In my high school days it annoyed me because people would always say I'm antisocial or introverted some other terms that they used were loner etc. you get the point. But my best friends they had a completely different opinion because I would be comfortable enough around them to be myself.
I totally agree on what you said. Everyone is a mixture (I just wish people could have realized that)
I completely agree with you. It was the same for me in high school. I was labeled as "shy", even though I didn't actually feel shy at all and wasn't shy around my friends.
When I was a kid I felt intimidated by a lot of different groups of people. My parents were extremely strict (and a wee bit abusive), so I felt quite uncomfortable around adults. I lived rurally and didn't have neighbours close by, so I didn't have as many opportunities to be around a lot of other kids, except for at school. And of course, like so many young people, I felt intimidated by other kids who were better-looking than me. But I so badly wanted to be really social, it was just that I didn't have the courage or the skills to make it happen yet.
Is it normal to only sometimes be shy?
