I'm a bit sad for my shyness.
At least before summer it was a real problem to me. And now I'm afraid my mates are trying to get far from me. I have no real friends, except my sister. I don't spend time with my mates. Now the situation is a bit better but it was terrible when I couldn't say a word when I was with my friends. Or maybe one or two. 'Hello', 'bye', 'OK', 'thanks'. These are words I used. Really seldom I ask(ed) anything. So I'm not surprised my friends wanna be with each other, not with me, when having free time.
Other ways I'm not that shy, I can dance in front of the audience, for example. Body talk is easier.
Another reason I have no real friends may be that I am a lonely soul and want to do things I like. And those things may be quite different than theirs. And because for me being popular is not the most important thing.
