Am i shy , if I am dumb in front of people who talk topics stranger to me?

Answer 1

Learn to use proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Put the coming school year to good use. Well to be honest, you shouldn't have spent all your free time on this goofy sht and spent more time in the library improving yourself and your mind.
Thank you.

Answer 2

That is why school is important if you pay attention. I don't know how old you are but when I got married (age 22) and we had company I had to sit and listen because , I guess, I let what was taught in school just go right over the top of my head. I was somewhat shy too. I learned to listen and I wrote down the topics that were discussed and went to the library and began to study and learn a little about each one. I was surprised at myself and how much I liked learning and I was able to contribute something the the conversation. Now we have the computer and I no longer have to go to the library. Nearly every day I look up a word in the dictionary and always look up something I want to learn about on the computer. I looked up the Puritans and Quakers today. Very interesting. On my list tomorrow is The Mad Hatters of Dan-bury. I think now I have learned a little about what ever the topic might be. I am over my shyness and feel I'm somewhat intelligent. It will take a little time but do try it. Thanks for allowing me to share with you.

Jamuna, Am I to understand your question as follows:

Am I shy, if I am dumb in front of people who talk topics strange to me ?.

Well from your question, I find that you are listening when people talk of topics strange to you, also, you are trying to figure out what they say is real, true or just imagination...but tell me what is it u find as strange topic...

Do i take it that you r a person in your early teen and u r eager to know more of what is happening around you...no doubt its a good sign that you are not talkative but listening, which helps you get to know what is talked about for your find out in your spare time what was talked about...

should you wish to know or get your doubts clarified, you must speak up...but with caution, for you should not be misguided or mislead to thoughts or acts that will not make you comfortable...

learning is a continuous process and it happens all around us...so become smart...u must keep your eyes, earns open and permit yourself the liberty to talk or ask questions after you really run the question in mind thoroughly...

nothing is Right or Wrong...its just the way once perceives...but everything ones freedom ends where the other persons nose begins...

Answer 4

I know what you mean about this one. I always feel like asking this question. I get really nervous in front of other people when they are talking about politics or things of that matter, because I feel like I cannot contribute to the conversation. I just try to listen and be honest about you know, I'm sorry I don't know what your talking about and I ask questions so then I do know. That really helps and the next time your in that type of situation, you'll know what to say. Also when you go home that night, try to learn more about what topics you were unsure of. Just be honest, ask questions, and gain as much knowledge as you possibly can. Without much knowledge, you just wont make it in life.

Answer 5

There are no sparkheads who know all about everything. So don't worry if you don't know something. You can always learn things that your really want to learn. It is wise to chose between what you really want to learn and what you can ignore as unnecessary. When it comes to topics of discussion on Yahoo Answers, it would be wise to just observe and not answer questions you don't know. If it is direct and in person, then there is nothing to be shy about in admitting your ignorance on that particular issue.

Answer 6

A good listener is hard to find.
Listen and learn.
Try and learn how not to look shy.
Your to worried about looking stupid.
Think more about being interested in whats being said.
When your comfortable ask questions, like what do you mean by that.
It's all part of growing up.

Answer 7

I think shy is good. If you don't understand and someone likes you they will most likely want to teach you. Ask and say you don't understand. Somewhere you'll find real friends that will help you.

Answer 8

There is a famous quotation that says, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Answer 9

Answer 10
