Re: Life Of A Shy Guy by Prinsola(m): 1:55pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
For the first time, I read a story on nairaland just because the title speak about me. I'm also a shy guy and I've miss a lot of opportunities which I'm still regretting up till now. I've learnt my lesson and the change has begun already and I've also learnt from this write up. Kudos to the writer infant. 3 Likes 1 Share |

EPISODE 27 Dedicated to Gucciqueen38 I left the garden and went straight home. I got home exactly 5:55pm. I lay on my bed to rest a bit before Sharon comes. any moment from now, she will be here. I thought I waited for the next 30 minutes but she didn't show up. I thought she said she was on her way already. I waited for the next ten minutes but she still didn't show up. I took my phone from my bed to call her. immediately I took my phone, her call came in. I picked the call immediately. "hello Sharon, where are you?" I asked "I'm very sorry Christian. I won't be coming anymore. I got a call from the course adviser that all course rep should assemble in school. I'm on my way to the school now" she said "you are going back to the school by this time. isn't it late already. can't they wait until tomorrow" I said "have you forgotten that tomorrow is Saturday." she said "yes that's true, but whatever they have to tell you guys should have waited until Monday" I said "it can't wait. it's very urgent. it's concerning the event our department is organising on Monday. The HOD wants to pass all necessary information to us." she responded "oh I see. till Monday then" I said. "yes. I will talk to you later" she said "okay" I responded and ended the call. I took a deep breath. ' the day of the event is already very close. so by Monday, I will be standing in front of a very large crowd.' I thought. I don't even know if I'm prepare to face the crowd. I have never faced such crowd before, so I don't know what it feels like to be standing in front of a large crowd. I have already memorized all what I will say, but I can't be so sure that my mind will not go blank when I see the large crowd. can I actually do this? could it be that my mind is only trying to discourage me. could it be that discouraging voice that is speaking to me now. Sylvia said that I shouldn't listen to the voice, because it will only get me nervous. talking of Sylvia, I haven't seen her since the last incident. I have to go and explain things to her. I stood up from my bed, took my phone and left my room immediately. twenty minutes later, I was standing beside Sylvia's door. I waited for the next 5 minutes before I finally knocked. "hold on I'm coming" I heard from within. she opened the door a minute later. I could see anger visibly on her face the moment she saw. "Sylvia I am.............." she entered her room back and slammed the door without allowing me to complete my sentence. I waited to see if she would open the door but she didn't. I waited for the next 30 minutes but she still didn't open the door. when I was tired of waiting, I turned and left her place. I got home 30 minutes later. I lay on my bed immediately I entered my room. 'Sylvia is very angry with me. I need to look for a way to make her forgive me. she doesn't want to even see my face. let me just leave her for now. I will talk to her later, when I believe she won't get angry. for now, let me just focus my mind on the speech I will deliver on Monday. I need to prepare myself very well so that I won't mess up. I took the book Sylvia gave me and busied myself with it immediately. I opened to the page that contain step by step guide on how to overcome stage fright. the book has really helped me, and I believe if I follow the guideline in the book, I will be able to face the crowd on Monday. I read the book until 1am. I finally slept off when I was tired of reading, with the aim to continue when I wake up. I woke up very early. I quickly took my bath and had breakfast. I busied myself with the book when I was done with all my chores. I made sure I practice some tips as I read. I didn't do anything else aside from reading and rehearsing. The next day which was Sunday, I continued same way. I read until my vision became blur. then it occurred to me that I have over read. I couldn't sleep that night, because I knew that once I wake, it would be the day of the event. I was more than ready for the event, but I was still very scared. I was scared because it would be my first time of facing such crowd. I was sure I will do very fine if I follow the guidelines in the book, but that discouraging voice wouldn't let me be. it kept sounding it clearly to me that I will embarrass myself. the voice was doing no good to me, because I was already having headache. I tried to get some sleep for me to wake up early but couldn't. after 30 minutes of restlessness, I finally slept off. I woke up hours later. I turned my gaze to the wall clock and realized it was 6:25am. the event will begin by 11am. there won't be lectures, so my only reason of going to school was because of the event. I had my bath and got ready for the event. I made sure I had enough breakfast. I left home exactly 10am. I got to school 30 minutes later. I went straight to the place the event will hold. the event will actually hold in the school main auditorium. the number of people I saw when I got to the main auditorium made