Is it normal to be this shy?

Im an extremely shy person. I can't look people in their face when they talk to me. I always look down at my shoes or look at the wall or something. I especially get extra shy when a pretty girl is talking to me. I was in school the other day and this girl messing with me in class. She said that i was cute and that she had a good time with me the night before and that she wanted me to get her pregnant. I dont know why but i was completely embarrassed by what she had said because half the class heard her. Im not used to getting any attention from girls especially from one that wants me to get her pregnant. I never met this girl a day in my life. My heart was racing because im always being ignored and overlooked by girls because a few told me that my shyness and how quiet i am is a complete turn off. I mean,im so quiet that people usually forget that im in the room. Anyway, is it normal to be this shy?? And is it really that big of a turn off??

      I think she is 100% serious when she says these things. I can tell when ppl are just messing around with me and i dont feel that she is joking. I think she may be a lil off or just crazy. I may be crazy too bcuz oddly enough im starting to feel something for her. I asked her to stop but she keeps doing it. She really freaks me out to the point where i hate going to that class.

    It's normal to be that shy.
    My own classmates didn't notice me because I was too shy to talk. For most of them, I didn't even exist. It's fine to be that shy but eventually, you have to get over that. It won't help you out if you become too shy to do things on your own.

    Start looking at people in the eyes. Don't look down. Feel more confident in yourself. Sooner or later, you'll notice a lot of other things than feeling your embarrassment for the majority of the time.

    Pregnant? Heavens to Betsy! It's normal to be shy, though.

    i hate being shy. Im only shy when it comes to meeting new people. Mostly cute girls. I hated when girl talks to me and like i only answer the question but i dont keep the conversation going. She looks at me and thinks im cocky or that im thinking that im to good 4 dem. When really im just wory about wat im goin to say next, i dont want to say something stupid.

    Im the one that wrote this story. So im in class today and the same girl starts bothering me again. She started rubbing my back and asking why i moved my desk to the other side of the room away from her. She then says that "you shouldn't act like that to your baby mama." she really freaked me out when she said i better check myself or i won't be getting any tonight. I cant stress it enough that i have never been with her. In fact, im still a virgin. I NEVER had any. She's very pretty but creepy at the same time. Im very confused bcuz i think im starting to have feelings for her. Maybe it bcuz i never had a girl do any of this stuff to me and i dont know how to process it the right way

      I would be annoyed.
      Tell her to fuck off.

    I've always been really shy too. In fact I'm so shy that I've never had a boyfriend because on the rare ocassion when a guy does show interest in me and talks to me I'm looking for the nearest exit. I've let several chances at relationships fall though my hands because of my damn shyness. I really hate myself because of it.

    If a girl is shy, it's absolutely normal and kind of adorable. For a guy, it's pretty much the worst trait you can have - trust me, I know.

    Of course, it depends on how old you are. I guess, since you still go to school, time will change your character. And it needs to change, because a shy boy is still acceptable, but a shy grown man is just disgusting.

    I think shyness is a beautiful attribute in a person. Don't try to fit into what society dictates to be a 'preferable personality type'. I have found many shy people to be gentle and kind people, at least those who have not let societies judgments on them make them angry. You are perfect just the way you are. Once you accept that you may find that you can be at peace in the presence of other people. Your inner happiness may even make you appear to be confident and outgoing :-) x
