There is one thing in the world I would give away in a heartbeat, and that is my shyness. It prevents me from being the person I want to be. Do you ever get the feeling that the world is moving around you but you are just standing there alone having lost your way? I feel like a chess piece unable to move in fear of a checkmate. I want to take that step but the fears I hold prevent me.

I’ve also come to the conclusion kindness doesn’t get you anywhere in life.

What is it with fandom and their cliques?

Oh sweetie, try not to feel that way. I understand completely how bad being shy can be. When I was younger I used to be such a wallflower, then I learned how to talk to people. You just have to learn to be confident no matter *what* anyone says or does.

I'm sure you'll get there. When you're ready to make the change you will. I'm sure of it.

And don't feel as though kindness doesn't get you anywhere. You were so kind to *me* and I feel very blessed by it. It made me want to become a really good friend to you. So see? Being kind can get you places.

As for fandoms? Yeah...I know how that goes. It's hard to get into the little cliques. But you know what? Just get on out there and let people see what you can do. If they come around, then great. Otherwise they aren't worth your time. Trust me.

*hug hug*

Feel better sweetie.

And hey...*giggle*...if you need more inspiration i'm always around. *smile*

Thank you so much everything you said meant a hell of a lot to me. I never used to be so bad with my shyness but I’ve had such a terrible year I’ve just reverted back on everything. Every little bit of confidence I had just evaporated. I just hope when I start my job on Monday it’s going to force that confidence back in. It’s ridiculous that I’m even being shy online, I have to stop being fearful of things. What you have said is true though I have to just say bugger it and be confident ^_^

I’m glad my being nice paid off in a great way if you want to be my friend *hugs* and it’s nice to know there are kind people such as yourself out there too ^_^

I hate cliques because I’d never be that way, It's unfair to leave people out and ignore them. The people on my friends list are so cool though so I’d never lump them in there. But it can be hard when people are like ‘who the hell are you get lost’ when all you want is just to chat. I just feel like I’ve barged my way into things uninvited sometimes. To which my shyness barges myself right back out *laughs*

But thank you you’ve cheered me up *many hugs*

awww i feel exactly the same as you do. it's really frustrating when you feel like the entire world and alll your friends are moving on, but you're stuck stationary in the same stupid spot :( shyness does make it difficult to do loads of stuff. i never did get over that, until i started working in the music store and had to force myself to speak to random people every single day. it's better for me now, and i hope it'll get much better for you too :) once you get over the fear of taking that first step, i'm sure it'll be better :D be brave! you have my support hahaha.

i agree with that, kindness doesn't get anyone anywhere in life. it's just you being nice while others are being assholes. you don't even get much in return for being nice, instead others might take advantage of your kindness :O that's quite screwed up. i suppose you could be kind to some people who really deserve it :)

i wish you all the best in life! :D *hugs you*

Thanks, I know it's just so frustrating having this small thing blocking you from doing what you want. Some say it's silly and to move on but for those of us who are shy it's like having to jump over a river ie not easy and you may drown. I start my job tomorrow, i'm terrified but I do hope like you it gives me a good start to look people in the face and just talk to them. or hit them with a DVD ^_^

I did decide after that to be kind to those who are kind to me such as yourself. Who neads people if their going to be massive idiots. I can never understand how people can be like that but hey it's their problem.

And thanks so much your always so nice to me so you get a 1000 hugs right back at ya ^_^
