I really cannot help myself,
I am as meek as a mouse,
When some stranger makes eye contact,
My mouth just clamps itself shut.
With a voice like silence,
I try to answer calmly,
But when you look at me with that puzzled expression,
I realise I will have to explain again- just a bit more loudly.
My cheeks start burning rosy red,
When you ask me to repeat myself instead,
Why can't you simply see,
I'm just shy. That's it. That's me.

I'm just a confused 17 year old who doesn't quite know where she fits in the world who happens to love reading and writing! Most of my writing just now are my own thoughts and feelings as I find them easier to express in writing, however they can be a bit depressing, so for that I apologise!
That moment When in a group, You go to speak next. But someone unknowing Has already taken Half of your words. It's half life.
I say what's on my mind. Which is not always very kind. I try to pause and think for long. But it shows and then I am asked what's wrong. I never mean to hurt anyone.
They say everything happens for a reason. Just like the changing of the season. Maybe it really just wasn't the right time. Maybe I didn't try hard enough to make it mine.
You know it's been a rough year. Sometimes I want to stop and shout it. Poor myself a stiff drink, I don't want to think about it. Good times come and go, so today I'll have to live without it.
A meaningful life now turns into a clueless existence Hoping tomorrow i will come back stronger I'm like a bird in a cage, waiting for another day Feeling helpless, surrounded by regret and...

I don't feel right. That feeling i get. It's a feeling that seems like I can't do anything about it. I feel like something horrible is about to occur.
Frustrated Even when I think some time alone, Just for me to chat on the phone Something comes up i shouldn't moan, But it leaves me hanging with jobs not quite done, conversations left open, My...
I used to be very shy, but now I'm older I am just fine and shyness rarely bothers me. I am sure it will be the same for you. Remember also most eople are thinking of things from their point of view and are not actually taking much notice of you or any one else. Bless you for posting.
@ckahn yes indeed. Though my shyness only manifests in certain situations. It's weird, I'm ok talking to other strangers like waiters, or shop workers, but even when it's a bunch of people the missus knows but I don't, I tend to clam. Obviously a bigger thing than I thought. Well written piece. 👍❤👏👏
Very good!!@naaviie @sleepydragon @luna8moon @ckahn I am new to opuss! Please could you look at my opusses! Thank you I would really appreciate it!😄
You don't always grow out of shyness, I haven't and I am 64! I can put on a good act of not being shy though, now I am lad! 😊😝
Feel where you are coming from. I tend to create alter egos to combat it. Probably not the right thing to do but I find it fun.
I'm shy in certain situations yet I can stand infront of 28 11-16s 32hours a week and teach! Without a hint of shyness... It's usually the situation you are in that dictates the way you behave 😊
