Hey everyone my name is Paul and I'm 21. I'm french canadian so I'll do my best with english but I don't guarantee you will understand everything
So like most of you here, I'm extremely shy..go figure.
I don't know what happened in my life for me to be like this. I was very popular, with the girls included, up until I got to 16 years old I'd say. You know I had many friends and was liked by many girls. Come 16 years old I started losing friends and girls started to lose interest in me. I was still the same person, same looks, same interests. Slowly but surely I started talking less and less and avoided certain opportunities. Yet again I have no idea why?! Now I'm 21 I have my select group of friends whom are all guys. Apart from that I have trouble meeting new people, approaching girls and the works..
I really don't understand myself, my first and only relationship ever was 4 years ago, and that lasted 3-4 weeks itself. I'm a sports nut, played 5-7 high school sports and was pretty good...I still play hockey, soccer and golf competitively and you'd think it would give me confidence in meeting new people and girls...but no. I'm also very intelligent and I have my moments with comedy. I'm not bad looking either..I'm just sick and tired of staying in my little world and not doing anything with my life socially. I'm always finding myself not knowing what to say or how to prolongue the conversations or thinking what they'll think of me if I say/do certain things.
Now I'm moving to the big city so it'll double my shyness...I'm done for. I'll have twice the struggle in meeting people and going out.
I don't really know what this thread will accomplish but it's already starting to feel good to finally let it all out for people to read my pain. I started reading some of the other threads maybe it will wake me up, I hope so.
Nice to see there's others out there, nice to meet all of you (although it's online) it's a start!
