After spending a summer alone and then starting college alone, I've come to a realization that didn't even occur to me in high school; I'm incredibly shy. It wasn't much something I ever dwelt on in high school. After all, the friends I had were outgoing and I'd known most of them for years. This summer I moved to Georgia for a brief period of time, convinced that--when I wasn't working--I'd go out and have fun and meet new people. I figured this would be easy, everyone I've ever met says that I'm a great person and really easy to get along with. Well these plans came to a halt when I realized I was shy. As in terribly shy. I only talked to someone that I didn't know twice. Once, was the guy that served me coffee, I asked him how he'd recommend meeting new people and then another, I left a note on someone's table. Both ended in my shaking and in essence almost having a panic attack.
It's not that I don't want to meet new people, I do, it's just that I guess in a way I'm afraid of how people will view, or that they'll reject me before they know me. Because of this, I haven't made an effort(out of fear/shyness) in any of my classes to talk to anyone. I've become somewhat of a recluse, if you will, and I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm getting a reputation of being a bitch.
So, my question here is how do you guys get over shyness? What are some tips you have or do you even have some funny stories? You know, things like that.
