Borderline of Shy/weird

[Multivitamin]

Yesterday was my birthday!! I was at work..

So I distributed cake to Everyone i knew....and all of them called me/emailed me to wish me. I sent it to the guy I have a thing for too..

 

Anyways, a while later, this guy walks all the way to my desk, looks at me with a straight face (no hi, hello) and gives me an invoice to sign. It isnt even his job!!! Usually another guy comes with 40-50 invoices at once, this guy comes with 1 invoice!.

 

So i look at it puzzled, but I go ahead and sign....and then I hear him say

"happy birthday.."

im like..hey thanks! Give him the invoice back. He gets the biiiigest smile, and walks off.

 

I think Shyness and weirdness are closely linked!!

Sounds to me like he wanted an excuse to come up to your desk and wish you a happy birthday. Nothing overly weird about that...I think it's sweet.

See if you can catch him at the coffee machine or something like that....throw a hi and a really nice smile at him and see what happens!

I don't think that's always true. I think thats a bit of a generalization.

And what is "weird" exactly?

 

I'm shy but I don't consider myself weird...

[anggrace]

Yeah, doesn't sound weird to me. He sounds shy. I thik its kinda cute what he did.

Shy people probably are seen as being kind of 'weird' by others. That is really unfortunate for a lot of us, since we didn't choose to be this way!

hey there.. he just wanted to come by your desk to wish you happy b-day. i think it is so cute. I am engaged to a shy one, so I can tell you he probably was nervous (even though you showed interest) that you would reject him. Shy people are super sensitive in my experience. I agree with the other member, bump into him at the coke machine and try to talk to him. I love shy dudes

Want to make that guy's day?

 

Smile, say hello, and compliment his appearance (something other than what he's wearing).

 

I almost guarantee he'll feel like Superman for the whole day.

 

 

We socially anxious are very sensitive to what we look like in other people's eyes.

Hmm... this is workplace related, so maybe you can help... I'm seen as the quiet guy who never says anything. How can I get a girl to notice me? I've seen her looking at me once while i was in the other room, but I dunno whether she fancies me or whether she just thinks im weird. :S

Just walk up to her desk and say "Hi, I'm Shy2cool. Join me for lunch later". Its that easy.

I'm pretty shy but I won't lie, I'm kinda weird too

People always suggest talking to your ''interest'' and seeing if they are interested ,just ask for there email or phone number as if it was a simple thing for a shy person to do.I wish it was that easy.

I agree completely.
