Hi I'am new here and am so glad to find a place like this to talk to other people that can understand what its like to be shy.
I'am 18 and have been shy all my life but havent really thought of it as that big of a problem untill the last couple of years.
I now I don't have to decribe what its like cause I'am sure you all know about it.
It was my 1st day of my second year of college last week I was on my second day everything whas going fine untill I was talking to my personal tutor. We talked about be and how she thinks I suit what i'am going at college (training to work with children) We talked for a while then I just suddenly burst into tears - and she knows thats not like me. I said that I didnt feel confident in what I was doing and stuff like that. At college I only had 1 friend and she left last year so Ive been on me own and beening shy I find it hard to make friends. She took my in to a private room and talked for ages about what was upseting me - It was the first time I had ever talked to someone about what was going off in my head and it felt good to talk eventhough it wasnt easy to say what I was feeling but because I was already crying I had nothing left to lose. After that she arranged me an apointment with a mentor which I when to see for the first time to I cryed alot there to we talked about my shyness and I now have a second appointment with him tomorrow morning.
My tutors also aranged weekly apointments with me to talk about anything which was realy nice of her she has been a big help - more than she will ever know because she got me to talk about it and get help I now its only the early stages but its something.
- I just had to post this cause I'am finaly getting help and talking about it helps.
