I'm not shy at all, but will still probably have an early death. Hey, someone has to be the exception to the rule.

I, unfortunatly, have not had a shy moment since birth.

Studies have shown that people who are friends with the Clintons do not live long lives.

I wonder how many people on this forum who have big opinions and mouths are really shy in person?

Put me down for big mouth, big opinion, and not shy in person. I don't get heart attacks, I give them.

At least, that used to be my persona until I came down with rheumatoid arthritis. It really is worse when I am stressed out.

I'm already seeing people my age (50s) dying from heart attacks. Most of them seem to be nice guys, too.

I think it's possible to be a nice guy and not be shy.

When I see shy people, I feel for them, because it's difficult for them to just loosen up and enjoy things. I think you miss alot in life by being shy.

Of course, you put your foot in your mouth alot less! LOL.

I believe there is a difference between being shy, and being 'timid'. I was shy when very young, but I'm a very 'unscary' person!??

Not me.