my heart missed a beat. the crowd was more than I expected. the auditorium was already filled up when I got there. the stage was already set for the event, and I could see some important figure already sitting on the high table. the minister of finance was already seated, and the minister of education was also seen sitting beside the minister of finance. the vice chancellor of the university was also seen on the high table. some of the lecturer in our department were seen occupying the front seat in the auditorium. the other two students that will also deliver speech were also seen occupying the front seat. about ten thousand people were occupying the seats in the auditorium, waiting patiently for the event to begin. the M.C was also seen standing on stage. I quickly went to sit beside the other two students that will deliver speech. Five minutes later, the event began. The M.C started by recognizing the presence of all important figure in the auditorium. After five minutes later, the HOD went up stage to introduce the event properly. some lecturers also went up stage one after the other to speak. now, it was time for the students to deliver there speech. The M.C called the first student and he went up stage to deliver his speech. I was really nervous. my heart was pounding. I didn't pay attention to what the guy on stage was saying. I might be called next. can I do this? I asked myself. Everyone gave the guy on stage a big round of applause when he was done. he walked back to sit on the seat he was previously occupying. The M.C went back on stage with a book in his hand. "that was a great speech" the M.C said "now the next student on the list is Christian Owen" My heart paused immediately I heard my name. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

FINAL EPISODE dedicated to everyone who followed this story from the beginning to this point. E veryone gave the guy on stage a big round of applause when he was done. he walked back to sit on the seat he was previously occupying. The M.C went back on stage with a book in his hand. "that was a great speech" the M.C said "now the next student on the list is Christian Owen" My heart paused immediately I heard my name. I slowly stood up and walked to the stage. I turned and face the crowd. thousands of eyes were staring at me. my heart was pounding. Christian you can do this. I assured myself. Christian be focus. I said to myself. I stared from one person to the other in the auditorium. my eyes suddenly caught Sylvia sitting at the back seat. she was staring deeply at me. she stood up from her seat and walked to the front. she located a seat in a spot where I could get a clearer view of her and sat down. she fixed her gaze on me but she wasn't smiling. I could get a clearer view of her from where I was standing. she was wearing a blue skirt and a white top. her white top had the words 'you can do it' inscribed on it.' I needed no one to tell me that she purposely wore that top just to encourage me. even when she's angry with me, she still came to encourage me. I couldn't hide the smile on my face. I was smiling broadly. though, she didn't smile, but she never took her gaze off me. Sylvia is truly one in a million. sometimes, you wouldn't know how valuable someone is to you, until you have lost that person. Sylvia is more than valuable to me. I wouldn't know what my life would become if I lose someone like Sylvia. it will be very regrettable. I better set things straight before it's too late. I will surely go to her immediately after this event and clear things up. the words that were inscribed on her dress boost my confidence. 'thank you Sylvia for being there for me' I turned my gaze away from her and faced the crowd with confidence. I started by recognizing the presence of the minister of finance, the minister of education, the vice chancellor of the university, and every other high profile individuals in the auditorium. without wasting any time, I went straight to my reason of standing there. I spoke courageously. I didn't miss a single word I had memorized. I didn't paused for a second. I delivered the speech with confidence. Everyone in the auditorium gave me a standing ovation when I was done. I felt on top of the world. the smile on my face was visible. I needed no one to tell me that I did a very good job. if I could stand in front of a large crowd like this and speak confidently, then there is no where I couldn't stand to speak. if I could start a conversation with the lady I saw in the faculty of engineering, and also maintain a conversation with the lady I saw at the garden of eden, then there is no lady I can't speak to. if I could be in a company of ladies like Sylvia, Sharon, Kate, Joy, among other and still interact freely with them, then I think I'm no longer that shy guy . there is still one thing left for me to do, and I will surely do it once I leave this stage. I turned my gaze to where Sylvia was sitting and saw her leaving the auditorium. so she actually came here just for me. even when she was angry with me, she still came to support me. I need to set things straight right now or I might never get another opportunity. I left the stage and followed the direction Sylvia took. I went outside the auditorium but couldn't find Sylvia. I search in all the corners outside the auditorium but still couldn't find her. maybe she would have gone