Hi everyone. I'm extremely shy like the other members here. I'm totally comfortable online, but in person? Forget it. It's like night and day and no matter what I do, I can't get past that. Sigh...feeling kind of awkward now. ...

You're in the right place elena.
Why do you think I started the group in the first place (and I suspect a fair few people will be looking at this comment and thinking that I'm a big fat liar), but the truth is I'm so shy it hurts sometimes - and though I AM getting better, with the help of my online friends, in real life I hate social situations and avoid them at all costs.

I can really identify with your feelings. Because of my job, I'm forced outside my comfort-zone and made to be very social. Truth be told...I'm much more happy just hanging out around the house or with my very small group of friends.
Isn't it wonderful that we have this outlet for our alter-egos to come out and play?

yep!
I'm constantly amazed - and often wonder if my inner (internet) self is more the real me than the real-life me... those thoughts can drive you nuts though - what's real and what isn't.

I'm absolutely horrible on the phone, and I totally have to get over my nerves in person too.

For some reason, I am super shy in my Algebra 2 class.. Maybe because I hate my teacher, maybe because I find it boring.. I don't know, but I am shy in there...

I learned that the best way to approach someone is not to tell them stories about how you're crazy. I think that's helpful advice for people who are shy and trying to form social relationships.

Hello, everyone,
If anyone should be here, it's definitely I! I get so at a loss for words with people I don't know. Even online, my shyness is somewhat reflected, though in person, I'd be VERY quiet. I truly wish I wasn't shy, I really would love to become more outgoing and spontaneous. Feeling nervous around people is not a good feeling.
