I’m An Incredibly Shy Person So I Made These 8 Comics To Show What It’s Like

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."

I always feel my heart beats super fast when it's my turn. And when I finish, I sweat like hell --> feel even more embarassed =.=

Me at school

My last name is hard to pronounce, the teachers always struggle and they end up saying the first letter of my last name

I went thru this so many times.

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

So true!! Plus it’s a challenge because I’m such a hypocrite about this because I’ll deny myself food until I practically pass out if I’m at a new friends house etc, but then INSIST that other people have to eat because I don’t want them to get hungry...

I've done this, not so much because I'm shy but because my stepfather drilled it into us not to accept "charity" from anyone. And charity meant ANYTHING you did not personally work for and buy yourself, which meant not eating at a friend's house.

Isn't this very unpolite...? xD

totally me

this has happened to me so many times

My latest feat on that field is work-related questions(not even the "how do I do this?" but rather the "what is it that needs done here exactly?" kind of questions which are not just legitimate but welcome usually) and 2 hours self-coaxing I have to do every time before asking one XD I think I'm improving though, more like 1 hour now

Ok. This? This right here, just made me realize how much of a shy person I REALLY am!😫😂

Me.

He, in my country, we grab stuff without asking.... and many instead of returning it just put it inside their purses.

I have always been exactly like this. Most of the time, people find me unfriendly and weird. I have almost no friends. I wish people knew that I was just shy but always willing to give a hand when they need help :'(

And I have reccuring thoughts about my talkative nature!

My whole life is this. And let's not forget when we're in the bathroom and over hear girls talking about how stuck up you are and that "she thinks she's so much better than everyone". When in fact you have NEVER said that (or anything for that matter) or thought that. Actually the opposite- but if that's the way they talk about and judge you when you say NOTHING! Why the F*ck would you ever open your mouth to let those people know you?

People used to think I was a snob. But they loved me when it came to Hide n' Seek and any other game that required silence

The last 3 frames is pretty much anyone/everyone who practices the least bit of introspection.

This is so me. Sometimes I even pretend being 'suddenly' ill so I don't have to greet them in person >.<

My WHOLE childhood!!

Yes

This doesn't happen to me actually. Whenever my step parents have guests over, they always force me to sit at the dining table with them. Normally our guests are adults so it's not too bad.

totally me when i was in school

I was always given either no task or the least liked task.

The three most hated words in my whole school history.. PLEASE FORM GROUPS.

quick shoutout to the one friend that would always let me pair with her

Add to this also polite behaviour, like, waiting for the person to let them finish because you don't want to interrupt their talking, and there you go! Mute forever. *sigh*

I am like this at my in-laws' ALL THE TIME! They never shut up. I've gotten much better over the past 17 years at speaking out, but they often still ignore me (sometimes because I'm too quiet), or they ignore that I'm actually giving them the answer/information they're looking for/wondering about as their conversation. They do this latter one with my husband too, constantly! It's not our faults that we're both geeky nerds (or would it be nerdy geeks?) and they nearly all come across as air heads. \OO/

Especially kids when they're near adults

when people talk, I seldom join them

I'm not shy, i just don't give a horse.

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"

these are so perfect

I never realized how exhausting being shy could be!!

I can relate!

cute
