Personal narrative essay

“There are many things that I would like to say to you but I don’t know how,” this is a quote by Oasis that describes my struggle of being shy. Being shy is not something new. I have had to deal with it my whole life, and it has always been a struggle for me. Due to my shyness I have struggled through many awkward moments in my life that would have been different if I was not as socially awkward. Being shy still continues to affect me today even though it is on a much smaller scale than it used to be. When I was forced to face my shyness, I slowly started to get rid of my crutch. Throughout my life shyness has not solely affect me but it has also affected my class mates and school work, social life and my family.
