Challenges for Shy people

try to be bold, if you are shy then will have to met with more problems. be cool.

I say just be yourself and you will attract people who are like you

Very recently I faced discrimination for being introverted. I feel we are constantly misunderstood. I get tired of hearing that we NEED to be this way, we NEED to be that way from extroverts. If there were an island with only introverts, I'd happily move there. By the way introverted doesn't equal shy, nor does shy equal to introverted. It's just that introverts are very selective about who they communicate with so it's understandable that people would make that assumption. You can be an extrovert and be shy.

My best friend helps me be more social in little ways. We may go eat somewhere or I may go with him while he gets food. And being outside thanks to him I go outside more. In truth though as much as the idea of a social function terrifies me it sometimes helps.

I lack the ability to participate in mundane talks. If the conversation is not, meaningful I drift away. In such case, I prefer to sit silently which comes off as me being cold to others. I can't help it.
