Hey,
I just joined this group today. I guess it's reassuring to know that
there are other people out there who feel the same way as I do. It
never seems like it though, everyone I know is so confident, or at
least acts like it. I hate being shy, it really restricts my life.
I've been shy and had no self-esteem all my life, so I haven't
really had the most enjoyable childhood. Last year was my final year
of highschool, and I think it's kind of sad that I was so glad when
it was over, and I don't really have many fond memories.
I don't know what to do but I know I don't want to feel like this
for the rest of my life.
I feel like I have progressed a little bit, but for every step I
take foward it's like I take two steps back. It just pisses me off
when people tell me not to be shy, like it's that easy.
I might have a look for that book...
