Stay tuned...

I have been feeling very down lately. I am basically a mute at work and I feel so weird all the time. I don't get it. Why do I act this way? Why do I feel so inferior and scared around others? Who cares what others think...right? I am way too stressed out to write more tonight, however, I am off from work next week and plan to share a lot more about what has been going on in my life.

It is almost 4 in the morning and I am still awake because I have so much on my mind and I feel like people take me as someone they can treat like sh@# because of my soft spoken/shy demeanor. I had a supervisor speak to me in such a degrading way today and I just smiled through the pain like I did not get that he was rude to me. I am almost 30 and I am scared that I will always be this way. What is wrong with me? Why do I have to even deal with this problem?

I look around at work and see all sorts of people just talking and walking around and just being free and I wonder why I feel trapped in my own body. I sit at my cubicle and take calls and sometimes I avoid going on my breaks just to avoid having to get up and risk any interaction with others or any sort of attention. I feel like there is an invisible cage that I am stuck in and I just can't figure out how I made my way into this cage.

It doesn't make sense. People tell me that I am pretty...they tell me I am smart...but for some reason I just feel like a freak. And now that I have gained about 30lbs it doesn't help the situation. I feel like everyone is better than me or something. I am not even sure if that is the root of all this.

It's ridiculous. There is so much I want to do and I am slowly dying inside. I hate myself sometimes yet I feel sorry for myself because I don't think anyone can understand me but me.

  1. Hey I sent you an email at your rock.com accnt. I am a fellow Black American female struggling with shyness. I think we can benefit by learning from each other.

  2. Shy,
    My heart truly goes out too you. I dont think there is anything i can say to make you feel better. I only pray that with time you will start to shine and people will see you for who you are. Even if you are shy (which there is nothing wrong with that!)
