With some people, making friends is comparable to playing a\u00a0strategic chess game. \u00a0The normal meet-and-greet, sit and eat rules don’t apply until you pass the first barrier:\u00a0shyness<\/a>.\u200bEver wondered why the shy, reserved kids in class were always the least popular?<\/p>\n

Perhaps even the most outcasted? \u00a0The truth is, in the Western world,\u00a0quietness has never been seen as a virtue.
\n\u200b
\nInstead, it’s perceived as a strange, unfriendly phenomena, and frequently misunderstood as being cold and aloof.\u00a0 It seems that most people just don’t seem to be up to the challenge of befriending and gaining the trust of a shy introverted person.<\/p>\n

Our world is about quick fixes, instant gratification and speedy convenience. The shy introvert doesn’t deliver that. \u00a0But for those who have glimpsed the pearl inside the oyster, the shy introvert is the source of intrigue and fascination, but also frustration. \u00a0How is it possible to\u00a0befriend\u00a0such an insular, secretive and quietly mysterious type?<\/p>\n

\u200bBelow you will find some tips, tricks, and do’s and don’t’s from the perspective of a shy introvert.<\/p>\n

Befriending the Shy Introvert\u00a0The shy introvert is typically a loyal, thoughtful and worthy friend. Whether you’re pursuing a friendship with them to either develop a romance or gain a companion there are a few things you should know first.<\/p>\n

The shy introvert can be understood as a\u00a0highly reserved person\u00a0who shows signs of\u00a0sensitivity, cautiousness, distrust,\u00a0fear and timidity<\/a>\u00a0in social situations. \u00a0This can be for a number of reasons, for instance; upbringing, environment, culture, or genetic disposition. \u00a0Yet it’s a great error to assume that because the shy introvert is not friendly, open, or willing to talk to you at length that they are:<\/p>\n

1# \u00a0Uninterested or indifferent.
\n2# \u00a0Disliking of you.
\n3# \u00a0Boring, dull, or rude.<\/p>\n

In fact, many shy introverts harbour secret desires to\u00a0know<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0be known<\/em>, yet\u00a0lack the confidence and skills\u00a0to do so. \u00a0This is not to say that they don’t try. \u00a0As a shy introvert in school I managed to befriend multiple shy people, including a painfully shy schizophrenic girl who barely moved or blinked when you talked to her, out of fear.<\/p>\n
