Most of the time i'm shy, But it's strange. If i meet new people, some of them i can talk to straight away but others it takes me months to start a conversation.

Over the phone i'm awfully shy though, I just laugh. I don't really say anything.

I don't think it's anything to do with low self esteem, i think some people are just less comfortable around people than others.

Outgoing people can be even more insecure than shy ones. We just hide it better. When I'm insecure, I tend to just be more annoying and talkative than usual. Lol.

Yeah, I'm beginning to notice that actually.

That is normal! You are just working your way up to that level where it is easy to look people in the eye. Some people might appear to be "shy" when they are far from it. It is just in their character to be more quiet and reserved. Either way, there is nothing wrong with you. Maybe if you really want to be able to go up to someone and strike up a conversation or be able to look people in the eye....just push yourself to that level...even if you can only do it for a few seconds. It's a start!
