It's a burden being shy and quiet. Been called Mousie, asked what's wrong, or having people think you are incredibly stuck up. Love when my friends tell me about somebody that has ton's of personality and is fun, because I know that is the ideal. I am pretty and have a lovely smile but I'm not the one who talks to people in a social setting. I'm the quiet one that makes other people uncomfortable even though I am a good listener and happy to be there. My friends say they wish they were more like me and could keep their mouth shut sometimes but I hate my quiet personality. New friends will get used to you and your quiet side. I've gotten more accepting of it as I've gotten older and the less I worry about it the better I feel. Just remember, those wildly outgoing people have their own set of worries and insecurities!
