Hi Im 16 and im from ky. I am so shy and its really bugging me.. I have a good life i admit but i want more..ive had alot of boyfriends in the past couple of years and everytime ive been dumped because of how shy i am( happened again today) i cant talk in front of a group of ppl either..its horrible..my art teacher last year was a real jerk. He made me memorize a powerpoint presentation and tell it in front of a class of 24 ppl and a huge camera stuck in my face and when i kept freezing he would make fun of me i was shaking so bad i ran from the room crying. ppl think im stuck up too because i never talk in class unless my best friend is with me..and i hate it. i even was silly enough to make a new years resolution this year...it was to go up to just 10 ppl i had never talked to and start a conversation even if we didnt end up being friends it was ok cause i had stepped out of my own comfort zone and that would have been a been a big step for me..but of course im still as shy as ever..

I probably sound like an asshole here, but you get no sympathy from me.
Women have it so much easier in this game. 16, with multiple past relationships? I'm older than you and it'll be a miracle if I can ever get into the first.
