Bad Reputation of Shy People.

[matthewtheshyperson]

Does anyone find it at all annoying, that shy people seem to have this bad name for themselves, as if people are thinking that they are too snobby to talk to people, that they hate everyone around them or that they are just being stupid. I think that people should be more unferstanding towards the shy (although I understand most don't think they're doing anything wrong) as not everyone can be an extrovert. Most people think they're not going to get along with me, because I talk as little as possible,but sometimes they're pleasantly surprised, and other times it's just plain akward I break a nervous sweat.

Anyway, thanks for your time. If anyone have anything else to add (or inform me that what I'm saying is actually inccorect) then feel free. :-)

It's a common thing for most shy people and introverts. Sometimes when I get a new coworker, I think they believe that I'm pretty cold and anti-social. But after enough time that changes as I get more comfortable around them.

Also, welcome to SU!

Thanks:-). People usally get to like me over time, in fact by the end of my time at my old school I had a reputation for being one of the nicest people there!
