Question:
I am extremely shy. Sometimes I feel like this is just my personality..Anyone else feel t his way?
It really gets to me at times... like when my boyfriend gets upset that I don't want to take part in social events...I get depressed thinking about it sometimes...I should try therapy but I don't have the money for it. Any suggestions anyone?
Answers:
Some people are just shy, you can't change a shy person to an extrovert any more than you can change an extrovert into a shy person. We are who we are.
As a shy person, maybe you should look for a less sociable boyfriend. Someone who is equally awkward in social situations. That way you minimize those times in the publics eye because you will both try to avoid that.
Example: My uncle is extremely shy, never says much, always quiet. He married a woman who's equally as shy. They've been very happy together quietly living life never bothering anyone. Maybe some people wonder about their timidness but who cares, they're happy because they're the same.
As a shy person myself, I stay away from outgoing woman. They only give me headaches. I'm happiest with a woman who's less sociable, that makes me happy. Now that I'm well into adulthood, I don't worry about being the quiet one at the party anymore, it just doesn't matter.
As far as suggestions? Don't have any. Be who you are and don't worry what other people think.
