Hi, just found this forum and thought it looked pretty good. I'm a fairly shy 16 year old lad, and thought I'd sign up tonight.
I wouldn't say I'm shy constantly. I am very confident around my mates and fairly confident with people in general but my problem was confirmed, sort of, tonight.
Basically I've been to a 'party' tonight and I wouldn't say it was fun, at all. My mate and I left early due to the boredom but it was what I was told inside that worried me in a way.
I'm not a heavy drinker and a girl came over to me, not good looking btw lol, and she'd had 'too much' lol. I knew her kind of but the conversation was really dry and I struggled to talk to her and I think because she was a bit pissed didn't help. Or did it? Because later that night another girl came over to me and she was pissed and more in your face, and I really struggled to reply. Then she asked " Why do you never talk to girls?" and this is the reason why I have registered.
It worried me. I personally believe I talk to girls but not a lot. I currently like a girl and find it so easy to chat to her, strangely. After reading in another thread about how sarcasm may be a barrier for shy people, I have to agree yet disagree. I am sarcastic but do it as a joke, quite a lot. I do it when I'm with my mates loads however, yet again, when I'm around some girls, I struggle to be my sarcastic self lol. I'm not sure when or whether I should be.
Thanks for reading anyway, if you have... :wink:
