Yes there is a new person here. After much deliberation I have decided to find people who I can talk to about my problem. Ever since a very young age, its been accounted since I was two, I have been painfully shy. Shy to the point where my stomach turns, my heart will beat irregularly, I will sweat, I will tremble and I will become dizzy and unfocussed. The strange thing is that I am confident in myself and I am not easily embarrassed, at least I haven't been embarrassed by anything except my shyness itself. I have things to say to people but no matter how hard I try to force myself, no words come out. I spent a year in almost total isolation when I got out of highschool where if I had to go to a public place I could be reduced to tears and I would withdraw to a place alone to hide them. Again, I am confident...I know what I like and who I am and I am not suffering from low self esteem. I moved 3000km to go to college and then university to study sociolinguistics and anthropology and I can speak English and fairly decent Swedish which I learned empirically on my own.
In an attempt to help me, my family introduced me to someone who would be going to my college...and I had spent a year working on trying to overcome my social disorientation and anxiety. I met this boy's best friend as well and we have become sort of friends even if I am quiet..I met another friend of theirs though, an attractive person and I cannot speak to him no matter how hard I try.
Any who share the same problems, would you like to share your experiences with the new member or maybe a little bit of advice?
