I was a chronically shy child. That kernel of my younger self is still there, but I've developed mechanisms to deal with it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've never hidden the fact that I used to be shy, even when I was 30. However, I might have been self-conscious on the inside, but I was never inhibited about my body.
I was very shy as a girl. Absurdly shy, even. Maybe because I was an only child. And I think that's why I'm so happy to have two kids now.
I think the shyness one feels in childhood is often overcome with time. There are children who hide behind their parents' legs, but you don't see grown-ups hiding behind people. It just doesn't happen. I mean, not that often. People develop social skills over time.
I was a shy little girl, nothing like what I am now.
When I was a little girl, I was incredibly shy. My hope was to blend in, to fit in, to not be noticed in any significant way. I was deeply insecure and unsure of myself.
I have a high degree of sensitivity, always have. I was very shy as a child. I don't know why that was.
When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.
I was just so blatantly shy throughout my life.
I was quite shy when I was younger, but I'm not one of those people who can complain of a bad childhood or any trauma. There was none in my life. I had a wonderfully happy childhood.
I was quite a shy child - not chronically, but I tended to blend into the background.
