Well guess what? You just made a friend! Now wasn't that easy? Thats how easy it is sweetheart. Just put yourself out there and be friendly, and people will respond. Of course not everyone is like me,I never met a stranger. Ha! Really people are just friends that you haven't met before. Like ole irish_pride up there. Hey darlin, where have you been hiding? I loved the salsa, have you opened your new business yet? Contact me, I maybe opening a new business too.  Kande

hello there i think you might be experiencing some signs of depression thats just my personal opinion i dont think that being shy is such a bad thing in life if it's not depression could be a phobia with anxiety sometimes you go through phobias of being around other people and if these suggestions don't end up being the problem then just work on your shyness when your out and about try to be more outspoken and interact with your surroundings it's not so bad being shy i personally think shy people are cute so don't be so hard on your self your aware of your shyness just get out there and do your thing you'll snap out of it good luck and always be proud of who you are keep in touch with us we are good people on this site and we love to help if we can    bye
