ive been pretty shy since i was really young but ive gotten a lot more shy in the last few years, i went through an emotionally abusive relationship and was an emo kid for a couple years in high school which meant that people automatically didnt like me because of my appearance which tought me even more not to initiate social interaction with people i dont know. i dont think being shy is really who i am, i love being social and i love when i cross the line of feeling comfortable enough with someone to just say whatever i want but even when i try to be more social i feel like i just cant do it right.
