I don't look shy. That's what Union-Flag-bag girl told me.
This is probably the story of my life. Ah, the memories of school. Thing is, I don't know what I look like from the outside, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of times I looked pretty intimidated. Yet no one ever took my shyness seriously! Until I finally had my Asperger's diagnosis (unfortunately by that time I had been out of school for years). Yay for that!
