Soft shyness

“Shy people notice everything,
but they don’t get noticed.”


(.)

(How I love shy people.)

Let's listen more carefully to shy people,
for what they have to say might be more beautiful
and interesting,
than what all screamers are yelling at us...

mooie post! eigenlijk ben ik best wel verlegen... ik zou willen dat ik juist wat minder verlegen was:)

toevallig trouwens, die quote van francoise sagan postte ik een paar dagen geleden op mijn tumblr!:p

That's so nice, being a very softly spoken, shy person I get talked over a lot so it's nice to be recognised! I think that's why blogging is good :)

Mooi!
Soms is verlegen zijn zo slecht nog niet.

yes, being a listener in the world is often under rated ;)
love to take in thoughts from the world around me, swirl them around in my own head... pouring them back into written word (or typed word as the case may be!)

Ah, shy people. We are the most misunderstood group in the world. No one who isn't shy understands what it means, and they always assume we stay quiet because we think we're too good for the rest of the world. I can't tell you how many times I've been accused of being "stuck up" when really I was way too shy and intimidated to talk to people.

It's so true. I'm an introvert and I'm always so much more observant than some people around me. I like shy people too.

Oh, you just made my day =]
As a shy person, we're often overlooked and take a lot of grief for being so softspoken. Thank you so much for your recognition.
If more people would listen to us, they would see how happy we are on the inside and would never want to be considered stuck up or anything of the sort. <3
