I feel weird doing things that most people dont even think about 1. using washrooms. I avoid them if Im with other people and it takes me a while to pee if someone else is in the room 2. asking questions/clarifications. I dont like interrupting people, or Im afraid I will make a fool out of...

usually I dont share my opinions with people, especially large groups, not b/c I don't have them, but b/c I dont articulate myself well. in my head I know exactly what I want to say about something, I feel mad when things I disagree with are being said and people are agreeing without hearing...

do you have more confidence in your appearance or your intellect? i know I'm intelligent, but I still lack confidence in it. I also don't think Im very pretty. actually sometimes I look in the mirror and wish I didnt know me. I have very low confidence in my appearance, and this affects my...

Im going to a wedding for the first time in the spring. all I know about them is that people drink and dance a lot well I dont drink so Im not really optimistic about "loosening up" and I never dance either. I wont really know anyone at the wedding either. I want to go though just so Ican see...

do any other nondrinkers sometimes get the urge to drink just so they can spill all their problems out? I would never want to turn to alcohol to fix my problems but sometimes i feel like getting pissed and making a fool out of myself would make me more outgoing and at least get me one night of...

Ive seen that a lot of my social awkwardness comes from going out of my way to be nice to people. I;ll try to be kind and generous and people will look at me either suspiciously or confused and Ill stumble over myself. it sucks because here I am trying to be a nice person and I end up making...

people who are not in relationships often list all the benefits of being single. these usually include being free to go on dates with many people, free to go out whenever he/she wants, no commitment, more time for partying, etc etc etc but none of these apply to me! I dont get asked out, I dont...

I was with three friends today who started talking about their plans for the weekend and I was just completly left out of them. It hurts enough knowing the don't even consider me when i'm not around...but I was standingright there! they talked about who they were going to invite all excitedly...

Im really insecure about my smile so I dont do it a lot. I try to look like Im busy with something all the time, or in a rush, so people dont approach me. the other day I went into a shop to get breakfast and the guy behind the counter said "you have a beautiful smile, you should show it more"...

rather than trying to open up to friends and let them know im suffering I keep everything inside. if my feelings are hurt, I dont say anything, and if I do, I tell them I dont care. if you don't care about things you arent going to be disappointed. sometimes I'll lie to myself and say I don't...

do you think the internet helps you or hurts you? in a way it helps me because I've made friends and have a place to talk about feelings I usually wouldnt. in the short term it keeps me from going crazy but I also think that maybe if I didnt rely so much on the internet I would be more...

if youre like me, youre way too shy for many people to crush on you, ask you out, etc etc. it doesn't happen often and when it does it's a big deal. have you ever found yourself more attracted to someone after finding out they are interested in you? do you think by being so eager to accept this...

sometimes I feel really out of place in public. I'll approach someone or be approached by someone and I have trouble looking them in the face. I feel like I shrink in size, age, and importance, like they're the dominant ones. they don't need to be unkind or threatening for me to feel this way...

I'm a big music lover and I'd love to go to live shows but I don't think I could go with my friends. What do people do at concerts? Dance, scream, clap, jump around. I probably wouldn't do any of this. I went to a concert last summer with two other people but we had seats so we sat and didn't...

I have a huge crush on someone I know only online. He lives hundreds of miles away and the chances of us having a relationship are very slim. I really want to meet him. I've told him I'm shy and not as confident as I come off online, and he says he thinks I show him the real me and that it will...

I usually don't like getting attention but its a basic human need to crave it every once in a while. But because people don't expect me to ask for help with anything it makes it very difficult for me to get any. I'm ashamed of needing support of any kind. I feel like I should be able to care of...

Hey all. I stumbled across this place a couple hours ago and browsed the forums a little before joining. I really like the way it looks so far. I've been feeling really lonely lately, and am too shy/insecure to really express myself to anyone, so what better place than an internet forum filled...
