I'm actually just reading a few of your posts and I'm sitting here in tears because I feel the same way you do about some of the things you wrote in your blogs. Being this way truly HURTS, I always ask GOD why am I like this, what did I do wrong, I feel like he's punishing me and I don't know why. I'm very sad and If I had one wish in the world it woudnt be to be rich, it would be to be able to talk to all kinds of people and not be so dag on shy. I know this shyness is holding me back from all kinda wonderful things I could have been. It sucks.
DIARY OF A SHY BLACK WOMAN...A.K.A. PAINFULLY SHY'S RESPONSE:
I feel the same way at times. It seems like such an easy thing to get over in the eyes of others but they don't realize how difficult anxiety is to get over.
Look, you now know you are not alone. So don't feel defeated. I am trying to put up many resources on my myspace page http://www.myspace.com/diaryofashyblackwoman
and my spruz site: http://painfullyshy.spruz.com/
I will keep updating my blog at http://www.diaryofashyblackwoman.blogspot.com/ and moreover I will soon start putting myself out there via video blogs on Youtube.
My youtube link is: http://youtube.com/painfullyshytv
I feel so passionate about this and I feel some of the people who have the best things to contribute to this world...can't because of anxiety...and I want to help us break through these chains and feel like we can be free and we can live like we were meant to be.
Thank you so much for writing...
I am going to post your email on the blog but I will keep it anonymous.
