Let's talk about girl-shyness.

This post is in essence very long-winded, so if you cannot stand long-windedness, please DO NOT READ ON or READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. In addition, this post is to make up for the very short posts I have put up recently.

I am in fact, a rather shy person. Especially when it comes to girls. You know when you grow out of that primary school mentality where "Girls suck!" and "Girls drool" etc? Yeah that was the first stage of this phenomena. Let me tell you the norm after this stage; usually when we go on to secondary school, we begin to treat girls like, considerably and relatively better? That's because we somehow start to respect them and respectably, they mature faster than us hence we acknowledge (or most of us do acknowledge) that we are more immature and that they have more "experience" than us. Then after this stage comes the acceptance part. We begin to accept girls as a so-to-speak "part of our lives" perhaps in the future. This is when we begin talking to girls like we've known them since yesterday and this precept of shyness disappears into thin air.

So basically, 3 stages.

1. Primary School Stage
2. Better-treatment Stage
3. Acceptance Stage

That's right. Sad to say, I'm still stuck at stage 2. Shyness is still my problem. So even as my parents warn me about not being so close to girls, or not hanging out with them too often, I still don't have that kind of "oh no, I may get caught one day" mentality. That's because I am still very shy! I don't tend to relate well with girls and so, I tend to be less comfortable around girls, and hence I try to "avoid" them! That's why Mom and Dad, you need not be so afraid. -shrugs-

So what is the phenomena?

Girl-shyness is practically a hindrance, an obstacle, an obstruction, a road-block; to your progress in life. It is a stumbling block in development to every male on earth. In fact, girl-shyness is more commonly known as Love shyness. It is, in essence, a type of severe chronic shyness.

As described in Wikipedia , love-shy people find it difficult to be assertive in informal situations involving "the opposite gender".

In a psychologist's study, in fact, the one that coined this term, he stated that one factor causing this could be "the low frequency of going out (or even rarely) with women".

I'm a perfect example of that. For one, I am in a single-gender school, and I do not mix around MUCH with girls. Granted, certain Sundays a few of us get together with girls and have lunch together. But other than that, no more.

Well, let me list down the few girls that I am more comfortable with:

• My Mommy
• My Sister

That's it.

So plainly this describes my problem.

Any help?
