plurk is good practice

pray, you have much to offer to the world

you should try standing in front of a mirror and naming 10 positive things about yourself.

then, once comfortable with that, try talking in the mirror as if you are talking to others.

this worked for a friend of mine

online my shyness isn't quite so apparent... talking on the phone/job interviews/talking in person my shyness is quite OBVIOUS

I am just, in general, typically untrusting of people and am reluctant to "open up"

temperament-wise, I am nearly 100% melancholic (and a teeny bit phlegmatic... which is probably just the lazy part of me, lol)

that's understandable. You should be very cautious of people. You don't know their true colors until a lot of time has passed.

hmm... another reason the divorce rate is kind of high

yes, but there are some people who I would like to get to know a lot better; but I think they take my shyness as "not interested"

come spend a day with me.....I swear....you will get over your shyness in a hurry

Praying for you

dragon: I pray for anyone who has to spend the day with me too

lol

I was talking to hopeiscoming4me but whatever you say

I know. I was just being silly

I'm in a silly mood
