OJT (On the Job Training)

One thing I find frustrating about myself is that I can be so PAINFULLY shy when I first meet people. My close friends laugh at me when I tell them about my shyness because they don’t buy it, but it’s so true! Sometimes it just takes me a while to feel comfortable around people - not that it’s their fault - it’s just the way I am. The main problem with this is that I think people take this shyness as really being bitchiness. That I’m doing it on purpose or that I don’t want to communicate with them. But… I’m not doing it on purpose and I really do want to talk with them - I just sometimes am so wracked with fear, nothing intelligent-sounding comes out.
