xx_Dreamer answered Sunday June 25 2006, 9:43 pm: I'm actually pretty shy, too. Well, sometimes. I've overcome it, pretty much.. I still have my times. I've actually had the feeling that people think i'm stuck up because I don't talk around them [because I don't know them]. I actually got over it by joining my Church drama group [you don't have to join a church drama group, but its fun. maybe school or something] & I joined my schools dance team. It's really fun. & it does help getting over your shyness. Today, 7 of us did a drama infront of about 200 people at Church and I wasn't that shy. So, it's something to get into if you want to get over your shyness. It also helps because now i'm not afraid to go talk to people.
l0v3_abercrombie93 answered Saturday June 24 2006, 4:08 pm: I have a friend that is really shy. Some people do judge her because of it but they dont say uhh shes shy i dont want to hang out with her its more like they think she doesnt like them and is being rude by not talking to them. if you do like a person and want to hang out and be friends with them get their email address you would be more comfterable talking to them online first so when you do hang out with them or see them somewhere you will know them better and you wont come off as rude. hope i helped [ l0v3_abercrombie93's advice column | Ask l0v3_abercrombie93 A Question ]
Nallie answered Saturday June 24 2006, 1:38 am: I've never really been shy, but I didn't have very high self esteem either and I used to be just like you described. Finally after building my confidence in a lot of areas of my life, I quit doing this without even trying. So try building up your self esteem and see if the "paranoia" goes away.
