You've probably been asked on more than one occasion if you ever talk.

Okay, let's be honest, we all know someone who is super shy and quiet. We all know someone who will avoid unnecessary attention and do everything they can to remain in the background of every situation. Sometimes it's like it actually takes more work being shy and quiet.

Here are 10 things that every shy person has done at point or another.

1. You have to repeatedly think through your introduction on the first day of class.

2. You avoid eye contact with your professor at all times in order to avoid being called on.

3. When you're running late so you do your best to get to class on time so everyone doesn't watch you walk in.

4. When you know the answer to a question but you don't answer because you don't want the unnecessary attention from your classmates.

5. If you finish a test early, you wait till someone else turns it in so you won't be the first person to get up.


6. When, in a rare instance, you are feeling bold and introduce yourself to someone you find attractive and it becomes the most awkward experience ever.

7. Because you never talk in class, you get really excited when your professor finally learns your name two weeks after they knew everyone else's.


8. When someone you don't know talks to you, you instantly forget all English words and just stare.

9. When you are forced to do group presentations, or actually anything that involves pubic speaking, and it goes quite terribly.

10. And because you have tried so hard to stay out of the limelight, you have no idea how to react when someone randomly compliments you.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
