Getting past my shyness.

I Have been very quiet for my entire high school life, and because of this people have accepted me as the quiet one. However recently (past year or so) this has begun to bother me an I have realised just how much of a lonely place I have put myself. However, being labelled as quiet for so many years means people rarely speak to me and when they do it is brief. Is this normal?

  • I'm quiet around people I don't know, but once I do get to know them then I start talking.

    It seems like for me I stay quiet usually because I wonder if what I want to say is odd.

    yep, i'm in the same situation too! last time, i used to think, when i enter secondary school (or high school), i'm gonna change. but spending so many years being the 'quite' girl, it's really hard to change. so now i just accept it.

    Yeah, I suppose you could say it's normal. Lot's of people can relate. I can anyway. However, it can be painful. You can talk to me if you want. I'm not much of a talker though.

    This is completely normal!
    I'm EXACTLY the same way, i've always been quiet. I don't have a lot of friends but i do have some friends. But a lot of peopel won't talk to me because i'm known as quiet. I'm not really sure how to fix it though /: i wish i knew how. I guess we need to just step out of our box and become a little more outgoing!
