How has being shy ruined some moments of your life

You seem to like to try and appear as though you've read the dictionary, so I wonder if you've read Mark Poster's The Mode of Information? I doubt it - else you'd see how funny you look.

Without even being bothered to read the rest of your post, I'd like to thank you for the laugh I received from this part of the post. Yes I suppose I would like to appear as though I've read, or at least have a passing familiarity with the dictionary, really, wouldn't anyone? I doubt the person I quoted really wanted to spell "opportunities" wrong. I find it quite astounding how worked up you've all gotten over this.

The implication of "Horrible chances with finding someone to love.", is that as of yet, no one does, it's a relatively simple logical assumption, as opposed to you just making it up out of thin air.

If we're looking at this rationally, you're the one that's been throwing insults around left right and center whereas I've been calmly responding in a polite manner, so I think you might want to improve your manners before calling me out again. Anyway, if you're going to insult me like the intellectual giant that you're proving to be, please try and be a little more original.

What, like you did? Saying no-one loves him because of his wording? Criticising his spelling for pretty much no other reason? Y-eah, I think its safe to say you aren't well liked in real life if you keep that mindset. That's my logical assumption.

I being polite; I could call you an arsehole and all the names under the sun, but ultimately that does nothing. Hence why I am being polite/calm. No-one supports you in this little argument but yourself; several people have called you out for channelling Hitler's spirit and being very petty, which further strengthens my hypothesis you are pretty immature. And so far, you've given me no evidence to correct it. I am not insulting you; I am merely stating a fact based on all you have said. If you want to throw the toys out of the pram and proclaim I am insulting you, fine by me.

Your assumption is that because I wanted to educate someone on the correct spelling of a word then no one loves me. Mine was that because he said he has horrible chances of finding someone to love him, then obviously, his current situation is that no one loves him. As you can see, yours is a wild and frankly wrong assumption, whereas mine actually makes logical sense.

And in case you hadn't noticed, practically all you've done is call me names. Hell, in the same post where you yourself claimed you're being polite and calm you call me childish and say I'm "channeling Hitler", which is just ... wow, I mean I have no response to an insult of that caliber, you can't expect me to be offended by nonsense.

I suppose an example of this is I did miss out (I wouldn't say ruin) a great oppertunity to had meet someone special or at least open my options from this nightclub. I won't go into details but all I can say is this nightclub is popular within a certain group which had the type of girls I like. Anyway it was a flatmate and his girlfriend ask me to join them and likewise my shyness made me come up with a excuss but to go with them (I said a mate of my is coming over later).

Well all shy people probably have had a hard time sometimes and generally I think we have a harder life because a lot of times we are unable to speak up and say what we really mean.So I am currently kind of having issues because I'm shy,kinda hurting my mental health but nothing too serious.


So how has it damaged your life or have you never had any trouble(which I doubt is possible)with being shy?

PS: Sorry OP for the argument my spelling has caused you. But hey, at least your page views and thread post count goes up right? Right? :3

Cute! The 'I have no intelligent reply to your points so I will pretend it's not worth my time as I am so elite and I am above it all' defense. Always a fun one to deal with.

Thanks for the smile ^^

It's always nice when your points blow your opponent so far outa whack that they feel the need to backtrack and spew out meaningless jabs to save face.

I don't claim to be above your points in any way, I'm sure they're extremely valid, unfortunately I don't really care. But you're welcome for the smile, as always, my aim is to be a kind, well rounded person, which seems to have gone over everyone's heads a little.

Most likely missed out on meeting women. But then again, the ones I did ask out always ended unfavourably, whilst the instances where women were drawn to my shyness generally went well.

I'm questioning whether I'm lonely because I'm shy, or I would be lonelier if I weren't shy; I've broken the bubble and tried making a friend with someone I liked several times before, but it either doesn't turn out well, or just doesn't last long.

I gave up the opportunity to run the bases at Turner Field when I was kid. I've regretted that decision for a LONG time now.

It helped me develop mental problems and get hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital.

Shyness is just a general issue for everything and anything that happens in your life.
If I were to make a list of when shyness prevented me from doing something I would write a book.

I think for me it'd be talking to a girl or two when I was younger.

Also I noticed a lot of fellow photographers chat with people between sets (I do concert photography) and for some reason if I'm at a party and regular social setting I can strike up conversation but whenever I'm in the photographers pit I get this weird stage fright that all eyes are on me and stay quiet unless someone says hi or asks a question.

My shyness has ruined me as far as tumbling into a university course I never truly wanted to do (if you're wondering how you accidently get into college, the application kind of went "I'm good at maths, I'm FUCKING good at maths, I do piano and karate") and I have literally no contact with any of my friends from school or uni. And of course I've had no girlfriends.

Thankfully, I've had an epiphany of "stop doing everything your dad tells you" and I'm now working bloody hard to get into a course I do want.

I was once in a situation where I had an opportunity to have a threesome, though due to my shyness I chickened out.

Kinda regret it now But there will be more chances... right?


Right???!

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Well, being perpetually shy has basically ruined my ability to speak to humans face to face.

As for moments, it prevented me from my first kiss.

[Singularly Datarific]

Many times, though breaking from it was the best thing I've ever done. I'm not shy anymore- just softspoken and short on words.

 

[dibblywibbles]

not particularly shy myself so I guess I don't relate. I was shy when I was in my teens and most likely missed out on an excellent relationship because of it. I think after that point I made an effort to not be so timid...so I guess that's good.
