Anyone ever shy as a child?

Post Reply New Topic

I was talkative when I was a kid as well

Very much so, and I grew steadily more shy from about first grade onto my freshman year of high school. I have a little social anxiety but thankfully nothing that really hinders my ability to deal--I often cope with that by reminding myself that no one really cares that I sit off by the vending machines at lunch and not at the table, or that I have a habit of consuming a set amount of one type of food at lunch per day.

I have been opening up more now, but it's a slow thing. I remember a classmate telling me that he thought I was becoming more friendly and involved earlier this year and just being totally suspicious and blown away over it...

It helps being within a community of people for a certain time. I think college will be good for me in that respect, especially as I hope to go to a smaller university with high academic standards.

In primary school i was really shy, if a chick like started to talk to me my face would go redder than a beetroot literally or anyone for that matter.

That's what I'm like now

It will get better as you go along Sopho_soph im still a bit like that but not around people i trust but but big crouds i am awfull.
hey soph you sound like a friend of mine in the uk named Amanda and you look like her aswell.

I live in the UK
I don't think I know anyone called Amanda. But then again, I don't really know many people.

I wanna go to the UK for a holiday by my self either next year or the next.

It's not that great here
Where in the UK would you go?

,

well to be honnest i dont know, i would kinda like to go to london and that about the only place i know of, i wouldnt mind meeting new people and stuff maybe go to the shopping centers

Oh yeh London is good. I haven't been there for ages but I like it. I wouldn't want to live there though, but it's a nice place to go for a while. I live in northern England, it's a bit crap up here but we have Man United.

I dont live in the city either, yeah i wouldnt mind going over ther i bit cold though compared to australia.

I like the weather over here actually, I hate being hot, so it suits me fine here. It's really hot today though, I felt all sweaty and horrible on my way home.

I prefere the cold aswell, when its hot my face goes red and its Humiliating well kinda, i also wanna go to Hollywood and New Zealand but not as much as the UK.

I was exteremely shy as a child, but as I grew up, I got out of my shell, but I'm still a bit shy.

Oh, yeah. I didn't talk much. In fact, I'm not actually sure if this was because of my shyness, but it took a long time for me to learn to talk.

When I became a performing artist, it became like a therapy that helped me get braver and better at being able to talk with people.

Yes, still am.
