Actually I probably have high blood sugar if anything. I'm on some medication that requires me to have a blood test each month. Being a teenager and loving candy and other junk food then adding the meds, it can sometimes be a little high.

I'm not so shy that I can't talk to people I don't know. It's just that I have trouble being being myself, unless I really know the person.

I know exactly how you feel.
Im sure ur a great person, so let people know u mean well.
Speak up for urself in skool, it rele helps if u can openly talk to ur teachers during class from ur seat.
Also, paying for urself at stores is a good way to get use to talking to people and not caring.
Chances r if ur nice, the person will b nice back.
Theres always gonna b sum ***** that comes along though, thats wen u smile, shutup and walk away. Or fight her haha
But rele, start expressing urself, if u have a funny comment in ur head go ahead n blurt it outlound, chances r sum ppl will laugh wit u.

It could be that what you fear is your shyness and that other people will notice that you're shy, not the people themselves. If you give your dominant attention to your shyness, it will make you feel more shy. Rooselvelt once said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Put it this way, if someone said they would pay you a billion dollars just to talk to another person, would you still feel it's too difficult to do. Get involved in something you enjoy and find people who you're comfortable with so that you won't have time to worry about being shy.

Do you feel that your shyness is all to do with the fear of bringing attention to yourself, and then making yourself look like an idiot by doing or saying something stupid? That seems to be my problem. So I try not to focus on whats happening around me, and focus on the conversation itself. Put it this way, do you really notice or care about the way other people talk, or are you just listening and waiting for them to make a mistake? Not likely. So when your talking to people, they wont be paying attention to any of that either. I reckon its all about focusing on what is said, not the way its said.
Thats just something that helps me. Hope it helps you too!

I have been shy all my life, or I should say part of my life. I hated it. As I got older I got the courage to speak up. I wish I could have been that way earlier in life. Good luck.

I suggest that you volunteer in something that you care about. If you are interested about something, then you can fully immerse yourself into it. You will not only learn a lot from your volunteering, you will also make a difference to the community, meet people, develop your interpersonal skills and make friends.
I wish you well.

It may sound wacky, and maybe it is, but I think shyness and low blood sugar may be related.
Check out the symptoms link on www.hufa.org, and see what you think.
Please let me know if you try it and it helps.
