Is it normal to be so awkward and insecure?
Is it normal to for me to be so shy and insecure? I am an 18 year old guy,and I exercise very often and have been told many upon many times how wonderful my body is, but even given this knowledge, I can barely even work up the ability to smile and say hi to a girl. I am highly intelligent as well, and hhave been told countless times by others' that is something they wish they had endowed in them, that and my drive to be successful. But it all stems from this intense insecurity.
So is it normal, and will it correct itself over time?
