Navigating Relationships: A Guide to Conquering Shyness
Written on
Chapter 1: Reflecting on Past Experiences
In my university days, the class demographics were quite sparse, particularly when it came to female students. I often found myself alone, preferring to spend my free time engaged in video games with friends.
On the first day of a class that I attended for “Military Duty” (a term I’m still unsure about), I ended up sharing a table with a girl. She wasn’t exceptionally stunning, but there was something about her that caught my attention. She had a lovely smile and dressed well. Having been “FA” (forever alone) for quite a while, I desperately wanted to approach her and introduce myself, but I struggled to summon the courage.
At that moment, I felt like I didn’t belong in the same league as her; she seemed too good for me. I remember one time at the bakery when she greeted me and asked how I discovered that place. I stumbled over my words and couldn’t articulate my thoughts properly. Despite spending an entire semester in that class, I missed countless opportunities for genuine conversation.
Looking back now, after having met various girls, I’ve come to a realization: regardless of how attractive someone appears, it’s essential to take the initiative and strike up a conversation. People often overlook superficial qualities, and appearances can be significantly enhanced with a new hairstyle, fresh clothes, or even some fitness. Don’t sell yourself short—there’s a chance they might actually be interested in you, even if you’re unaware of it.
If I could turn back time, I would seize the opportunity to speak to her and express my feelings. The regret of missed chances lingers, leaving us with the haunting question of “what if.”
Ultimately, remember that you’ll be okay whether or not she is in your life. Don’t let opportunities pass by, as they might lead to future regret.
Hope this helps.
