hey folks...moo was just telling me about this group...she is pretty terrific, isn't she? She helped me get plugged in...and I am pretty shy. When she told me about this group, it gave me an idea...do any of you know your MBTI score is?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator There are lots of these test online...I quick googled one ...http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp I've always wanted to ask people in a group like this...lol...but was too shy/ Psychic reading here...I bet all of you will have "I" as your first letter...
Hi everyone. I'm extremely shy like the other members here. I'm totally comfortable online, but in person? Forget it. It's like night and day and no matter what I do, I can't get past that. Sigh...feeling kind of awkward now. ...

Ok, just had a thought.
I am pretty introverted. I have to recharge with alot of alone time. I go through periods where I am pretty outgoing...or more than normal. I also feel what I call introversion pushback, where part of me is saying...recharge, recharge. The 4th of July saw me at a big campout party with a large group of friends. I've been going out to movies, events, spending alot of time with people, and enjoying it...to a point. This weekend I was invited to another campout with some friends I feel very comfortable with...but I knew I needed to spend time by myself for a day or so. They knew me well enough that they didn't get offended. It pays to know yourself and not feel guilty when your mind and body is telling you to recharge. I'll also add, communicate this to your friends. It goes over better than suddenly withdrawing.

As the creator of this group, I think I should take the initiative here (though I'm rather too shy to do it and don't expect any of you to answer...)
There's quite a few faces in here that I don't recognise - you're probably hiding away.
Let me say that when I made this group I was cripplingly shy both on- and offline. Now I'm not so shy online (though I can be a bit touchy at times and take things the wrong way) but I remain shy in real life.
Today we had a whole day's diversity training at work and the prospect of role-playing or having to stand up and "tell us a little bit about yourself" had me breaking out in a cold sweat (and I am not joking).
Tomorrow night my work dept are going out for an after-work meal together - again, a social situation where i feel out of my comfort zone.
I really hate feeling like this and I wonder if it will ever get any better for me?
That's all - back to your hiding places...

Hello, everyone,
If anyone should be here, it's definitely I! I get so at a loss for words with people I don't know. Even online, my shyness is somewhat reflected, though in person, I'd be VERY quiet. I truly wish I wasn't shy, I really would love to become more outgoing and spontaneous. Feeling nervous around people is not a good feeling.

This group should probably be set to private. You probably won't have the courage to join. Don't be shy, come on in, we're all your friends! You can join without even making a comment - just sit in the corner until you're ready to make a statement...no one is judging you.
If you have a problem with shyness - even if you hide it well - or feel awkward in social situations, this is the group for you.
Perhaps you were shy, but have found a way to overcome the discomfort - share your solutions and help us all feel better about ourselves. Virb is the place for making friends so don't waste a minute more. moo!
