Take this from a so-called shy guy: I am not shy as it is put by others. This label, or prejudgement is incorrect as are all predjudices. I am generally the smartest guy in the room ( geeky-nerdy)and the lack of direction in conversation bores me. When I weigh in on the conversation, it comes to a halt. The matter has been resolved. Now I become the guru in the crowd..people seeking answers that they dont take the time to think of themselves, because they are too busy trying to be cool..gurus dont get laid though, so I stop weighing in on topics that I already know inside and out. I know I have a personality disorder ( so I am told) so I go to the bar and the club trying to work to overcome it. Then I meet you, and you call me shy...
