I went to the Glasgow Youth Theatre and they just let me in. But I was so shy that I was there for about six weeks without actually introducing myself.

I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.

When I was 17, I was so shy I could barely speak or introduce myself to anyone.

I went to something like six different schools before the age of 12, so I was always the new girl and had to make friends quickly. It was difficult at the start because I was very bookish - I was literally sat in the corner reading books, with no friends.

I was pretty shy, not too outgoing.

Growing up, I was so shy, but it was weird because I was the complete opposite on stage. I was just free to be myself.

I was painfully shy, and I had tremendous difficulty making friends. So, lacking friends, I watched other people. Watching is something all writers must do, and it was in junior high that I learned to do it.

I was a bit of a loner as a teenager. I never went to a single social event, because they terrified me.

I'm so socially awkward. I really had to put myself out there and meet new people.

I know this sounds strange, but as a kid, I was really shy. Painfully shy. The turning point was freshman year, when I was the biggest geek alive. No one, I mean no one, even talked to me.
