I’m a shy girl. I’ve been shy my entire life and I’ve also spent my entire life hearing about how shy I am from pretty much everyone I’ve ever known (I even won Most Shy in high school). Being shy is really not my favorite quality about myself, but at the same time, I can’t really help it. Some people don’t seem to understand that being shy isn’t a choice for me – it’s just how I am and trying to be more outgoing is genuinely difficult! So get off me, okay?
Life can be hard when you’re shy and quiet. If you’re the same way as me, you’ll definitely be able to relate to these 20 GIFs about what being shy is really like. One day maybe you’ll be able to be less shy, but until then, just enjoy the fact that you’re not alone:

The story of my life! I hate it so much, and to top off the shyness I have that bitch face thing.
YEESSSSSS … that is exactly how i felt like each time…it is really horrible to be born like this and you try and try your best to be like everyone else but it doesn’t work. Most of the times I have accepted that i may not be the life of the “party” but that doesn’t mean i don’t have a reason to attend the “party”
fav gif was the last one
OMG im soo shy and i hate it..the fact that my friends are outgoing arnt afraid of doing anything literally i feel so jealous..whenever im around the guy i like i can never have the courage to talk to him and it ticks me off i just hate being shy!
This is so me! All the gifs are just so perfect.
Haha this is so me! I hate being shy and I’m always trying to be more outgoing, but I just find it so embarrassing! How some people are so outgoing, I don’t know!
Omg is is soooo me! it sucks big time to be shy
So so so true. Shyness is a part of me, which I think is so overblown. Shyness is nice once in a while – definitely the boyfriend-parent introduction, lol, good excuse. But, it’s probably not the nicest traits to have (i.e. the interview introduction). So, just throw it out the window and try opening myself up is something I could go for, but this gave me a good laugh.
The story of my life -___- Girl, stay out of my diary!!! Btw that squid thing made me jump haha
