    Fortunately for you, this is something you can change, without surgery, medication or doctors.

    hi shy guy, I can totally relate, if you knew me in real life you'd think no way was this girl ever shy but truth is I was soooo shy! I would only talk to my parents and older brothers and that was it. Would I talk to my family members? nah, I liked not talking. I don't know why I was ever shy but once I started feeling kinda left out of things I had to speak up even though it was dreadful. Once I hit high school I was normal as you can say but getting over my shyness was difficult and I had to do it all alone. So if you're thinking wow I need to change well change. It's a mind over matter thing here. Now when I see somebody who is super shy, being as that I'm in college now and like making new friends, i'll go talk to the shy guy, somebody has to.

    Same. Except... I'm a girl. I'm not very shy because I'm anonymous, but I am. I can't seem to have eye contact, my projection is low... I sometimes try to speak, but nothing comes out... :(

    But, you're not alone! :D

    I'm the same way. I have problems looking people in the face when I speak to em. Or talking to groups or strangers. I almost had a heart attack at my public speaking class. But I front for my band all the time in front of huge crowds and it doesn't botherme. Idk. That helped me come out of my shell a bit. My advice, besides ststarting ur own band, get out there with ur friends,socialize with as many strangers as ppossible. Exposure therapy is what the doctor ordered. Soon enough you'll be right as rain.
