I know I am not the only one who counted the amount of students in the class and what part of the book I would start reading at so I wouldn’t mess it up. One of the many struggles growing up shy or anxious, everything that seems like nothing to others, are a big deal to us. That’s okay! It’s nothing to be ashamed of, if anything, now it’s something we can laugh at because luckily, we are not alone! My fellow shy, anxious, skiddish cats – lets unite!
Here are some of the best tweets that hit home and will give you a giggle about growing up shy:
God forbid you’ve got snot. Then it’s even more uncomfortable.
When you would rather dehydrate and die instead of accepting a drink offer in the fear of being an inconvenience.

Avoid making eye contact!!!!!!!! Pretend to read something!!!!!! Look busy!!!!!!!!
God forbid you’re the first or last person to turn over the paper in an exam.
Why would you do that to us?!

Doctor: can you tell me what's wrong with you?
Me: * turns to mom*— Aubree (@ahelstad1999) July 9, 2016
And now I’m an adult, I just avoid going to the doctors all together.

I would take a book out of my locker put it back in and maybe look in it if I was really desperate.
Seriously, even if it was a “hello” to a teacher in the hallways.
It is comforting to know that us shy kids were never alone though!
