I really wish I wasn’t so damn shy. I can’t get over it. I’ve been shy for as long as I can remember. When I was five years old, I got second place in a beauty pageant, but was told I would have gotten first if I wasn’t so “shy”. Shy. People mistake me for being bitchy, rude, angry, and stuck-up. While I may be some of these things (or all, who knows), I just wish my shyness wasn’t being mistaken for something else.

Shy.
