1. Your first thought when you have a crush is usually "OH GOD, NO."
2. You do NOT stalk online; you're MERELY figuring out your crush's interests without having to actually talk.
3. You have seriously considered trying to telepathically tell your crush you like them.
4. You're always looking for, and missing, opportunities to talk to 'em.
That moment when you miss a 16 hour opportunity to ask someone out because you're just too damn shy. #facepalm #shy #shyproblems
5. You've actually spent way too much time rehearsing the right thing to say.
6. You're afraid your crush will think you're boring because you're so quiet in person.
7. ...Or just super flustered and awkward.
8. Plus, you're much better at talking to your crush online than in person.
9. But then there's the issue of getting their information in the FIRST place.
When you really want his snapchat but you're too shy to ask for it 😪 #ShyProblems
10. So it takes you a liiiittle bit long to actually let your crush know you're interested.
11. You worry that, once they get to know you, they'll be weirded out by the difference.
12. And you're terrified of seeming too quiet meeting their friends, because you feel you HAVE to impress them!
13. And meeting their family? OH GOD, THE PRESSURE.
14. You're way too afraid of messing up what you meant to say.
I cannot say one sentence w/o fucking it up #shyproblems
Your face great tongue like! I mean...
15. And if you see 'em out with a group of people, forget it. You'll be standing outside the circle, not talking.
16. And when they compliment you, you don't know how to deal.
17. Whenever your pookie schnookums wants to take a picture together, you want to flee.
18. And forget about trying to set a thirst trap with a selfie.
19. If you blush, you become nervous that your date KNOWS when you're feeling shy.
20. And, if you're dating a fellow shy person, going out to an event together usually means ONLY talking to each other.
21. And people actually think "don't be shy" is actually good dating advice.
Just remember:
Even if it takes you a little longer than most...
...You'll get there.
