Why so shy?

I have been shy in public my entire life, but when it comes to small groups, I get so, so annoyed at seeing everyone stand around awkwardly, either obviously bored or just unsure = shy.

Now shyness can look like you are being super arrogant sometimes, I have been told that I seem like this when I'm really shy because I find it hard to look people in the face.

I wonder though why we do get so shy? I have a medical reason and can understand anyone in this case, but why so shy in a tiny group? Is it the feeling that people won't like you?

Being liked is a fickle thing, because we feel the need to have a personality, but that can so easily be put down. Yes, its easy for everyone to say 'be yourself,' but bullies prohibit this and bullies may just be people we see in the street - those stares can put us down immediately.

One of the best feelings in the world is being complimented - and you know what I have noted a lot of people compliment? - Aspects of shyness...

'You are so quiet.'

'You are so polite.'

'You are so patient.'

I am certainly not saying that these traits don't also stand alone, but being shy is usually highly regarded compared to someone who is super cocky and over the top.

There is also shy confidence and cocky confidence.

But I won't go into that yet....

Stay shy,

Why is television the center of the house?

Sometimes I just wish that people would shut the damn tv off and chat like old times as a family... heck turn all the power off and light a fire in the backyard and toast marshmellows. These days you try to have a conversation but its interupted by the bloody tv!!!

'Shhh, the news is on,' 'hang on I want to watch this part,' gees life comes to a crashing bloody halt when the idiot box is on.

We complain about smart phones and pads, being indoors and computers, but tv is just as bad!

Rant 'never' over,

Cry a little cry

I just had a really good cry. Sometimes I think it’s good to just hide and bawl your eyes out, because you’re never going to be able to control what other people do or say. Sometimes I can’t control the way I instantly react either, but I can cry to myself, release the tension and get on with my life. I have dealt with a lot in my life as I am a sensitive person

I have been super sensitive today, happy, but a have a mood when, if ignored enough or kicked around too much, my happiness plummets.... As both happened repeatedly, I was reduced to tears, no one noticed and I’m glad, because crying is (stupidly) seen as something of a weakness in my household. It is just easier to hide the tears and move on for me, because I know that that comment, wasn’t something to stew over.

So by writing this post it means that I am stewing over something that doesn’t even deserve the time of day, so I am over this and goodnight!
