Just me

Posted by RokkuRii on 9/26/2008 12:09:00 AM

I'm such a shy person, unless I really know you. I always wonder how people around me can easily say how they think and feel. I can't do that. Not really. =\. In school, I always hate having group work. I won't really speak to my classmates unless they are my friends. I can't even talk to my teachers because I'm so shy.. And if a teacher talks to me individually, my eyes start tearing up. I can't help it. A part of me is always hiding and that won't ever change..

I was the same way, when I was your age, until I was 'forced' to take a speech class in high school. 'Forced' by way of it being a requirement. I was terrified at the beginning of that semester, let me tell you! But by the end, I was so grateful that I had to go through that. It forced me out of my shell, and I've been outgoing ever since. (I'm in my 30's now.) I'd recommend it for you too, if speech is an option.

The best way to overcome our fears is to face them. I hold that saying true even now when I get nervous about something. It builds confidence to push through those fears. I wish you the best.

Try (if your old enough) get a job working with people like in a supermarket or something. It helped me alot. It makes talking to people seem so much more natural. As for the tearing up thing, i get it too when talking to strangers! it so annoying!

It does depend on the school.. like in my middle school there were no big character in my year, everyone knew everyone..and so i was pretty outgoing.
in secondary school there are a lot of big characters.. and they did intimidate me..
But then you realise that the big characters are sluts..

And they will end up workin in MC Donalds..

You don't have to be the loudest.. just try and be a bt more comfortable with strangers.

I was very shy like you growing up. Your tearing up means that you are sensitive. That is not a bad thing if youre female. If you are male, you will find alot of girls like that in a guy. In time you will open up when you have something to say. Its hard to participate in a class but I will bet you know what they are talking about. Most people who are shy are great listeners, and can grow up to be wonderful people in a profession who cares for people. Doctors, therapists, and psychiatrists have all started as listeners and probably shy as a young adult. Dont worry...you will bloom. Until then do go ahead and journal your thoughts, and when around people...just listen...you will be fine...

It's hard for someone who is quiet to start participating in class. But the first step for you is to express how you feel. Maybe not out loud, but writing what you feel at that moment, you can bitch, you can write a poem about how stupid writing your feelings are, but express yourself.

You are the one who decides if you want to change. Take baby steps and you'll be running as soon as you realize it. (:
