Hi, I am a first time "caller." Hehe. (nervous laughter at the joke)
All my life I've been shy and sensitive. I also have a low self-esteem. I'm able to talk with my family and the few friends that I have. It's hard for me to make friends. I don't talk much until I get to know someone better. I haven't been on a date or been able to ask someone out due to my shyness. For example in grade school I had a crush on someone. I did nothing about it and we lost connection. We then became friends again and after tons of advice I was gonna try to ask her out. I found out she is in a serious relationship. I moved on as I am not the type to ruin relationships. I am also shy in thinking I am too thin and in need of more muscle (arms, chest, stomach). I'm self-conscious of my body. In gym class I'd always change in the stall vs with all the other guys. Fully-clothed in public always. Also I blush easily.
How do I beat this shyness, low self-esteem, and self consciousness?
Thank you,
Justin (22)
