[QUOTE=The golden;17924074]I hate it when people say: "Just do it". It's not that fucking easy. If it was, don't you think we would have done it by now?[/QUOTE]
It actually is. I was / still am extremely shy, but when people say "go against your fear" they're giving you the best possible advice. The more you ignore that stupid little part of your brain telling you that you'll look dumb / lame / whatever the fuck you're worried about the more you'll loosen up, the more you're going to be able to talk to people, and the more fun you'll have.
No one likes a stiff. Don't worry so much about looking stupid and just chill out. Eventually the fear will wear off in grades. Soon you'll be able to play a small group of people fucking easily
(crowds are still a bitch though)

ps girls are way easier to talk to than dudes. w/ dudes you have to put in equal effort
get them started on one thing and they won't shut up about it. you don't even have to offer input, just ask questions
I get nervous about the most mundane tasks. (Such as calling people)
I asked a lady if I could walk with her under her umbrella for a few metres because there was this horrible flash rain.

Badass.

I never call without a reason. Calling and asking about how it's been and how nice the sun shines seems to pointless to me.
And it's wrong that I think like that since random contact is good.
I have anxiety. My heart POUNDS LIKE FUCK Like I've ran 10 miles. (Yet I'm only sat on the sofa).
Real men use their head instead of a calculator.
Even realer mean use their cock instead of their head. :cool:

I can imagine me whipping out my cock, putting it on the paper, and yelling "ALRIGHT LETS DO THIS" in the middle of science class.
I used to be really shy, then I guess I just grew out of it, because now I'm one of the most outgoing people in my school. Just push yourself to not be shy.

Just don't think about things. Act impulsively and you won't worry about it.
Maybe not the best course of action, but stopping and thinking makes you think "oh noes."

Not necessarily. Think before you speak. Otherwise you'll end up saying something that sounds funny or nice at first, and then you realize after saying it it was literally the dumbest or cruelest think you've ever said.
Sometimes when I walk near older (like 2 year or so) people I dont know I get teary eyed.
I got raped by a Retard

[QUOTE=Valdor;17924064]Just stare at her until she notices that you are staring, then glance at the calculator and back at her.
Repeat until she gets it, no words needed.[/QUOTE]

Alcohol's your solution bro, reduce those inhibitions.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhm
what
[QUOTE=FFStudios;17924019][b]Yeah, I read through the GD rules. No, this isn't in violation of any of them[/b]
For some reason I get really shy and nervous for absolutely no reason. For example, I was in science today and I needed a calculator. The girl next to me was using a calculator and I got really nervous asking for it.
It's annoying as fuck because it inhibits my "man" function to just go out and do crazy shit. Does anyone else feel like this/have a solution? Good lord it's for no reason.[/QUOTE]
I'm not shy per se, I'm actually pretty social...that is, if the current conversation pertains to something I'm generally interested in. Unlike most people I know, I don't just blurt out things either because I think it sounds cool or because it's a spur of the moment thing. I really just think about "should I say it? Why?"
But then there's those times when I'm just hyper as fuck.
But to be more direct, it's nothing unusual. On the contrary, if you're a very, [i]very[/i] social person (as in, thinking everyone in your school is your friend which therefore gives you the right to but into their conversations left and right), then I'd worry.

Sounds like social anxiety.

I used to be shy, but at the beginning of freshman year in high school, I broke out of that shell and it was pretty awesome for a few months. Then my mom became schizophrenic and shit started happening. I was confined to my home with no internet, cell phone, or contact with my father for the first half of the summer. (She claimed my father abused her, even though she's been fine and we've been a family for over 15 years now, even went as far as bruising herself - on the night of my english final presentation, it ended with a restraining order, which somehow applied to us as well. Also, the DA never actually charged my father with the case). Pretty much in that time period I ended up wrapping myself back up into that shell. Halfway into the summer, there was a court and we were allowed to contact our father. We were given visitation rights, and eventually custody was (until the next court hearing) split 50/50, 1 week with my dad, 1 week with my mom. It's been like that for the last few weeks of summer and up until now.
If any of you are familiar with the law, and you know what a 730 Evaluation is, then you know what I did 2 weekends ago (a 450-question personality assessment test that takes about 3 hours) and what I will be doing tomorrow (talking about my parents and making sure points in my parents documents are correct). The next hearing was supposed to be in November, but our appointment was rescheduled 3 times because my mom kept on "forgetting" to pay the fee associated with it, so the court date was pushed back into 2010, mid january or so.
I've been trying to get myself back out of that shell, but I find I space out too often, usually thinking about something relating to my parents or the court and I'm generally not as excited about things as I used to be. Half the time I am just anxiously waiting for this entire thing to be over. So you could say that the greater part (if not all of) 2009 sucked ass for me. I wait on my mom's weeks for my dad's week, and I hate the end of my dad's weeks...
Also, I upgraded my desktop 2 months before school ended, the last week of school my mom managed to haul it out of the house, then I got it back 3 weeks before school started, so I never really got to enjoy the new ugprades over the summer, and I ended up cramming a ton of gaming in those few weeks, but it still didn't quite make up for all the time wasted over the summer and all the shit I had to deal with.
If anyone's wondering, it's my mom's week, and I'm on an iphone's data tether. I have to wait until next monday to install Windows 7 :(
[B]tl;dr[/B] - I used to be shy, not so much for my freshman year, then a nasty divorce between my parents crushes whatever efforts I've made and possibly makes it worse.
Didn't mean to write so much, sorry if I did, pisses me off how I got screwed over like that. :v:

Get out.
Picture on the girl and we will judge if you should be shy or not.
it used to happen to me, im controlling it Nao
If you're a teenager you could just be insecure. simple as that.
I get shy asking anyone for anything and my eyes water D: Its hard to do anything.
