Is Social Akwardness Holding You Back?

Is Social Akwardness Holding You Back?

I was always a shy kid. I was embarrassed easily, and I always wanted to avoid those situations where I was put at the center of attention.

(But secretly I wanted to be that attention without all the feelings of people “seeing” me wrong, if you know what I mean…)

So I’d be very quiet when I went to gatherings or social events like my friends’ birthday parties. Eventually, I’d come “out of my shell” when I found out the other kids were cool and wouldn’t make fun of me.

But every time I was in front of someone new – BOOM! The shyness would come back.
