Is being this shy even normal?

Question

I'm usually shy around new people, but i've got a great pack of friends. I act like myself around them and we can joke have fun etc. But when im put in with alot of people I don't know. I start freaking out! I was talking to this new girl who was put in my science group, and I couldn't even really talk to her. I'd always avoid eye contact and then this really weird thing happened..my eyes started watering. And it seemed like I was crying but I don't know why? And stopped talking to her. (well when she talked i'd nod my head etc) Is it nerves? Or me bring shy or...Am I allergic to something?? The whole watering eye thing freaks me out because I look like im crying..and people always go "Are you ok?" Augh.

And when boys flirt with me I dont know why but I ignore them and roll my eyes. When inside im flattered. And they end up stop talking to me because it seems like I hate them etc..It really sucks.

Answer 1

The same exact thing happens to me. But just keep in mind that if you be yourself, more people will like you. It is better for people to like you for who you really are and not what you are "trying to be". Be yourself! Nobody will make fun of you and everybody will see the wild and fun side of you! Just pretend that everyone is your friend and no one is a stranger! :)

ARGH i feel u sista lol.. it is shyness and i have no idea how it works, but seriously - i could have written what you just wrote thats exactly how i am =P all you need to do is add 'going red at totally irrelevant times' and thats me! lol..the whole eye-waterig thing is just ridiculous! it has nothing to do with anything and people always think theyve upset me or just think im really weird haha... anyway, just letting you know that youre not alone!

Answer 3

You're shyness may be a case of low

self esteem. When you have low self esteem

you tend to be more reserved .

But You have enough esteem to

have meet the great friends you've

meet I was like you as well when

I was younger, I was only confediant

in meeting girls because I felt if

I said something stupid around guy's

they would think I was a complete

idiot .

But once I started talking to guys

I've found them way much easier

to talk to than girls they don't

judge and don't gossip as much.

& Guy friends can cause alot

of confediance trust me .

Just get out their and be you,

and I'm sure "you." is great .

I'm shy around people i don't know too. You could of got water in your because you didn't want to make eye contact with her. Maybe with the guys you are hiding your true feels. It is normal to be shy. I can't really help you with the guy part to much sorry.
