Embarrassing Confessions That Shy People Will Never Tell You
#1
It's a challenge to talk to people because, quite simply, we don't know what you want to talk about!
#2
You should know that being quiet doesn't mean we're judging you.
#3
We relive past moments over and over thinking of what we SHOULD have said.
#4
We're relieved when you make the first move!
#5
and we absolutely know we should stop doing that.
#6
Honestly, sometimes we don't even know what we're nervous about.
#7
We need you to know that being shy definitely doesn't mean we don't like people or socializing.
#8
We'd kind of hoped this shyness was just a phase we'd outgrow.
#9
You'll probably never know when we have a crush on you.
#10
and we're weirdly terrified that we might not have the same sense of humor.
#11
Which, in turn, makes us feel MORE AWKWARD AND SELF-CONSCIOUS.
#12
We're secretly envious of sociable people. How DO you guys do it????
#13
The "imagine the audience in their underwear" tip for public speaking? DOESN'T WORK. THEY'RE STILL PROBABLY JUDGING US.
#14
And we'd rather go the dentist's office than to any sort of interview.
#15
We're so afraid of ruining first dates with long, awkward pauses in conversation.
#16
Sometimes we overthink things and come across as, well. GOOFY AS HELL.
#17
Finding ourselves on the outer edge of a circle of people socializing is EXCRUCIATING.
#18
We promise you that we're not trying to be snobby.
#19
This is embarrassing but we definitely give ourselves a pep talk before meeting new people.
#20
We're looking through our phones as a coping mechanism, not because we're trying to be rude.
