to be good listeners.
If you're naturally shy, embrace it and work from there. Try to find a balance that you're still comfortable with.
It depends on the environment and the person so I don't think it's something a person necessarily "outgrows." I've always been outgoing but I did become a bit shy from ages 11-13. You add a little puberty and a few life lessons to the mix and, VOILA! Here I am today!
:cheerup:

Really have to get comfortable around people before I begin opening up.
It's something I never really noticed until my best friend pointed it out.
But funnily enough, I'm very quick to make new friends. I'm always seen to be very approachable and friendly.
I guess it's the 100% Herb experience that doesn't come until I know you're good peeps.
I think that's what my bestie was referring to -- all the laughing, silliness and mess. I'm very reserved until I warm up to you.
I'm the same way Herb. If it's one to one. But when it's a large ass group of people (I just came off this travel venture trip) just doing the most it's a lot for me to take in

I used to think i was shy until I realize I was just an introvert and asocial.
It's a personality trait. You can do things to overcome it, but for the most part it's not going to go away entirely. And it shouldn't be viewed as a negative thing.

I've been shy since like forever. There's nothing wrong with it.
People make it seem like it is.
Nah not really. Depends on the degree of shyness though.
I think people learn better ways to mask & overcome it.
"Shy" is a broad term. It could be some form of anxiety.
I haven't. I always have to challenge myself day b day,
not all dese niggas giving shy teas
:justabit:
You might grow out of it a little since other peoples opinions of you become less important as you age, but you still might have to be proactive and do things out of your comfort zone to fully let go of the terrible trait.
I'm not shy, but I'm not a big talker. I have to warm up to people first. I'm the worst small talk person ever :dead:
Am a shy introverted girl at heart
