Curiousity is getting the better of me. I've never talked to anyone(at least not that I am aware) who has what I consider to be chronic love shyness. I definitely have it.
I deliberately did not put this thread under relationships mainly because to the best of my understanding, people with this affliction do not have relationships.
So, I was wondering if anyone with or without it has any thoughts they want to share? Like whether they think they can overcome it. Or anything on the topic.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying that you love shy men  I do have to correct you on one thing: Shy people DO in fact have relationships. But a lot of us have difficulties meeting people or staying in a relationship |

i don't think shy to shy relationships would work only because both sides would never take the first move or say the first thing so nothing may happen..  |

I agree that it may be difficult to have a relationship with a shy person. Although myself & my boyfriend of 4 years were incredibly shy around each other when we first met. After a few months things worked out, and we overcame the shyness. Maybe it just depends on the couple.

I've read that love shyness is a condition that's basically...how do I say this. Someone who is pretty much crippled by it in terms of opposite sex relations of any kind. They're so shy or have very low self-esteem to the point where any kind of sexual interaction or the potential for it gives them bad anxiety attacks. Even talking to or looking at someone or even going on 1 date. I know I have it. I've never met or talked to anyone that I was aware had it too. So I was curious if maybe someone here had it.

Oh ok, now I know what you're talking about! Sorry!
Yeah, I'm sure there are quite a few people on this board whose shyness is more focused in that area of their lives. Really, a lot of shy people are very afraid of people getting close to them and in a romantic relationship, you're getting as close as you possibly can to another individual. It is frightening.
But like a few of us have said, there are degrees of shyness and areas of our lives in which it is most focused.
