Looking at some of the stories.. my story isn't that bad but for me it is really bad.
Does anyone know how it feels like to be shy weak and lazy? When i was young, my life was fine but when i came into junior high, i somehow lost all my confidence, let me guess, almost everyone on here can do a presentation infront of a class? you know how i feel like? I get so sick that hearts starts pounding crazily and my voice starts to shake. I rather get beat up than do a public speaking. I consider my self pretty good looking but I seriously never had a girlfriend. im so shy and i barely talk to guys. some people even thought i was gay. seriously, being shy and not confident is one of the worst feelings ever. I sometimes look at someone who is good looking, gets all the girls, athletic and does well in school like WTF and who says God is fair? like this is all bullshit, being extremely shy and not confident is like having a disability. My heart starts to pound as i enter my school and i seriously wanted to hide in a hole after i did my presentation today at school.
I would rather run 1000 laps around school until my lungs rip then do a presentation and plus my teacher gave me and my partner shit for not delievering the information well and she doesn't even know how i feel when i'm up there. | |
I used to be jealous of people who were more popular than me, better looking, more athletic, etc. I later found out that I was actually enjoying life more than those I envied. The people I envied were actually jealous of some things about me that I took for granted!
I have learned to overcome every fear and insecurity except one: I am terrified of spiders, scorpions and other arachnids. I went to a reptile show last weekend and there was a area that you could handle and pet tarantulas and emperor scorpions. I watched others and bravely went over to face my worst fears. I actually handled live tarantulas and scorpions to help overcome my hatred of these critters.
I saw this documentary of how Japanese businessmen are trained to overcome shyness and be able to overcome fear of failure. They go to a shopping mall and sing silly songs out loud. Songs like "Barbie girl". (look up barbie girl-aqua on youtube) After facing their worst fears, they have the confidence to overcome any problems.
