I don't understand how people can talk about me when I'm about 5 feet away from them and assure themselves that I can't hear what their saying about me. Do they think that because I'm shy, I'm deaf?

My teacher basically screamed at me and threatened to give me a zero because I couldn't find a partner to do an assignment with. I'm too shy to go around the room and ask every single person if they have a partner. I almost cried in class because of his lack of understanding and how he...

At least twice a day I'm asked "Why are you so quiet?" or "Why don't you say something?" If I'm fortunate enough not to be asked either question, it'll be "Your so quiet." or "You haven't said anything." How should I respond to these type of comments and questions? As bad as it sounds, I want...

If I wasn't shy would I even be the same person? I don't know, I was just thinking about how dramatic some of my classmates lives are. Do I really want that? I mean, I hate being shy, I feel like I'm missing out. Do we think that being shy is bad because unshy people believe that it is? If...

I'm not sure about whether it was or not cause I've had some really awkward conversations with people but anyway this one was defintely very embarssing! :oops: I'm sitting in class reading my book and the guy in front of me turns around with his hands over my desk and continues to play some...

I love shopping for clothes! But when I get up to the cash register I get so nervous that I always mess up and give the wrong amount to the cashier. I turn bright red when they tell me that I'm a dollar or two off and I feel totally stupid and I'm sure that they think that I'm uneducated or...

I recently noticed this guy in my english class. He is SO cute. He doesn't seem to talk much either. Like when the class is out of control and everyone's moving seats and laughing obnoxiously with their friends, he's sitting at his desk on the opposite side of the room all alone, like me. I...

It's getting me nowhere. I'm going to end up a complete loser, who goes home with mommy and daddy the moment after I'm handed my high school diploma at graduation. I'll go home to watch 10 hours of television while at the same time thinking about how everyone else is out partrying, enjoying...

At school now I pretty much only have one good friend. I mean I have people to talk to (but not much) in every class, but we don't really talk outside of class, so their more like aquaintances. Anyway so I spend more time with this one friend than anybody else and I'm afriad that she's going to...

I was taking a math quiz today and once I realized I was the only one still taking it, I started to get really nervous. Once I finished taking it, I even agonized having to go up to turn in my paper. The room was silent and all eyes were on me, on my way up to turn it in. After I added my...

Okay this has been happening to me a LOT lately. I'll get up from my seat to sharpen my pencil or get a piece of paper, and I'll come back and some creep will be in it. The first time this happened I asked the guy "May I please have my seat back?" He's a jock with such a big ego and he's like a...

Does anyone else find themselves in situations where you can't think of anything to say, so the person your talking to (well in this case not talking to, lol) can't think of anything to say, so neither of you are saying anything? Then you feel guilty afterwards, because you feel as though it's...

This is a little strange, but I've been thinking about the past several years a lot lately. I've been extremely shy my whole life, but somehow I've gotten myself to do things, that if given the chance to do now, I would totally avoid. In 8th grade, I ran for secretary. I had to hang up posters...

I honestly don't even know where to begin. :( I doubt anyone will even understand what I'm trying to say, unless they read my post over a few times, but um, here it goes. So last night I was at my dad's house. Me, my brother, sister, mom, and dad all in the living room, watching Rent for the...

Okay, this sound inmature but I just spent the evening pretending to be someone I'm not, interviewing people on chatrooms. I asked several teenagers (the same age as myself, only presumably louder) what their views were on shy people. Half the time, I feel as though I could have talken to a...
