Hi to everybody!,I have just discovered this forum & think that it is brilliant! believe it or not i am painfully shy! although now in my thirties
( although very youthful in looks!) i have only really just began to accept how i am!, when i was really young i used to cover my shyness by acting the clown and making jokes about everything , but as i grew older i think i became more anxious about making myself look stupid or an idiot!, then i seemed to withdraw into myself!. Although i can communicate with people ok in general conversation i really struggle with small talk always seem to dry up
i really would love to socialise a lot more, but just really feel self conscious unless i have had a few drinks.I always stay in the background, people think that i am being aloof or unfriendly, when their thoughts couldn't be further from the truth!
i am sure that my shyness has cost me one relationship ( believe me finding a partner when your male and painfully shy is difficult enough!)
i want to conquer this shyness because i am not the only one losing out!
i know that we all suffer varying degrees of shyness and my heart goes out to every one of you!
i am really looking forward to making some new friends on here!
Oh & by the way i am from the uk, good luck chris
