Yes, it does. That's why we should all learn to overcome shyness while we're still young.

First of all well done for going back to college that must have been a hard decision I think you are on the right path. Maybe go to student services and explain that you would like to see a councillor or even see one through the doctors the quicker you get this sorted the better they may also be able to offer you medication for the panic attacks. As for making friends that can be hard when you have low self esteem as you tend to think you are not good enough. I went through years of this before I finally got sorted and I wouldn't want the same for anyone else. I think speaking to student services would be a good start they can also liaise with your tutors and can be great. There may even be local support groups were you can meet people in the same position anyway goodluck and takecare x

The fear of rejection is a much greater threat than being shy. I mean most of the time I am out going but when intimacy is involved the walls grow to unimaginable heights. In the same frame of thought I can remember plenty of young women I should have approached but didn't because I was shy. I believe in fate. For me timing is essential and I would rather be alone than to be with somebody I don't truly admire. I have matured with regard to public speech unless I have been belittled for amusement. When that happens the guard comes down and the conversation either stops or escalates into verbal conflict.

No way. Unless you've got mental problems and have SERIOUS shy problems, then you can do whatever you want!!! There have been so many shy people throughout history who have achieved great things.
I happen to be a very shy person too. I am known for being shy, but once you get to know me, I am the complete opposite. However, to answer your question, being shy has not really gotten in the way of thigns I'm passionate about. For example, I am passionate about helping others and making the world a better place. I am shy, but this winter, I wil be traveling to Madagascar with Habitat for Humanity. This summer, I will be traveling to Kenya with Free The Children. See? I'm shy, but I'm doing everything I've ever dreamed of doing in my life!!
Good luck to you, don't hold back, and don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise!! do whatever you want to do, because you really can do it.

Not as much as it used to. My shyness used to paralyze me. I was so bad, and this was alooong time ago, that I couldn't even talk in front of people. If I had something to say I'd whisper it in my friends ear and they would have repeat it out loud.
It was horrible. And looking back I think how bad of an impression that had to leave with a lot of people. But thankfully I got over it. All it took was one bad relationship and having the ex stalk me for years. It was my sarcasm, bitterness and being pissed off that finally got me out of my shell.

Story of my life.
I'm so shy that I'm afraid to volunteer or shout out things in class, even if I know the answer. I have never told any guys I've liked in the past about my feelings for them. Also, it's my dream in life to become a singer, but no one knows I can actually sing because I never do it when they are around.

Yes....maybe not shyness - as I feel fine when just talking with other people - but timidity or self-consciousness, cuz I'm a klutz and can't really trust myself to come across to other people the way I would like to
