Finally some breakthrough.

Basically, I realized that one of the major things that need to be done for me to be less shy around people, and that is mostly by learning social skills, when I'm trying to learn social skills I'll have to be talking to people.

Well basically, I just let God know that I need his help with my social skills and being less shy around other people because I know I can't do it on my own. And basically God gave me a lot of opportunity tonight to talk to people and work on my social skills. Also a few of them were girls. ^_^

I'm a big dothackzero fan.

way back from the days of the Cowardly Lion. I have loads of respect for not being afraid to post whatever suits your fancy or say what you are struggling with. That is really admirable.

I like this! I used to be mega shy up through high school. Eventually I just stopped being so scared of social situations and realized that it would be better for me to just be embarrassed every now and then than just not talk to anyone. So I "practiced" talking to all sorts of people, just to get comfortable and confident in social situations, knowing the whole time that it was perfectly okay to not have anything to say sometimes, and it was okay to screw up. Eventually I got comfortable and confident with myself. I think the same can happen with you =)

And oh, there's a girl out there who is attracted to sweet, slightly-awkward guys. Maybe one or two of them anyway...

edit: a LOT of them...in case you didn't catch my sarcasm :-)

other edit: Also, I think the steps you're taking now will make this girl REALLY happy some day. Be encouraged!

That's good to hear! I think the only way to get over that is practice, so I'm glad you're getting it. I used to be painfully shy when I was younger, to say the least. It was only through interacting with people a lot that I got better and was less socially awkward and shy. Now I can still be a quiet person at times, but that's different than being shy.
Even if you feel like you crash and burn a few times, don't worry about it. It's part of the learning process. Just keep on keeping on. You're getting there!
