Hi,
I'm new and actually so shy I sortof don't even know what a forum is, but if there is one where I fit, I think this one would be the one for me.
I'm here because I would like to interact with people. I have tried penpals, but I even find it hard to know what to say to strangers by email that will make us not strangers anymore.
All my life I have felt less than a person. My family has always told me that I could change if I wanted to so that people will like me. When I tell them that I am unattractive and an uniteresting person, they tell me that confidence makes one attractive... Like I'm going to say, "Oh, Ok then I guess I'll be confident !" and that would be that.
Well, I really don't know what else to write (already feeling self conscious.) I guess I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can relate.

Yup. I relate. I'd guess most of the people here would. Confidence isn't exactly something you just decide to turn on like a light switch(unfortunately).
You might try groups you are interested in. Especially if they meet on some regular basis. If you keep going, eventually you'll get in a conversation with someone. Also, if you're interested in it, you'll probably have some piece of information that adds to the conversation. Since you probably read or practice it by yourself, too. I go to a weekly poetry reading and a monthly SF discussion group, largely for social reasons.
That can work for forums, too. I frequent a site for philosophical and religious discussions. That forum might be too serious to promote much socialization, though. But, it's interesting and I learn from it.

Hello Smiley! Welcome to SHY United.
Reading the posts of others and making your own posts does raise self confidence. The people on these boards are warm and caring (except for the Manchester United supporters out there).
Things like lonliness, lack of self-esteem etc are something many of us have had to deal with. Keep coming back.
Spitzig has given some good advice. Maybe you might consider joining a group on something you are really passionate about. It will help boost confidence.

I guess I'm just wondering if there's anyone here who can relate. Hi Smiley! So tell us about yourself... Are you in school? ... College? ... living with your parents? ... unemployed? ... married? ... children? ... an escapee from a mental institution? ... a troll living under a bridge? How old are you? What are your interests? ... hobbies? What part of the world do you live in? ... what city? Is it raining there? ... cold? Do you have any friends? (Imaginary ones don't count, BTW.) What is your hat size? What is the nature of your shyness? Inquiring minds want to know. Solitary Soul It’s all about me -> users3.ev1.net/~solitarysoul/----------------------------------------------------- |

See, there's a massive gap in the market. So many sites for penis enlargement pills but not one that helps people like me who have a MASSIVE piece of kit. Where are the penis reduction pills may I ask?
