Now days i get really shy sometimes and nervous around people, specialy ones i dont know. I like being around people, its fun, just some people and some cases it can be really scarey for me. its only been like this for a few years, i used to be super out going but now im not. its confusing me.

How old are you? Some people can make you feel more shy than others. You could have social anxiety, although if you used to be outgoing, you might be able to get over it easier than someone who was shy from day one because you probably already have the social skills.

Im 17, but because of my recent shyness my social skills are lacking. The thing is i used to be stuck up and full of myself, and now im totaly dififerent. maybe if i lose weight it will help.
