i am 14 years old and I am shy, i'm not that shy to a point that i cant talk to anyone at all. I have a very best friend and i have a lot of other close friends, i am in the 'popular' group in school but im only really in it becuase my best friends in it not because they really like me. there is about 8 of us and im happy to talk to 1 or 2 people at a time but when i get in to a big group i just sit there the whole lunch trying to fade away in to the backgroud and people have started noticing. i got drunk the otherday with my friends at someones party and everyone liked me so much more becuase they saw my real personality and i wasnt afraid to talk. Im really trying very hard to get over this shy thing becuase i get so angry at myself. I have always been shy but i think now i just have to get over it becuase people dont think i have a personality.
