Hi,
my name is Sara, I live in Australia. It only really just occured to
me recently that I'm painfully shy around people I don't know, which
is somewhat frustrating since how are you supposed to meet new
people when u can barely utter your own name? I never used to be shy
when I was younger. Its really stuffed my love life. I met this guy
when I was sixteen, he went to my high school. We exchanged e-mail
address and talked every night. He was the most exquisite being I
ever laid eyes on; tall, long golden blonde hair, blue eyes, great
sense of humour, south african and a lead singer in a kick ass band,
anywho, time went by and I fell in love with him and I dont mean I
had a crush on him, we're talking head over heals would die for him
kinda love, he was really interested in me, and he went to my school
formal with me, yadda yadda...and what was I like every time whe was
near me? a silent idiot! thats what I was, yet online I could say
anything to him. a year or so passed, and my 'shyness' confused him
and he ended up just giving up on the prospect of a
relationship...broke my heart in two. It was only recently that I've
gotten over the whole thing, and I'm even more painfully shy around
guys because I'm afraid that History will repeat itself. This all
sucks majorly because I'm a film student, which means I have to
partake in a lot of team work and talk to people I don't know. And
to top it off there is a guy in my class whom I fancy, who has a
really similar sense of humour to me (im a really funny person and I
clown around heaps...around people I know...damit), sooo I have
probably come across to him as a snobby cow with no sense of humour,
anywho, oh how tragic, tis a lonely life, the life of a shy person,
anywho I shall go, now that I have gotten that off my chest. ciao!
