For a few months, I've been pretty down. This is because I didn't know if I was gay. Sounds silly, no? I've never wanted anything but the opposite sex, but this doubt persisted. I spent hours analyzing my past from a third person perspective, and making assumptions about it, instead of remembering why I was the way I was (and still am, though to a lesser extent).
About 5 minutes ago, I decided to look up love-shyness, as I've seen it mentioned on these forums before. I found a pretty good article on the subject: Love shyness: the 'condition' crippling men - Times Online
It describes me shockingly well. I hid my two girlfriends from my parents until I either needed a ride, or until someone else answered the phone when she called.
I've already been improving. No point in letting life go by while holding myself back. I worked up the courage to talk to a girl. I only did so after I was certain she was interested, but that's still progress.
Anyone else like this?
