If I was to describe myself I would say that I am very nice, pretty girl. I am inteligent and clever. I am keen in sports and I like reading books. The one problem is that I am shy. Now a lot of things had changed. I am studing and I have been abroad so I had to overcome my shyness. but it is still a problem for me.
When I was in a high school I was very shy. I didn't talk much and I was a little stout. My class mates used to make fun of me and that was the reason I was more and more shy. I had few friends with whom I had a lot of fun. With them I was talkative and amusing, I was laughing and kidding like everybody else. But when the new person came or I was standing in front of new group of people I was becoming closed and shy. I couldn't say a word. That was very big problem for me because I couldn't live like a normal teenager. Instead of spending time with my peers I was going to the church or I was riding on a horse back. I prefered talking with animals than with people. And than I met my boyfriend. Now I think it was very romantic but I think that at that time it was only possibility to meet me better. We met in a church were I spent a lot of time. It was a kind of chaplaincy for teenagers. I had all my friends there. And one day a new boy turned up. We liked each other but I was to shy to talk with him so I was running away from him. One day he came to me and instead of talking with me he gave me a letter. I took it home and I read it. He said that he prefers writing than talking and if I wish to get know him better I could write a letter to him. This was the beginning of our acquaintance. We didn't talk much we were just writing those letters. After two months we were a couple and my shyness was gone. But the problem was still existing. We went to the university to one city. I was forced to make new friends but he did the same. I was afraid to meet his friends because I was blocked and I didn't talk at all. Moreover, it was the beginning of a large problem. My boyfirend thought that I don't like his friends and that I am always offended at him because I don't talk at all and when we were alone I was quite talkative. So, he was stressed and the whole evening with his friends was awful. He started to go out without me what made me feel bad. But than I went to the USA for "work and travel". It was a great medicine for my sickness. I had to find job, find an apartment for myself and make new friends. I needed to use English language and I was working as a waitress. I had to be nice and talkative. I had changed very much there. When I came back my boyfriend was shocked. Now I feel much better and the problem of shyness is almost gone. But I know that it is still in my head and I need to overcome it every day.
