Is it normal to be this shy around boys

81% Normal
12 Comments

I am a 19 year old girl and I am VERY shy around boys. The only guys that dont make me shy are literal infants, and my family members.

I am so shy around guys that I never kissed a guy or had a boyfriend, even though I am attracted to guys.

    You know I'm also shy around boys but I'm not only shy around boys but also around children, elders, infants, other GIRLS and even my FAMILY MEMBERS!

        No matter what I do, I know that I can never change myself. I've tried hard before to make myself feel comfortable around people but I really can't. Sometimes I feel like I should die.

          no. you shouldnt die. I used to have really bad shyness around everyone of both genders but now its just guys. people can improve. dont lose hope.

    I have the same problem. I'm going on 44 and have never had a boyfriend either because when a guy does show interest in me (which isn't that often) I tense up and head for the nearest exit because of my extreme shyness. I'm not gay but I wouldn't be surprised if family members thought I was since I'm always single. I find it extremely embarrassing. It sucks being me. I hate my loveless life :(

      I'm somehow feeling very sorry for you :( I'll pray for you so you can find someone with whom you can spent rest of your life. I hope you find someone who will be very loving and caring.

    I know the feeling. My girlfriend had to kiss me eventually after I had been too scared to do so for like a week. So you can either find a guy who's way more confident than you, and will just take the wheel; Or you find a guy who's just as shy as you and you guys take it very slow. Nothing wrong with that. When you really get to know someone and you learn to trust them it becomes a lot easier. You won't have to kiss a stranger.

    You're situation is not that uncommon, it's just that the shy people don't usually talk about it.

    The best part is they'll come to you if you look have decent.

    That's okay, I'm a guy, didn't really have my first kiss or relationship til I was 20. I am also very shy. You're not alone :)

      Did you have your first kiss with a girl?

      I cant see myself being able to kiss someone of the opposite sex even when I am 20.

        Yeah, first kiss was with someone who would shortly after become my first girlfriend. Oddly enough, we had been sharing a bed for a week or two before we shared that kiss.
