I just wanna know if you guys ever experienced this, cause I remember when I was a teen my mom told me this. I can't remember what the conversation was but she said that I might evetually get over being shy when I get older.

It turns out I've just gotten better at hiding how scared I feel when it comes to talking to people. (having a really small voice and can't look at people in the eye when talking) What I've noticed about myself is that it takes longer than usual for me to build a connection with someone. Back when I was in college it took my 1 school year to be a part of a group of friends.

Now that I'm working I still struggle building connections because of how quiet and shy I am because of this I don't become as approacheable to people. Sometimes I feel like the industry that I'm in caters more to outgoing personlities, and it's been really hard for me to get out of my shell. It's easier to tell myself to do better in making friends but it's harder to actually do it, and I'm still trying to figure out why I am the way I am right now.
