Otherwise it's a gift. People who are shy tend to be more caring and sensitive, thus they protect themselves from getting hurt too easily. These people are the BEST to have as friends because they are just totally loving and caring.
Other shy people tend to be the most interesting. Instead of going out with the same people every week, they've explored the world and have discovered so much about it. Sometimes so much so, it can be amazing.
I think we should all goout and makes friends with a new shy person, just to enrich our own lives.  |
That was all so sweet

. The part about having to protect your heart is true too (my rephrasing). But it's not merely from getting hurt personally, but to protect your heart from feeling the other person's/persons' pain or suffering and getting temporarily caught in it as if it's yours...and when you are helpless to figure out how to help.
And btw, I could use a friend

(preferably a geographically close one-good luck to me with that!).
