Ah... This feels a little awkward, but here goes...
I'm a shy person by nature (don't be surprised if this turns into embarrassed babbling)... However, this is only with people who are new to me... or that I feel I need to impress... Such as my partner...
... See where this is going? I'm 15 (going on 16) and female.
My girlfriend (14 going on 15) is lovely most of the time, but she likes to feed my shyness, as she thinks it's cute when I curl up into a ball of blushing, mumbling fluff. We've been going out for almost two years now. Neither have prior experience with anyone (which is understandable, we're only young!). I'm... really submissive.
I love her a lot, but lately I've been having a very hard time doing much with her, as any conversation I attempt to start ends with me trailing off and becoming awkward, and any conversation she starts ends in her random trains of thought merging into one complicated muddle and I start to tune out a bit because I feel like I'll say something wrong.
Not helping this is my nervous habit of walking along looking at my feet.
She tends to get into random slumps a lot... Which I probably look like I don't even care about, since when people are depressed near me, I freak out and have no idea what to do, resulting in me freezing up and just standing there.
Speaking of freezing up, I can't even kiss her because of my shyness. Not even a peck on the lips, on the cheek, forehead... Nothing.
As soon as she even looks at me I freak out and hide.
Can anything help with my shyness? It's really starting to get in the way!
I think my shyness scared her off a bit, too... Mostly this year, when other issues caused me to feel more insecure and shy, and I started freaking out visibly, I could kind of feel her backing off.
Think I'm freaking out too much here?
