a shy girl's defensive strategy: when threatened with possible social discomfort, play dead.
i have always been shy. i always will be shy. the majority of my friends from the past 5 years will probably beg to differ, saying i'm as outspoken as they come. sometimes i figure out how to hide it, but there will always be a little girl inside me that wants to hide behind her mum's legs and stare at the floor and not have to talk to anyone ever again.
it's a lonely life, but somebody's got to live it.
