Why Is This So Hard?
The same happens in corporate meeting rounds. You start preparing how to introduce yourself. "Hello I am X Y, I work as ABC....No: hello, X Y my name, currently working on ABC. No. Ok, still two people before I need to go. Wait, why is the person next to me leaving the room? Everyone eyeing me now? Oh, It is my turn..." – "Herrg Err Err, I X Y am, uh, er, working also here, yes, er, thank you."
Missed Opportunities And All That Regret Afterwards
It took a year of offering to get my son's girlfriend to accept my offers of after school snacks- in contrast, his best (male) friend knows where I keep the rice cakes that I buy just for him. I was the kid that would be dying of hunger at friend's houses- I hate to think that our guests are uncomfortable in any way
Simple Questions Are So Hard To Ask
Sometimes People Think You're Arrogant Or Cold
As If School Life Wasn't Hard Enough
When Is Talking Not Awkward? Sometimes I Can't Tell
I quite often sit there going "ok it's too late now" "well it's DEFINITELY too late now" "damn I could have said something but its been 2 days so maybe not"
So many of them are relatable...
I can so relate to all of these as a child - then they inventet the internet
I used to be like that. Hated group works at school. But I'm getting older and I don't give a s$&t anymore! Now, I care those who are shy because I know how they think and feel.
Same same! As I got older I just felt no point in caring that much anyways and say whatever I always wanted to say. But definitely I knowvl how it feels to be that shy/quiet person
Indeed! It passes with time. I was the same way. Now, I could get on stage in front of hundreds of people and make a speech, if needed. I just don't care anymore what others might think.
Same here! I am still a bit shy, but I've gotten rid of plenty of f*cks over the years.
Relatable. I've worked very hard to get better and less awkward and to appear less weird to people but it's hard. It shouldn't be, just open my mouth and say something, but it is and I hate it. All you fellow shy people out there; Don't give up!
