I'm 19 old boy who has a problem concerning my personality. I've often self - analyised myself to get to the bottom of my shyness and/or quiet behavior and I've recently realised it. My dad. He had enormous influence on me. As a kid I've been somewhat afraid of him. He was some sort of a strict, very quiet and distant figure to me, a bit of an authoritative parent who doesn't say much, who thinks that all the things that the other parents talk with their children apply automaticly on me. That I will learn them in life on my own. Don't get me wrong, I was brought up in a perfectly normal family but there was always a sort of "unemotional" aura around my family. When I've read some article couple months ago that about 10% of adults are extremly shy. So I found out the truth , my dad is as shy as it gets! He is large and has unfrendly face, tough behaviour but is soo shy. My grandpa is the same, looks threatning but in fact they are very passive people, bottle their felings inside 100%.
