I’m shy. Almost deathly so. Not a recluse. I socialize easily with co-workers and neighbors. But it takes time for me to get comfortable opening up to new people. It’s not that I’m paranoid or distrustful. I’m just…shy. I have friends I regularly go out with. But I live alone. I’m single. And I’m shy. Almost never the first one to speak up and introduce myself. It takes wild horses practically, to get me to go to a bar or club by myself. I need friends I can go with. When I’m with people I know I can let down my hair and have a good time. But in a room full of strangers I just want to run away. This may have something to do with why I’m still single. And live alone. But I am not a loner. I like my quiet time to myself…yes. But I enjoy human company too. Very much so. I’m just…shy.<\/p>\n
