Too timid?

HELLO, dear people! I'm back with a new discussion! Today I'm gonna talk about a problem of mine: the shyness. Since I was born, my mother educated me like a robot: to be dutiful, not to talking bad, like any normal mother, I suppose. It is stated that I have a much bigger brother, me being the only daughter, and the smallest in the family. My parents are divorced. Ever since kindergarten, I only had two best friends. Every time when someone upsets me with something, I went in the corner of the room to cry. I wasn't friendly with the kids, I didn't have many friends. I was the most dutiful and one time I was rewarded for that, but that did not help anything. Teachers were not familiar with me, I didn't raise my hand. I knew I just had to listen, to learn but not to participate. And YES, maybe I wasn't the most interactive kid, but a true teacher can educate a child like me to be. I remember at my last celebration of the kindergarten, I have not raised my hand to respond to any game, but I've never been called. In my opinion, as I said, a teacher must get closer to a child. Reached elementary school, grades 1-4, the situation seemed like it will improve. Of those years I don't remember too many things. .. I just know that I had more friends, talking to more people, I was much more communicative. Passing and these four years, I see myself in the grade school. Same school, same fellow (just a few newbies). Instead of the classic primary school teacher, different teachers appear on every subject, I assume that you already know. Things were complicated. I got to have various complexes, like my hair with a tendency for ramming, like pimples on my face, and many others, including the fear of speaking. I have known every teacher with his style throughout the four years. At a few subjects, namely those with a more demanding teacher, I fear to raise my hand yet, and. .. even if I check on my notebook and all the answers are right, I don't participate. I hate myself for that. I don't trust in myself. I hope that I haven't bored you, but I wanted to understand my exact situation. In desperation I visited sites, blogs, applications, I searched for motivational quotes and. .. until I realized that change comes from me. At the moment here in Romania, we are in the cross-term vacation. I DECIDED TO HAVE ME RETURN! I'll make a change of look, I'll write the goals I want to reach, I will initiate discussions, I'm going to go out more often, I will do, I will continue to learn, I will do, I will eat healthily. I will look into the causes for which I'm kicking some situations where shyness and numerous bottlenecks occur. It will be hard in the beginning, I know, but at the same time, I know that I will succeed! I know that and I will, if you suffer from shyness, it's hard and probably you will never have you imagine that you get out of this jam. Change comes from you! I have already started, when do you start? I'd still have a lot to say, but I don't want to bore you too much. :) Instead, if you have situations that tell us below, be free to express your opinion! Thank you very much for reading, and we write on later! <3

Shyness can be overcome, I think you have to make a conscious effort to do so though.
