In grade school, I used to turn red and tear up when I was called on or had to say anything. I'm not as shy anymore. LO is still too little to tell if she is shy but from her behavior these first few weeks, she's not going to be shy at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77802 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:35:45 +0000 Boogs 77802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm super shy. So far, LO doesn't seem to be at all and it's nice that he's not a cling-on when others are around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77744 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 21:30:21 +0000 Maysprout 77744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. Hesitant sometimes depending on how I interpret the other person but I wouldn't say shy. My LO is not shy at all with other kids, she has started to be a lot more shy with adults though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77718 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:24:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 77718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a shy kid (really shy)... Then one day at 15, something flipped in me and I became an extrovert. I never looked back. I see my same shyness in our little girl and remember how I felt clinging to my mom and looking away from someone new. We don't push Little Jacks so that she doesn't feel bad about herself. It's totally ok for her to be shy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77712 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:09:03 +0000 Cchoi4 77712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>very shy, especially around new people. I've been able to hide/mask just how shy and nervous I feel around people I don't know, but sometimes, I can't and end up stuttering! LO doesn't seem shy just yet...I have caught him staring at the checkout people when we go to the grocery store...he doesn't smile at them so maybe he's starting his stranger anxiety? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77698 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:26:54 +0000 BSB 77698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I'm shy and I'm especially shy around new people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77686 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:49:27 +0000 chopsuey 77686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went through a shy period when I was younger.. not so shy anymore though. LO is super social. She's always smiling and babbling at people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77662 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:12:23 +0000 Nskillet 77662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not shy in the slightest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77661 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:11:28 +0000 cupcakemama 77661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am shy but my profession - teaching- has knocked a lot of it out of me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77629 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:58:11 +0000 lilteacherbee 77629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to be VERY shy! There were only a handful of kids that I'd talk to in elementary school and I dreaded being called on in class.</p> <p>Now I'm still a little quiet, but definitely not shy. As a teacher, not only am I in charge of 18 little people, but I have to be comfortable talking to parents and co-workers. I'm not the "life of the party" loud girl by any means but I'm not scared to talk to people anymore either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77628 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:56:05 +0000 banana 77628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not shy at all. But my DH is and my son is too I think. What helped me overcome my shyness was moving schools a lot when I was little. I had to quickly make new friends and it sucked...but it made me more extroverted in the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77606 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:23:33 +0000 yoursilverlining 77606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not shy, but I am quiet.</p> <p>I doubt LO will be too shy since she'll be in daycare from the start, interacting every day with all sorts of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77601 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:18:37 +0000 betsyboop 77601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been shy all my life! I think once I started working in an environment that was dominated by aggressive people, I started to come out of my shell a bit. Nowadays I'd say I'm not really shy but I'm not really outgoing either - if I have nothing to say, I won't say anything at all, which apparently comes off as being conceited. I always envied people who were outgoing and friendly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77597 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:16:03 +0000 heffalump 77597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very shy. When I was young especially. I would do anything to not have to talk to people outside of my family. </p> <p>LO is only 6 months so people say it's just a phase, but I think she's shy like her mommy. She has crazy stranger anxiety. And by stranger I mean her grandparents that she sees at least once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-shy#post-77578 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 15:54:16 +0000 Mrs. Bee 77578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a period in elementary school when I was pretty shy and would turn red easily. But while I am an introvert, I can't say that I'm shy at all.</p> <p>What about you? Is your LO shy? (Charlie is generally very outgoing, but he can be shy around new people at times.) </p>
