I am shy around people I don't know. Once we are introduced though it is all over. Then I am just silly and very open. I don't know why I am this way. I am ok and not as shy if I am with friends, but when I am alone I often times avoid eye contact. I don't know what my problem is. I know I am doing it and try to break it, but I cannot. I always say "today I am going to keep my head up and smile at people" never happens. Now if I am out drinking that is another story.
