INFP represent! Which is to say, me too. I loved this--I don't think about my shyness much except with panic, so it's lovely to hear some thoughts that read very true and real. It made me think about being little and having adults always saying I was shy, and then knowing there was something wrong inside of me and really not knowing how to communicate with anyone because I was already identifiably odd.
These days I'm pretty good when I'm around people I know, but am soon to be moving and no one seems to understand why this freaks me out in the way it does.
Almost everyone I've ever met, once we're friends, told me how snotty they thought I was. I think that's the 'what shy girl's look like' from the outside. I wonder if there's a different equivalent for boys, or if it's the same?
