I have always thought myself extremely shy. Through this act of journaling, the forum, my friends, family, so forth and so on I have determined that I am actually quite social and have been since 11th grade. Before 11th grade, however, I was painfully shy. So how can I be this social being (for the most part) today but still feel mentally like I did when I was a social hermit? Any thoughts or suggestions?
Hugs,

Is there anything that happened around that time that made you feel like being a "hermit" was not okay? Or any other difficult times?

New best friend, started getting into a lot of clubs at school, became involved in the community. Got my driver's license so I was more mobile and could take myself places. first job on the weekends to pay for my own gas. Lots of things actually looking back. Prior to that though I was extremely shy, hated family reunions and the ilke, would hardly speak to anyone, forget making eye contact. I know I am not any of those now but that feeling of shyness still pervades. It's weird. I feel inside like someone I know I am not in essence. I've gotten to where that doesn't bother me I just think it's really weird. *shrugs*
