I'd like to say something positve, like "shyness can be endearing" or "it's better than arrogance" but truth be told, I'd give anything to be more confident. Being like this has diminished my chances of having a rich and fullfilling future, well at least that's how it seems at the moment.

No.

Shyness is never good. Never.

I hate being shy it is the worst feeling ever I feel like I am one of the only people around who is shy.

I hate being shy...
I hate the fact that i cant walk up to people and ask a question
And the fact that i cant stand to watch myself on TV *for school projects and stuff*
and how unassertive i am, and my talking skills suck... i think back at my conversation and get all worried about how dull and boring they are... and the stupid things i say

I don't like it much; there are times when I'm constantly bitching about it. Then I'll try to change myself.

But then when I try to change myself, I get uncomfortable because I'm so used to being my shy, introverted, avoidant self, and it seems like I avoid more problems by being that way. =/

I did not choose shyness, it has chosen me. I think shy people have a very delicate nervous system, and are extra sensitive to stimuli etc. The only thing you can do is to accept it. Sadly, you will have a mucher lower quality of life compared to most people, but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Don't believe people who tell you that you will "overcome" it. You will only get hurt when you realize that it's just the way you are.

If you want bigotry and fundamentalism and naked ape chest beating, you can't do better than starting with ayatollah Richard Dawkins.

Ofcourse i hate being shy. It's eating my life... I was shy all my life, so i am starting to think like Argamemnon. Sadly there's a lot of true in your words... Trying to overcome it for about a year, nothing's getting better...

Argamemnon

It is impossible to overcome for me, but that doesn't mean that it's like that for everyone. I'm an extreme case. Seriously, if you've never had a girlfriend at age 32, and don't even have any friends, then it's very obvious that there is no hope at all.

I hate my lack of self-confidence and the anguish it gives me when I need to stand up to people. I hate that I turn into a mumbling wreck when I'm nervous, and the way that people stare at me when I do that. On the other hand, I really don't want to be a loud, assertive, partying, talkative person. I just want to be myself, but quietly confident.
