"I" feel uncomfortable in large groups.
"I" fear rejection so "I" will not pursue this romantic interest.
the list can go on, and on, and on...
The point being the central focus on the emotions experienced from being shy is a common one. "I" Now ask yourself, what do we call someone who is only focused on themselves, whether it be introverted, or external? Selfish right? . . . Confidence overcomes many things, and so with confidence and an understanding of what it really means to be shy maybe we can move past it all together!
