I'm shy and it's frustrating too, but not because I don't have a life. Technically, everybody has a
life, even you. What's frustrating is that people seem to have the need to talk to me A LOT, which
gets annoying really fast. Especially when it's those preps that think they're doing some kind of
charity work by talking to you. I wish people would understand that not only do I not like talking,
I want to be left alone. |

Absolutely, shyness leads to hypocrisy and selfishness |

I completely agree. I was extremely shy when I was younger and I still am a little now.
Unfortunately i've had quite a few unpleasant experiences due to my shyness. I was always a target
for teachers who were looking for people to pick on in class and many people have moaned about the
fact that i'm not very talkative.
There are many people who are naturally shy, and there's nothing wrong with it at all. I refuse to
let people get me down just because they don't like the fact that i'm a quiet person. If I was any
different then I wouldn't be me. I don't aspire to be like anyone else because I am who I am and
that's what's important.
The best way to tackle shyness is to try and take up a job or hobby that will help you gain
confidence. I broke out of my shyness a little when I went to college, as I was doing a course that
I enjoyed and found it easy to talk to other people on my course because we were all doing the same
subject, so we had something in common.
You shouldn't feel like you have no life. As I said, i've been shy for a long time and although i'm
not as bad now there are still moments when it gets me down. You just have to enjoy life and try not
to bother about what anyone else thinks. The most important thing is whether or not you are happy! I
hope you are! |

I agree, it must be awful to be shy, however, I don't think you are shy Kitten. You have put forward
some very interesting debates. The one about aliens was great. Did you know that your story appeared
in 'The Sun' the following day. And, it was quite a story, too. The thing about being shy is that
you sometimes think about what everybody else is going to think or say about you. The main thing to
remember is: "If they're not talking about you, you're not living," say what you feel, and what you
think, if you are wrong, fair play, one can always improve. But keep your debates coming, they are
very topical, and interesting. |

It must be frustrating. And sorry you feel you have no life at the moment.
Things will change.
This sight appears to be a great forum to interact with others. It is bound to build confidence and
develop character.
You can pick and choose topics and begin to recognize those who make fair comments and remarks.
Hope this helps, and any questions please feel free. |

"Society" by definition favors social behaviors and thus "shy" people tend to get pushed to the side
or stepped on. Don't lose heart, usually it's harder when you're adolescent and after you grow up
and have had your choice of education, type of work, etc., you can carve your own nitch of
comfortable interaction and be respected for your chosen contribution to society.
I also want to point out "shy" is not a weakness it's just a difference. I'll point out that
Aspergers, MCDD, and other autistic spectrum conditions can manifest in part as shyness and
sometimes those people will have some very high functioning talents the general population does not
have. Also many cultures we've revered through the ages, like some of the Native American tribes,
were notorious for behaviors we'd now call shy. And finally, for those of you who are religious,
remember "The meek will inherit the earth". |

It does not really matter. Just be whoever you are. What have you got to lose? |

No.
Because introverts are Thinkers and Contemplators.
This, is a good thing, not a fault.
Quiet persons personalities are very refreshing to be around.
Loud obnoxious people? Not good companions at all.
I disagree. |

I am also shy, but it does not frustrate me. I am happy with my life. I do not think that I do not
have a life. I do things my own way and that is what makes me happy. I like being shy and it rarely
frustrates me. On the contrary, it makes me a better person. There is nothing wrong with being shy. |

I'm shy, but I don't really mind. I'm not drawn to other people as much as some, so it's not that
much of a problem for me. I would say I have a life, although other people might disagree. Anyway,
I'm happy with the way I am.
I can see how it might be if you are inclined towards other people, though. |
