Too shy

LOWER YOUR STANDARDS... YOU FEEL SHY BECAUSE WHEN YOUR DESPERATE A 6 FEELS LIKE A 10 AND IT IS HARDER WHEN YOU CRAVE IT SO MUCH... GO F*CK A NASTY ONE AND WORK YOUR WAY UP

If you think the underlying reason is because you are self-conscious, then I have some advice. If not, then ignore.
Do things that you are good at. Overcome obstacles just so you can feel like a stronger person. find something, anything, and excell the hell out of it, it will give you a platform to feel equal to the people you have trouble interactng with. And when you get in an uncomfortable social position, and think "WHY THE HELL DID I SAY THAT" or "should I have held her gaze longer" you can easily see that you have just as much worth as they do (even if it is superficial at first) and bounce back in a minute. After a while it just becomes natural and you don't need "fallback thoughts"

Are you only shy with females? or everyone? When I was in middle school, I was the same way with guys. I had braces and big round glasses so I felt like the most unattractive person in the world. I felt self conscious and shy around males because they showed no interest in me, but they showed no interest in me because I was self concious and shy. You have to escape this horrible cycle! Luckily I escaped it by a physical transformation. Lost the braces, got contacts, started wearing makeup, grew boobs, and before I knew it, I felt attractive! And the guys responded, which fueled my confidence. Do something to boost your confidence. Invest a little time or money in your appearance and it can make a world of difference. This might sound like superficial advice, but it changed my life. Mostly the braces, it was HUGE. I can smile confidently now, and I think it was worth every penny.

Find someone you really like then you won't be shy anymore, just act yourself

I'm shy too. But it gets better with time.

I always been shy until one day I got really tired of it, I'm not shy at all anymore, the best thing to do is ignore it and act normal, I know that's the hardest thing in the world to do, but after a while you'll get use to it, I've learned that when your shy no one knows it but if you show your shyness they will, I swear to God that's the thing you have to do getting over your shyness. Try it and you'll see. Thank you for putting that out there that your shy i like to help people like you. Thanks again and Good Luck.

Same here but im Female. Idk if
This will go away cuz i try really hard to make it stop and my parents say it will go
Away as i get older

Shit m again late to comment ..huhuhu....i hope ur nt shy anymore n tat u've found a gf

stand up to ur problem, i hav a friend who was so shy, he never talked to ANYBODY, and i mean anybody, either deal with it or just ask a girl u know out, they will understand

Overcoming shyness is a process of learning and practicising.

It is helpful to recognise your internal value. YOU ARE SOMEONE OF GREAT VALUE. Your being shy could be stopping people from getting to know how awesome you are! =D Focus on your positives, build up your self esteem and confidence. If you like yourself, others would follow.

Meeting a lot of new people at once may be an overwhelming experience, so it would probably be wise to meet small numbers at first. It may seem difficult having to interact with people, but you mustunderstand, that this is crucial in overcoming your anxiety. Don't worry, the more you do it, the more experience you gain and the easier it gets! =D

You will make mistakes. But that is okay! Mistakes are only opportunities to learn, so dont avoid them!

Perhaps it would be easier to approach less intimadating people at first, people who seem friendly, or are friends of your friends.

Dont interact with others to impress, an interaction between individuals is a shared experience. You have no obligation to please ththem, you r their for yourself, so enjoy! =)

And the issue with the eye contact: I have found it easier to look at other parts of the person'sface than to look directly into their eyes. Looking at areas close to the eyes will have little difference to direct eye contact to the recipient. But of course, this will depend on the distance between you two, haha.

Hope I didnt drag on for too long, and best of luck!! =)

In a way you have the edge. Some girls love shy men. They're intreging and mysterious. Take your weaknesses and turn them into strengths.

im shy too. there's nothing wrong with you. you will find a sweet, loving girl someday. don't worry, don't beat yourself up :)

You might have asperger's syndrome. I have it and your situation sounds similar in the social aspect.

Being shy is normal, I think shy people are deep thinkers because they always try to think about the situation before jumping into it. And sometimes, it's just rude if you keep staring at someone anyway.

Maybe you can ask your friends for help, stare them in the eyes and just start saying random stuff until you don't care what they think. Drinking helps too, makes you not care.

go out get drunk and speak to ladys out there its going to be alot easyer if your drunk but watch out do not drink to much :d

Its normal to be shy. I am recluse thanks to social anxiety sindrome, but you're nto so introverted as I am.

It shouldnt be a problem to you. Just practice, practice and practice more! It's normal!

That's one symptom of Asperger's Syndrome. On its own it means nothing but why not read up on Asperger's and see whether you have any more traits? It might answer a great deal of questions.

self-conscious, big problem, i have it to. Set goals and do them,you'll be proud of your self, you will feel like a bigger person for alittle while. Set a new goal when you start feeling little again.

Do things to make you more confidence. Maybe you need to find yourself and this could be through a hobby, knowing you are good at something makes you feel good about youself and something to show off about. Maybe that's what you need.

Get more social and spend time with close ones, eye contact should come natrally whith people you are comfortable with

you may have aspergers syndrom. look it up

yes, boost your confidence... try to be yourself even its hard for you.. Just chill, forget about anyone. they might think you have some problems if you're too shy..

You probably have Asperger's. Nothing wrong with that, many people have it. You're probably a genius and don't even know it.

Pitbull hit it "on the nose." When you look at the bridge of of someone's nose, It feels to them like your eyes are boring into their brain, and it won't bother you in the least.

it is normal u just have to take a bit of courage face the world, being shy will lower ur capabilities, come on wake up time is gone for sleep now.,

Sweetie. You are going to have to break out of your shell or you won't get far in life. If you wanna stop being shy, just be yourself. Ask your family for advice on how to not be shy or hang out with people you feel comfortable around. Shyness will not get your anywhere. You need to be more outgoing and confident.

Hiya.
Being shy is normal. Try practicing with your friends e.g making eye contact. there is no rush in finding someone, the right one will come along sooner or later.

And if you are reallu stuggling with finding someone, ask your friends to introduce you to new people.

put a bag on your head or talk to people on the phone

ADVICE FROM A 13 YEAR OLD...
hey live life single then. That's okay. You don't NEED a girlfriend/wife, only if you want one. Try reading positive books, poems, ect...that will cure some of your shyness hopefully. Or take up a cool hobby, like guitar! It makes you more confident knowing that you can do something cool lol

Get to know the girl if u realy shy then talk to ur friend to help u out. Go out more often live the real life...

Heres a lil trick look at ppls nose not eyes if u feel wierd.. once u nail the first girl ul feel good about ur self

DON'T LET GIRLS COME TO U FIRST show them u a real man talk to em even if u shy just do it they not gunna kill u......

Hmm, sounds like you might have social anxiety, you can go to the doctor and tell them about it and they'll give you medicine, it actually works pretty good. I have it too and im the same way.

penis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!is good

i was just thinking i was in the same situation, people consider me shy and i cant make eye contact/am nervous talking about personal things... anyway, i decided to do something about it, an it works. just talk loud. ACT like you're not shy. don't let it show, and it'll start coming naturally. talk about easy subjects/ask questions (how was your day, whatd you do this morning, what's your favorite movie, have you ever seen this movie, etc)
