OK, I'll bite =) Are you living with your parents/grandparents?--> Living in an apartment with my boyfriend, roommate, and kitty. ... unemployed?-->No, I have two jobs, actually, office manager by day, restaurant hostess by night ... married?-->Not yet ... children?-->Just my kitty ... an escapee from a mental institution?-->Not that I'm aware of, but that would explain a lot... ... a troll living under a bridge?-->Hope not
Are you living in a town, or an unincorporated rural area?--> Large town/suburb
What is the nature of your shyness? ... is it preventing you from achieving your goals in life? ... what ARE your goals in life (if any)? Right now, my goals in life are just to make enough money to pay live comfortably and live a happy life with my boyfriend. I want to work with animals in the future, but not exactly sure what.[ My shyness has hindered me from making friends comfortably, and from being as successful at work as I want to be b/c I have trouble asking for what I want and delegating responsibility./i]
What is the nature of your relationship with your parents?--> Close, but not super-close with either of them. They were very supportive of me and still are, a little more strict than most people's parents but that's b/c they were a little older. They never tried to be friends above parents and I'm OK with that.
Have your parents been able to maintain the viability of their relationship?--> They're still married, but I don't think they're in love anymore. They bicker, and I do think they love each other deep down but not like they used to.
Did you have a strict upbringing? ... are your parents over-protective?--> They were pretty stict, yeah, especially my dad. I do appreciate it now, and I do see where he was coming from seeing how my dad was in his fifties and sixties raising three teenage girls at one point =D It caused a lot of screaming matches with us as teenagers, but after we turned 18 he calmed down a lot. My dad is old enough to be my grandfather and he came from a very different time than all the permissive parenting stuff in the 80s and 90s.
Any siblings?--> Two sisters, ages 26 and 23. I'm 26 but will be turning 27 in a couple weeks. My sis and I are whaddayacallit, Polish twins?
How many friends do you have? ... any of them that you would consider "close?"-->Hmm..not counting my boyfriend, I'd say I have four or five close friends. Most tend to come and go in my life like the changing of the tides.
Have you ever been in an intimate relationship? ... still a virgin?--> I'm in one now and that's a no on the virgin q. No my boyfriend was not my first, nor I his.
[Were you]/[are you] a target for bullies in school? ... held up for ridicule?--> For a time in middle school I was picked on. I had glasses, braces, long gangly legs, stringy hair and was painfully shy to boot. Fun times, kiddies. In high school I moved and nobody bothered me then, but no one talked to me much either.
Are you over-weight? ... under-weight? ... physically disfigured? ... handicapped? ... speech impediment? ... poor eyesight (requiring thick glasses)?-->Neither underweight nor overweight, slim but with muscular legs from my cycling. No other handicaps but my eyesight sucks so I wear contacts.
Fave singers/music?--> Some faves are Tool, Metallica (old school, of course), Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Sevendust, Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, Depeche Mode, and the lovely Bjork.
Fave movies?--> The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, A Clockwork Orange, My Cousin Vinny, and the LOTR Trilogy. I also love old Bruce Lee kung foo stuff =D

... unemployed? Nope, I have an alright job that pays for school and apartment
... married? No
... children? No
... an escapee from a mental institution? Haven't been admitted to one yet
... a troll living under a bridge? I'll be here before the mental institution
Age? 26
Male or female? Female
What are your interests? ... hobbies? ... what do you like to do for fun? Beach-surf/bodyboard, Camp-anywhere to get away from the city life, Read, Watch movies, Bike, rollerblad-beach is a good place for this, draw, Webpage design- darn servers deleted me though. I had some pretty decent websites I did a few years ago but the servers went bellyup and took my sites with them.
What part of the world do you live in? California...or should we spell it Kalifornia now?
Are you living in a town, or an unincorporated rural area? About 25 min or so from the beach , though I don't go as often these days.
Do you like music? ... favorite album? ... favorite song? Love music of all kinds , except for the hardcore rap and country. Oh, and olddies put me to sleep so none of that either.

What is the nature of your shyness? ... is it preventing you from achieving your goals in life? ... what ARE your goals in life (if any)? My shyness prevents me from getting and keeping relationships for long periods of time. Guys think because I'm super quiet that its because I'm not interested.

I freak out, become super nervous when I have to do oral presentations.

Have your parents been able to maintain the viability of their relationship?
If they have seperated/divorced, how old were you when it happened? My dad left when I was 7 , never was in my life, died when I was 18 or something. That whole time I never had a chance to see him.

My mom is over protective, even today
Any siblings? Yes 1 brother, 1 sister.. im in the middle. How many friends do you have? ... any of them that you would consider "close?"

[Were you]/[are you] a target for bullies in school? ... held up for ridicule? Thankfully no
Are you over-weight? ... under-weight? ... physically disfigured? Average, I guess ... handicapped? ... speech impediment? ... poor eyesight (requiring thick glasses)? Not yet.

k its still me (cant modify posts in these forums?)
just a correction about the communication btwn my parents: they talk to me but never about my feelings emotions and what im going through or whats happening at school like they treat me like a hotel guest i guess u could say.. they buy stuff for me and what not, but money doesn't buy happiness rite and i wouldn't feel comfortable talking with them either about what im going through as they won't be able to understand it (they grew up in china much diff)

Hi Guys. I don't know if I've fully introduced myself, and since I'm bored I thought I'd fill out this questionaire. Are you living with your parents/grandparents? Parents Unemployed? No, but that may change with my company merging with another. Married? No, hopefully that will change before I'm 35. I had a dream to get married by the time I was 25... 30... and now it's 35. Please God don't make me add another 5 years. Children? Nope An escapee from a mental institution? I plead the 5th... A troll living under a bridge? You betcha! Are you living in a town, or an unincorporated rural area? The largest city in the world Favorite movie? Hangin' With The Homeboys, Young Frankenstein, Airplane I & II, Shrek, Superman II Favorite musician/bands? Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Hip-Hop, dance, techno, rock. What is the nature of your shyness? Disgusted by my looks, feeling inferior to women I am attracted to ... is it preventing you from achieving your goals in life? Yes. YES. YES! ... what ARE your goals in life (if any)? To be happily married, a couple of kids, successful in my chosen career. To have my wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren at my bedside when I die at the age of 100, so that I may ascend to the Next Plateau in peace. What is the nature of your relationship with your parents? Excellent, but I do not open up to them so they do not know my fear of women, but they know I am shy and depressed. Have your parents been able to maintain the viability of their relationship? Yes Did you have a strict upbringing? ... are your parents over-protective? Strict: No. Over-protective: To a minor extent. Any siblings? Nope How many friends do you have? ... any of them that you would consider "close?" I have around 15-20 friends, about 7 of them I consider close Have you ever been in an intimate relationship? ... still a virgin? If you don't include my right hand and a mean stack of Hustler Magazines, then yes I am still a virgin. ;D [Were you]/[are you] a target for bullies in school? ... held up for ridicule? No, my sense of humor made me very popular earlier in life when I went to private school, and in Junior High/High School I had friends who were "cool" and I knew the "cool" people, but I stayed in the background. Are you ... over-weight? I could drop 5 pounds ... physically disfigured? Besides being hideous, no. ... handicapped? No, and God Bless those who are. ... speech impediment? No ... poor eyesight (requiring thick glasses)? I sometimes can't see the wool pulled over my eyes, but besides that, no. Do you have a physical illness/condition that is limiting your life? No, but I have hypochondria, which means I think I have every disease in the book. I am living in fear that one day my doctor will tell me that I have a chronic disease. That's basically me in a nutshell.

I don't wanna go into detail, but here's what I can tell you I am 14, Male, in NYC. Just started 10th grade, no friends. I'm short, only 5ft. 2in. The only close friends I had were in 6th grade. I would consider myself mild/moderate shy. And I'm ugly . Reading the "Attractive & Shy" topic made me cry . also can anyone tell me is this forum dead or something, cause I barely see anyone post new topics & make new posts?
|

Post by wheelswithinwheels on Sept 18, 2004 19:38:50 GMT -5
I’m new here, so I may as well make this the first topic I post to.
Yes.
I live in a single apartment on campus.
For the moment, yes, but I do have several applications pending. I’m also in the process of joining the military.
No.
No.
We prefer the term “psychiatric hospital.”
Now that you mention it…
21
Wait, let me check…Male.
Trying to stay awake, I suppose. I like politics a lot. I volunteer sometimes for the Kerry campaign, and even got to meet him a couple of times. Other than that I just try to keep up at school.
Ohio.
Suburb.
My favorite band is Rush, and my favorite album is Relayer by Yes. My favorite song is "Natural Science" by Rush, which is evidenced in my name. I also like Tool, Rage Against The Machine, The Dixie Chicks, Primus, King Crimson, and much more.
There’s a lot…Pulp Fiction, Annie Hall, O Brother Where Art Thou?, Kill Bill, and probably more that I can’t think of now.
I’m very, very shy, my therapist didn’t hesitate in calling it social anxiety disorder. I hope it’s that that’s holding me down and not something I’m not seeing. I hate to think about my “life’s goals” because it just seems like wishful thinking and setting myself up for disappointment.
We get along, but are by no means close. And my stepmother dislikes me, for some reason.
My parents divorced when I was 2 or 3 years old, so it didn’t have any impact on my life because I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
I didn’t have a strict upbringing, although my mother is still ridiculously overprotective. I don’t think she realizes I’m 21 years old and not 10.
No, but I do have two stepsiblings who I almost never see or hear from.
None. I think it’s been over ten years since there’s been someone I could call a friend in my life.
1. See above; 2. Yes.
Up until high school, I was picked on quite a bit. Then it pretty much stopped. But the damage was already done, I guess.
I’m 6’2” and 180 lbs. Is that overweight? Normal? I don’t know. I have a bit of a stutter, but nothing else mentioned there.
Hypertension, which may keep me out of the military. I mentioned the social anxiety, as well as clinical depression. I've heard them described as "slacker diseases." Cute term.