home already. I have to go to her place and set things right. I have no reason to remain in the auditorium. I have already delivered my speech so I'm free to go. I need to be at Sylvia's place right now. I have this fear that I might not have the opportunity to set things straight again if I waste anymore time. I quickly rushed to the bus park. I took a bus that will convey me directly to Sylvia's house. I got to her place and stood beside her door. I prayed silently that things should go well. I knocked softly on the door but didn't get any response. I knocked again and waited patiently for her to open the door. she opened the door a minute later. she glared at me when she realized I was the one at the door. she wanted to lock the door back but I quickly held the handle of the door and prevent her from locking it. she tried to forcefully remove my hand from the door handle but couldn't. after several attempt, she finally left the door opened and walked into her room. I entered her room and saw her facing the wall. she was backing me. I walked to her and stood behind her. "Sylvia I........" I paused as I couldn't find the right word to say. I held her right hand from behind but she forcefully freed her hand from my hold. "don't touch me" she barked. I tried to hold her again but she refused "I'm warning you, don't touch me" she barked again. I stood silently behind her, not knowing what to do next. after a while of silence, I finally spoke. "Sylvia I......." "don't call me" she cut in immediately. I didn't know what next to do. I stood behind her without saying a word. when she wouldn't turn to face me, I decided to do it my way. I quickly grabbed her hand, turned her forcefully to face me, drew her closer to myself and planted a kiss on her lips. she froze immediately I did that. she stared at me open- mouthed and couldn't say a word. I didn't take my gaze off her. we stared intensely at each other. after a while of silence, I finally spoke. "I can't hide it anymore. my heart might just explode if I continue keeping it to myself. I have to let it out" I paused and stared deeply at her. "I love you Sylvia" I let it out she stared at me with so much emotion. her face suddenly curved in a smile. she drew closer to me and wrapped her hands round my neck. "I love you too Christian. I love you so much" she responded. we stared silently at each other. her hands were still wrapped around my neck. "I am......." I wanted to speak but she quickly planted a kiss on my lips. we kissed passionately. the kiss was so intense that I lost control of myself. I found my hands moving towards her thigh. all of a sudden, I raised the white top she was putting on above her abdomen region. she didn't stop me. she didn't even free me from her hold. she wrapped her hand tightly around my neck. her bosom was resting on my chest. our lips were still entangled. she dragged me towards the direction of her bed. all of a sudden, I found myself lying on her bed while she was lying on my body. one thing led to the other, but all other things that transpired between us in her room, should be left for the imagination. I knew very well that once I leave her place, I would no longer be that shy guy. I won't say that I have totally overcame shyness, but one thing I know for such is that, I would no longer be that shy guy who couldn't speak in crowd, who couldn't talk to ladies and who couldn't do things he wish to do. because all that would be a thing of the past. if someone as shy as Christian could control his shy nature, then there's no one that can't control his. atleast to a level that it won't affect their social life. don't allow that negative voice to always dictate how you leave your life. don't allow that voice to affect your social life. when you feel like doing something, do it without listening to that negative voice. if you love a lady, tell her how you feel. don't be scared of rejection. if you couldn't tell a lady you love how you feel about her, you will only regret it later. if you love a lady and couldn't tell her how much you love her, then you are selfish. do you know what those words could do to that lady's life, if only you can tell her. don't limit yourself. being an introvert does not limit you from achieving your dream. it is believed that introverts are deep thinkers. if only you can bring those things you have in mind to reality, the world would be better than this. the world needs you. the world needs to hear from you. don't just leave those great things you have in mind to remain in your mind, just because you are scared of failure. bring it to reality. Everything you see in the world today, was once in someone's mind. the cars, plane, buildings and every other things you see today, was once an imagination of people which they chose to bring to reality. if those people decided not to bring what they have in mind to reality, then this things wouldn't have been in existence. don't limit yourself. the world needs to hear from you. don't allow that talent of yours to be wasted because you think you won't succeed if you give it a try. you won't know how good you are at something until you give it a try. don't allow your shy nature to limit your potential. you are born to be great. be great!!!! make sure you just don't read this story, work on yourself, aim to be great and you will be great. THE END!!!! 141 Likes 19 Shares |
