No wonder people won't start a conversation with me. I must be out of everyone's league.

So basically, it doesn't matter if u're extrovert or introvert - attractive is attractive!

[nmariette]

The only thing I’d say I slightly disagree with is the idea that shy = introverted. This simply isn’t true. I’m an introvert, but I’m not shy. I have friends who are extroverted, but are shy upon initial interaction. Introversion and extroversion refers to whether or not a person gains energy or loses energy from others. I think what you’re talking about here, is only about whether someone is shy or not.

There was this girl who was in my class that probably knew I had a crush on her, and right before it was my turn to do my presentation, she asked the teacher if she could go to the bathroom or smthn. She came back when I was done and got scolded by the teacher, but I'm thankful for her because I think she knew I was shy and got nervous around her. She probably gauged me out before I started my presentation by asking me "How come you're so quiet?" to which I responded like a dum dum with, *shrug* "...iunno" whilst slightly blushing 🤦‍♂
Idk if that was her intention or not, but Thanks Sarah ☺

So true. Shyness is endearing, demonstrating humility and sincerity in a way that can't be faked.

Shyness is cute but anxiety is akward.

I avoid this by turning off my highly neurotic inner dialogue. It freaks women out when you have zero nervousness, not even a healthy amount, just nothing. I've mastered this through volunteering at events as a greeter. In this, the easiest way to get over being shy is to interact with many people as possible. You'd be surprised how unintimidating even attractive people are once you introduce yourself and "break the ice".

I think this is very much a short-time thing though. I‘ve been shy around very attractive people of both genders before, but once I got to know them even a little bit I was completely fine. It‘s probably because you then understand that they are normal humans after all. 😂

It's more complex actually. Some people say they make more eye contact to someone they like, some say they cant do it. Some say they show signs of body language to show theyre interested, some say theyre too shy

I get shy when talking to my crush because I'm scared I'm going to do a Freudian slip, and tell them that they have the type of face that I want to sit on.

When I was in high school there was this cute guy that sat across from me, and when it was my turn to read my writing out loud I blushed so hard that I literally got a bloody nose. Yes, part of that was probably due to social anxiety, but he was also just that attractive. To this day it’s still one of the most humiliating moments of my life. But hopefully if he ever feels ugly, he just has to remember that. 😅

This exact moment happened to me a while ago when I was in a bus and looked at cute girl. She was like a straight perfect 10/10 and probably around my age (18). I looked at her as she walked in and as she sat down we held eyecontact for a few seconds until she gave me the most beautiful and humble smile I have ever seen, she giggled a bit while doing it. After I saw that and my eyes got huge because I couldn’t believe what I just saw. I had a total blackout and looked out the window asap. I literally couldn’t look at her after that. I did it anyways in secret because I couldn’t believe the she really looked like a 10/10 but as she initiated eyecontact I looked away again. This happened a couple of times during the next 15 minutes until she ultimately left and I never saw her again.
God I wished I had the balls to go down and speak with her. But I don’t and every time I hold eyecontact with a beautiful girl I just look away.
However I stare at the soul of girls that I don’t find attractive

It's not as much about attractiveness as it is about perceived "value." I'm shy around people I admire and respect just the same

Love the work, greatest channel. Nobody is bringing up this content with this quality. Flawless style, Scientific methods, pleasant narration… peak of its niche.

The more I live, the more I learn that there's a reason for everything. No wonder the stoics always say to accept things as a will of nature.

Shyness, anxiety, and being an introvert are 3 different things by the way. In a nutshell…

Shyness means your maybe a little bashful… humble. Anxiety means you are panicking and can’t find the words. Introvert means you feel most comfortable and at your best when you spend time alone. Let’s not forget reserved.. which is neither shy or forthcoming. They can go hand in hand but they don’t have to.

I myself would describe myself as a shy/reserved introvert/extrovert. Lol. It’s a scale

[CatharsisByProxy]

Because I am painfully aware of my personality.

When I first met my boyfriend I sensed he was nervous which kinda put me at ease in a way because now I can’t be the nervous one 😂

The title + thumbnail combo is hilarious
