so here’s my latest dilemma!

i am really really shy and i always have been, actually i think its something else because sometimes i’m shy and sometimes i’m not its like i have my moments. well there came a point about a couple months ago where somehow my mind decided it was going to be extremely shy! now whenever i am around my friends or even family i’m afraid to say something because i’m basically afraid it will come out stupid. i feel like i have this issue about expressing myself even though i have this image of myself thats completely different. i’m really lost here and i feel like i need help finding just who i am and not being afraid of it! can anyone give me some solid advice? i really could use the help.

You know I used to be like you. But that came for me from years of abuse, because no matter what I said when I was a little kid, I would get punished. But this isn’t about me, it’s about you.

Do you have any idea why you’re like that or what might have made you become like that?

well…basically up until my sophomore year i was a total outcast and had barley anyone i could turn to so i was all alone all the time. then i found one really good friend and he dropped me like a fly a couple of months ago. i was pretty hurt and that might have caused it i guess.

Then that friend was not a real friend. A real good friend sticks with you through thick and thin. Don’t sweat it or blame yourself for it.

Try pretending you’re not shy.
