I used to feel so shy speaking to girls. It was even worse when they were around their crew because they would diss me.

I think, for a shy person - and I was very shy until my mid-20s - having been to an all-girls' school is not brilliant on the boyfriend front later. Because when I went to university, it was definitely like meeting a new species of people. Suddenly, at age 19, I was thinking: 'Can you speak to these people?' I was very, very nervous.

I didn't do particularly well with girls at school. I was very shy. I'm not saying that was the only reason I didn't do well with them, but I just didn't.

At one point in college I was so shy that I'd drop out of a class if asked to speak in front of other people.

I was the shyest kid. I'd never speak, only if I had to. Honestly.

I speak five languages besides mine. I went to school in Egypt because girls weren't allowed to go to school in Saudi Arabia. It's very restricting, especially for girls; we're not allowed to go anywhere.

I felt alienated at school, and I never did well with girls.

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

My accent remained terrible. It was very hard for me to initiate any conversation with someone I didn't know.

I was born in Copenhagen, and when I was a year old, we moved to Bangalore. I was always a shy person and was happy with just a few friends and that came from my own social awkwardness. I did not know how to make conversations.
