I think being shy is a kind of disease. And in a place like university, it is a hurdle to a great many things. I should know. After all, I am quite shy. Of course, my shyness sometimes depends on where I am and who I am with. Rhodes is quite a social place. The endless social events can testify to that. Not to mention the fact that you have to know your fellow tutlings. There is absolutely no way you can avoid being social. Sometimes I wish people could just communicate through writing. It would be a lot more easier for some of us. Not that shy people have a problem with talking top people. It’s just that they find it difficult to open up and talk. I once went to Equilibrium to attend a hiphop session. I must admit, mthe place has vibe. But I felt suffocated. I was uncormfotable with the crowd of people and the loud noise. I didn’t stay long there. The mistake people make is to regard such people as stuck up snobs who don’t want to associate with other people. That’s so very wrong. Everyone loves to make friends. It’s just that some of us find that very hard to do. We are all different. Let’s keep ,that in mind and bear with the shy. In time, they’ll come around. They always do. I should know. After all, I am quite shy.
