Who knows? You may have been born that way. Why bother figuring out why...figure out how to change it.

I can sadly blame my parents and mean minded classmates.
I was so shielded from everything at an early age...By some miracle, I managed to break out of my shell in 3rd grade, but then I was embarassed so badly in class one day with a guy that I had become friends with, it has now made me the shy person I am today.
I am slowly becoming friends (my 1st since 3rd grade) with a guy that considers himself as having a massive superiority complex. He is a freakin' genius and doesn't let just anyone become friends with him. I guess maybe because we are both math majors, and have some commonalities that he has "accepted" me as a friend.
I really dislike it when those that don't understand what a shy person is going through on an emotional/mental level, just tells us to "snap out of it"...If it were only that easy.
I know exactly what you are going through, I don't have an answer for correcting it (seriously wish I did though).
I am a kind of person that cares about everyone...I don't put anyone below me. I'd rather have friends than enemies any day of the week.
My best wishes to you...

i am shy and somewhat antisocial as well. people that know me say i am the nicest person they've ever met, but it's hard for me to actually get to know people. this can be from upbringing, or just genetics that make up your personality. maybe you don't meet many people you think are worth being friends with? i don't. so many people suck, they are selfish and ignorant and i don't take the time to get close to them. also, i can entertain myself and would rather have 1 or 2 friends i really like than 8 who i think are silly or don't trust. if you are lonely, take a class to meet people with your interests. otherwise get netflix and a library card!

Some people are just that way. why do you try and blame someone else for your shyness.
You need to work some where with lots of social interaction.That will help.public interaction my dear. You'll soon get over it and meet some new people in the process.

I was like that growin up. Never had more than one friend at a time. One leaves..I would be alone for months until another came along.
I blame mine on my parents. Very protective and never let me go anywhere..Also didn't allow me to speak unless spoken too.
I just never was socialized as a child.

Actually the only way is try to get out of your shell. How young are you? Better learn to be more friendly and meet new friends. For sure there are nice gals around to be friends with. Dont be shy... try to learn confidence... you can do it..

How about turning the computer off and going outside. Smile and meet some people. It's nice out there.
