Hi, Lastyear. Before I say anything, what kind of therapist did you have?? How dare he/she say that!

Well, for me, I'm not terribly shy when I meet people. I try to be happy and introduce myself though my introductions aren't the best. I kinda randomly say, "Hey, my name is...," but regardless, I still manage to talk well with new people.

I tend to get worse though, as time goes on. You see, I become friends with person A, and we really start to get along, but later on, things fade away and I become shyer, and shyer, and shyer. I don't understand why I would do that, but I do. What a life. :|

I try to believe, though, that people are shy and quiet too. By being more outgoing than usual can help the other person, and myself as well, to break out of our shells more.

Sorry if this post seems all scattered. I'm kinda scattered myself right now.

Take care, Lastyear and PleaseHelp!
