Even writing this story makes me a bit uncomfortable because I’m extremely shy! If you know a shy person, think about their behavior then multiply it by fifteen. That’s me. I was so shy that I avoided everyone. If guests came to my house, I’d run to my room and lock myself in there until they left. My parents never bothered trying to change me though – they just accepted me for who I was and I was thankful for that. I wished I could become more confident and outspoken because I had no friends at school. I was too scared to talk to anyone. My best friend was my older brother Tim. He was two years older than me and my complete opposite. He had hundreds of friends and was always getting invited to parties and stuff.
