Description
The Shy People Forum is for anyone who has ever suffered from shyness or social anxiety. No matter where you fall on the "shyness" spectrum, you're welcome here. You're encouraged to share your experiences, and provide help, advice and support to one another.
About Me: I created this group in 2003 as a way to find people like me. I have been shy practically my whole life, and I know how lonely it can be when you're isolated from others. I've always felt like I was more than just "shy" though, and I was actually diagnosed with social anxiety disorder when I was in my early 20's.
I've read self-help books, tried hypnotherapy, gone to counseling and taken various anti-anxiety medications designed to help my social anxiety. Although I feel that I've come a long way, I still haven't found a "cure" for my shyness. I still have trouble talking to people I don't know, and I'm uncomfortable in social situations where I'm expected to make small talk. I also find it difficult to make friends. Shyness has affected my self-esteem, and I have suffered from depression as a result.
Being shy is not a bad quality, but society makes us feel as if we possess a very negative trait. I look forward to interacting with other people who live with shyness.
Thank you for joining us here! If you would like to contact me personally, please feel free to send me an e-mail: the_shy_people_forum@yahoo.com.
~Amy, Creator and Moderator of The Shy People Forum
