Being shy sucks, for real

I'm shy in a different way. I'm not afraid to others too. The problem is that since I rarely follow the latest news, my knowledge about latest info are terrible. Especially about infotainment and sports.

The bad news is that the people around me often talk about those two stuffs: sports (especially soccer...man...) and celebrities (especially local ones, which I only hear about once in a year). The point is, I can't talk normally to them. I have nothing in common to be shared to them. All long conversations will just end up me being excluded out of the talkings. People will just consider me strange.

But what the hell; I'm getting used to it now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wish I wasn't as shy as I am when I'm doing things solo. (I'm not really at all when I'm around a group of friends that I've known for a while) but eh.

I think what Zeph really means is just about mind-settings. Just consider them to be more inferior than you, but you don't show different attitude towards them. When you think you're facing someone lower than you, confidence will slowly build up, and you'll find nothing to be worried about.

In other words, just feel, but do not show it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
