Why am i so shy?

I think I have a mild case of paranoia or whatever. I keep thinking everyone is conspiring against me!! >=O so im like the kid in the corner when your at a party or something >.>;;
Its not cool, then after the party or whatever, im just like what the...

f*ck IM SO WHACKITY WHACK... then I get sad =( when anyone talks to me im like o_o;;; (silent) then they think I am ignoring them which I guess I am because I cant seem to talk! ._. ;

I am the same.. I can talk to people though
dont feel that way. I dont no why:S im so show as I am!
it is not your fault
it just must be the way we are!
ok goodluck

I use to be super shy too...and it is no fun!!! It feels kinda like stage fright, but you are not on a stage...right? There will come a time where you will get sick of being silent and want to be heard, and then you will overcome your paranoia...I did...so you can too.

from experience, I'd say it's just an age thing! do you hang out with shy people? do you have a real interest in people? typically if you hang out with people who really enjoy being around others, you will become more like them. if you hang with shy people, you tend to be shy. or maybe your parents raised you to be "seen" and not "heard"! are your parent's shy? (I'm guessing you're still in school)

no matter because it's just a phase. you'll become less shy with age unless you are a true introvert. you'll learn to stand up for yourself when you're being made a fool and the older you get and the more knowledge you feel you have about "things" in general, the more likely you are to come out of your shell. you are probably somewhat insecure in some way or another and feel that other people are smarter and prettier and better than you for one reason or another. if you are just "insecure", then you have to first figure out what it is you are insecure about then fix it! (easier said than done - but you have to try if you don't like being left in the corner feeling like a misfit).

generally speaking...you grow out of it sooner or later! being young was not easy for anyone! most of us were insecure at one time or another.

um no I actually...welll...sort of isolate myself from others by keeping hm...an emotionless kind of face most of the time b/c I think other peeps talk about me but not like they know much about me and not directly but like kinda like this kinda phrase 'wow I heard about some emo loser in our school, fffing loser, im glad im so cool' or someting -_- I dont think im emo >=O but apprarently some other asswipes do. and yes I have been on stage before, it was hard to breathe and omg I did stupid stuff on stage and they have it recorded so ... -___-

I'm kinda the same. I'm so crazy and silly w/ my friends, but around like new people and cute guys, I can'y breath or talk and whenever I hear laughter, I think it's about me, so I always have 2 check myself(lol). everyone who kinda doesn't know the real me thinks I'm a shy, innocent, silent bookworm. try talking to someone new. it can get you places. that why I dont just have 1 type of friend.

Yeah me too! I'm a completely different person at home and with my family. My friends know I'm different with them too. Also whenever I hear someone laughing I always think it's about me too. Then I suddenly look at them to see if it is about me and obviosly they look at me because I just randomly looked at them which makes me think it IS about me. It sounds so stupid but it's hard to get rid of. Like if someone says something in class and I think of something funny to shout out that I know they will laugh at, I just have to keep it in my head because if I suddenlly shout something out, they'll laugh but then realise it's me and be like "whoa, you spoke" and then I'll go red because all the attention's on me lol. It sounds really gay but I can't help it.

I hope people who are shy get over it and can be theirselves around anyone. =)

I never thaught I would post on a site like this but this is starting to worry me... ok I know im not a bad looking person and other then that I got girls hitting on me a lot. buti have or had almost all the problems you guys mentioned. im shy paranoid and I have like this 2 month grace period before I open up its weird and im bored of it ... honestly im tired of this. time for a change

I was really shy to but I think a lot of shyness has to do with ones self it might be you're not comfortable with your body or w/e it can be many things but you have to build up confidence in yourself before you can talk to others confidently and openly without feeling like you have to hide.

maybe that will help you some I use to be really shy too but I don't think anyone would consider me shy now haha
