Hi everybody, i just came across this website a few days ago and it looks great! Its suprising to see so many people with the same condition as me, as ive never personally met or ever come across anyone with our shyness problem. I can see that il meet new ppl here who i can relate to and im sure this website will help with the problems we face.

Hi and welcome.
I always think it's kind of cool when someone stumbles across this site who previously thought they were more or less alone in how they feel. Reminds me of how I felt when I discovering this place!

Im sure you moderators will have some success stories and tips u can tell us??? I don't know. What do you consider a success story? I hear stories on here about people pushing themselves quite often. (I hope people don't mind if I name a few names) But for example, Crash went on a month long excursion overseas to England when she was a bit aprehensive about doing so. Bodhi has made stunning progress in the dating world in just a few months. I think Cyclopse moved out on his own recently. There is good stuff happening all the time, its just that it doesn't get pointed out as often as it probably should be.

Im sure you moderators will have some success stories and tips u can tell us??? We're just part of the crowd here, really. Actually, i do have quite a few success stories to relate here, but they have largely been in the long run. When i first discovered this website, i was at a low point in my life. I was in college and tended to be very reclusive and kept away from people whenever i could. I avoided crowded places, had a simple part time job that didn't involve a lot of socializing, and was very afraid to graduate and move on with my life. Since then, i've gotten a new job in a big Hardware store with lots of people, both customers and employees. I've since come out of my shell and opened up quite a bit to everyone. I'm known as a perky and upbeat individual in my life, who always sees the bright side of things. True, i still get depressed and sulky at times at the ocassional failure, but i never let it keep me down. One thing i think that helps is to look longterm. Life can always get better, no matter how rough the present might be. The trick is not to let yourself get beaten down by present circumstances. Stay loose, try to relax, and focus on what you're doing now in the present, while at the same time keeping an eye on the future and what promise it might bring to you. Remember: We are often our own worst enemy, so we must always combat our negative selves and make sure they don't get the upper hand, hehehe. "Life is like a civil war with ourselves; we must never let the enemy get the upper hand." The Russman, 2006.
