Is it normal to be so shy?

I am 21 years old and I have never been in a serious relationship. I have messed around with a few guys but when it comes to sharing a deep emotion or being who I am I get painfully shy and self conscious. I don't feel like I can be my self in front of others. (Only a select few) And there is nothing that I am ashamed of about myself. When I try I become really awkward. Even people I've known pretty well for a couple years, people i should be closer to, I'm not. And these are people I like and respect.

    Don't worry you will find that special people to open up to.

    Insecurity is a horrible thing but it can be cured

  • There has only been one person I could be completely myself with. Just being around him made me realize I was somebody. I was more than this shy, nervous, sad girl I'd always been and only knew. We grew apart, romantically speaking, but I will never forget what he's done for me. If it weren't for him I might not have even been alive to type this. Some people you meet you just click with. They teach you things and show you things at what seems perfect timing.
