“Anyways, the problem isn’t that I’m shy, I can live with that. I don’t care if I’m not the most outgoing person. i have close friends and good times, fuck it. I can live with the fact that meeting new people brings about crippling anxiety. It’s not like I completely fucking break down when some hot chick says hi, it’s more like I have nothing I want to say, and I feel that way until I’ve known someone for a really long time. 

The thing is, I’m not shy because I have low self esteem, or low confidence, or because I’m ugly. I have a good job, I’m smart, I’m above average looking, I’m interesting, people I’m close with think I’m great. I have no idea what causes it, and I don’t like how people assume it’s because I’m all meek and shit with zero confidence. I’m not sure how it’s possible or if it’s even true (maybe I do have low confidence) but I’m pretty sure I’m right. 

Also, because I’m reserved and quiet when I first meet new people AND because I’m a normal, “cool” guy (I’m fucking awesome) it makes me seem really snobby or “elitist” (which is the gayest word of all time). It’s like people expect shy people to be ugly, or socially awkward, or have no self confidence and everybody else should automatically be super outgoing. Why can’t someone be cripplingly shy and be a normal person?”
