#Shyness
And if someone that I don’t know is trying to get me to “open up” and break down my shyness upon the first times of me interacting with them - that is a red flag.

I need to stay away from that person

You do not need every verb tense before you speak.

The present tense plus 'I want to', 'I'm going to' and 'I can' will carry a real conversation. Perfectionism keeps more learners silent than shyness does.

Harpe: Father, this hairstyle was done for a while for the next shoot. And please don't call my name like a child.... (shyness)

Staring down at the food in his hand, Desire raised it to his mouth and took a bite. It was delicious.
"I went fucking crazy. Of course it's awkward," he mumbles, shifting his weight to one side, "because I'm a lunatic. I 'preciate you worrying about me," a shyness clearly came through with the ♱

My boss has been a pain in the back for all of us for a long time. Terrible at scheduling, awful at hiring, and more than willing to fire anyone for anything. I've had similar feelings brewing for a while now, but I've never said anything due to my shyness. It's good to finally get them out.

Some poor soul: Okay, Lord Zhu. A way to get over your camera shyness could be to instead view the camera as someone you like, pretend it is your husband- what are you doing-

"That... Sounds wonderful." He says, his smile widening a bit and nodding. Her hands are firm and he squeezes back gently. "Just..you know I.. I'm not just a bit out of practice, so to speak... I may have had not much practice at all... so—" he shrugs, charming and cute in his shyness "I wouldn't

...But Hokuto-senpai is really amazing. While everyone else was still bewildered, he boldly got up on stage and started acting without a moment of shyness. And he’s acting the role he’s best at, a prince.

I was convinced by my friends to post the sketches i have done, so i'll do it with the ones i finish painting.
i love drawing for others and i derive my best works from it, but i'm paranoid of being annoying,
i'll treat it as an exercise for my shyness regardless of what happens.
I dont usually post these, i send them privately if it is possible, i think it is better this way, but i like this one enough that i wanted to post it.
I'm certain that most artists i drew and was able to send will never see them
It is very fun to do them nonethless, takes me out of the comfort zone
i've been drawing designs i like from other artists recently and i choose @fredrick7298.bsky.social Jin's design as one of them, specifically the one they made for their rabbit hole cover.

Shyness tinges their cheeks as Eirwyn smiles at them. Half tempted to bury their face in his neck again. Elswyth had done it. They had kissed him. It had left their stomach twisted up in knots with a longing to do it again and again. They smiled bashfully as he rose from the settee making sure

there's some normal introvert and shyness there too to explain how she Is, but the fact that there's such a messy line for her between lover and friend is fun.

Never heard the second but yeah, both men and women need to change.. Shyness, especially in men is so stigmatized and trivialized. One comment below, for example. While I don’t like or get along with manly dudes, women just seem so distant. I’ve heard that’s a common thing.

It's capitalism.
Talking community and atomizing it down into its component parts for most efficient processing. You get isolated worker drones.
Shyness is a natural consequence of social isolation in young life
The background patriarchal system had some unfortunate interactions
I wonder if one factor to the male loneliness epidemic is just plain shyness

WAAAA BIZZY THANK YOU!!! 😭😭😭

I always feel shy to post Mera like this even though I enjoy it a lot. I just need to overcome the shyness.
September 28, 2026 at 4:30 PM
Oh wow 😳 I would die there because of shyness 🙈

As someone with rejection sensitivity dysphoria due to neurodivergency, shyness is A factor. But what has helped me extremely is exposure and talk therapy. I’m still working on it. It also helps I have close friends who challenge and support me.
September 28, 2026 at 3:43 PM
It’s one of many factors and you also have to examine the root of the shyness.

Shyness and too many dude bro podcasts

Did awful at Reality Fracture prerelease 😅

Balancing my competitive nature with my shyness (I'm more introverted than I show) along with my (probably unhealthy) expectations for myself is rough. Sometimes I feel like I come off as a dick but I'm really just crashing out in my head haha.
