#25: "Yes, I'm shy. I'm going to have trouble making conversations with people and there is nothing I can do about it. Your constant remarks to just go up and talk to people are futile. If I could walk up to someone and not feel that painful uncontrollable anxiety, I would. If I could go out without that sickening feeling in my gut of all the new people I would have to interact with, I would. If I could handle being in a relationship, I would. Another thing, it's not that I don't want to talk to you, there is just nothing that my brain can think of to talk to you about. Do not call me rude for not making small talk and do not assume I am a boring person. You have problems? So do I. I put up a great front and try to make everyone happy while I may be facing problems bigger than yours. I will continually tell you that there is nothing wrong with me; it is just how I am. I put everyone else before me. Lastly, don't tell me that this is something I will grow out of. You don't understand what is happening inside my head and never will." - Unknown
