1.what are you looking or hoping for ? a spouse a friend a lover?
Anything really. A boyfriend or a best friend would be nice.

2. why are you so shy

I've no self-confidence, to be honest. And it's just easier to let other people do the talking, especially in groups. I can just never think of things to say.

3. where would you prefer to meet them?
Anywhere...college, when I'm out, a shop.

4. who would you like to approach who?
I can't approach people unless I'm drunk, so I think I'd prefer them to approach me. Also I would  be able to speak much easier because then I'd think they wanted to hear what I have to say.

5. when was th last time you let shyness hold you back?
I'm not sure. The last "big" time was when I didn't want to go back into a place where I put my CV into to ask if the job was still there. 

6. how crippling is your shyness?
I hope I'm better than I used to be. It's crippling enough in that I find it almost impossible to make new friends and I've never had a boyfriend. I'm even quiet around my closest friends.

1. Friend/boyfriend. Just someone who's always there for me

2. I don't know, I just get really nervous talking to people

3. School, work, I wish I could make friends online though

4. I would like people to approach me

5. All the time

6. It's getting better, but sometimes it's almost too much to deal with

[Calbert Sheridan]

1.Someone interesting to talk to.

2. I like studying people first to see if they are worth talking too, but then... I don't know, I feel it's too late to start talking to people.

3. Library.

4. The other person should make the first move.

5. Everyday...?

6. Depends.

1.  I am looking for close friends who put effort into our friendship and for a life partner who thinks that I am fascinating.

2.  I am shy because I always feel that people are judging me or think that I'm weird and when I feel like that I stay silent and sit in the corner and probably act a little weird.  I never get any positive feedback from people that I try to make friends with, so it gets harder and harder to be confident and make friends myself.

3.  By them do you mean friends/significant others?  I would like to be able to go to new interest groups and meet people because then I know we'll have something in common, but I can't anymore.  I would like my existing friends to introduce me to new people.

4.  I can't approach people anymore.  It didn't ever work out for me.

5.  Yesterday.

6.  The only public/social places that I feel a little bit comfortable are at church or at the library, and NaNoWriMo once a year because we can just write and not talk.  I don't like going to stores to buy things because I feel like I'm always in someone's way, or that I'm inconveniencing the cashier when I buy something.  In large family gatherings, I will usually escape to a quiet room where no one asks me what I'm making of myself.  I chose to go to LeakyCon, but I'm terrified, and imagine myself running away from everything all the time to cry in my room. I want so bad for the people I meet there to think that I'm cool and remember me and want to keep in touch with me, but I think I have already made a bad impression on some people I know who are going.  It's not that I don't do things, but I feel sick and scared whenever I do.

1.what are you looking or hoping for ? a spouse a friend a lover?

In the end I would like to be part of some sort of a romantic relationship, but for now I am trying to build and expend my friendships.

2. why are you so shy

I think it's because I am scared of rejections, I had pretty bad experiences with rejections and so I just shut down when ever something big that requires active actions happens.

3. where would you prefer to meet them?

umm... I supposed if they are people I could befriend I don't really mind where I meet them, but I would be happy if they won't be in the other side of the world, for convenience.

 

4. who would you like to approach who?

Nice people? I'm not sure, I think nerds are easier to approach.

5. when was th last time you let shyness hold you back?

Almost everyday I have something that I don't do because of my shyness, and than of course I regret it later.

6. how crippling is your shyness?

I cannot possibly start conversations with people I don't know or barely know...

1.what are you looking or hoping for ? a spouse a friend a lover?

Ultimatly i'm looking for friends and a significant other.

2. why are you so shy?

 

I guess it's because i'm always put down by my mum, and was bullied in elementary school. Now I lack almost any confidence.

3. where would you prefer to meet them?

It doesn't matter to me, just having them is major for me.

4. who would you like to approach who?

I would perfer them to approach me. I can't go up and talk to people. That's what's worst about me being shy.

5. when was th last time you let shyness hold you back?

I went to a StarKid concert, and afterward when they came out to talk to us I wasn't able to go up and talk to my favorite member in fear that he would think I was weird. Finally my friend came with me so I could meet him.

6. how crippling is your shyness?

It's crippling to the point where I can't go up and talk to people unless I have someone with me.

 

I have to say this is really cool, but challenging at the same time. At least for me, because I'm not used to opening up to people :D I'm getting better though.
