10 Things Every Shy Person Has Done

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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
