DavilleBadt: I feel your pain I was there before, I can't help you with the girls stuff but the music part. You can start by singing another artist's hit song on stage (first with your friends, then keep increasing the audience once your confidence builds up) if you are afraid ask someone to accompany you up stage, you could take the verse (preferably one verse) and the person you are with (Someone that is bold and popular)will take the hook. Keep performing with the person till you feel confident enough to start going up on your own That's how I got rid of my stage fright But the main thing behind the success was the support my secondary school mates gave me. The first day I performed for them, they were just flowing with me it helped boost the confidence, the whole place was crazy. N.B: this won't get rid of your shyness completely but it will help a lot, just as it helped me, from performing to a class of 40 to Unilag's orientation lecture with up to 5 faculties in attendance Last year at multipurpose hall(who knows what event I'll be performing in next) So Goodluck, Start small. 6 Likes 1 Share |

infant post: EPISODE 23 The first time I tried to woo a girl was quite embarrassing lol, I was 15 then and I was sitting for waec GCE. In my center there was this girl, she was very attractive and she looked older than I was. So one day after we were done with the day's paper I was walking with two of my friends, and I signaled to them when i saw her entering a classroom I was like "guys look at that girl, that's my crush" One of them says I should go meet her and ask her number, the other one said I shouldn't waste my time she won't give me her number. The thing pained me I asked one of them for his phone (cause I didn't have as at that time). The girl was in the classroom she was busy with her phone. i was afraid but I can't abort the mission because It was a new experience for me and I had always wanted to try it. When I got to the girl: **Me vibrating like iron they flogged with stick** "Hi" I said She looks up and says hi "So how was today's paper?" I asked "It was ok" "That's good, how about the physics" "it was ok" she answered "can I have your number?" I said, because I ran out of things to say. She says ok "i'm ready" I said She calls the number but I was typing it really slow cause I my hands were shaking and I wasn't paying much attention, my attention was focused on how i was shaking and the girl can probably see it. "kai you have killed yourself see the way you are shaking you shouldn't have done this" I said to myself. The girl noticed my condition I think and asked me for the phone, she took it and typed her number, me very nervous to get out, ran out as soon as she gave it back. When I was out, my friends where hailing me "did she give you her number" one said I said yes "where is it?" the owner of the phone said taking the phone from me. "You didn't save it, what is her name?" the owner of the phone asked. Sh*t I didn't ask for her name I said to myself "Wait lemme ask her" I said as i went into the class again One of them said behind "Chineke, so you don't know her name" I entered the classroom she was still with her phone "Sorry I didn't get your name" "Chinaza" she said I didn't introduce myself cause I didn't know it was the right thing to do, I just left her. Outside the dude who owns the phone didn't want to release the number, I just let him have since I wasn't going to call her anyways, but I started dodging her ever since. My friends say I always have a story for everything, but I wouldn't have if I don't experience them. 13 Likes |

Makenno: lol...how could you have asked for her number with just two questions you asked her? |
Re: Life Of A Shy Guy by kingxsamz(m): 6:04pm On Jan 04, 2018 |
I remember how I lost my crush who also liked me,just because I was too shy and couldn't keep up with long conversations... I was only good on whatsapp lol... I can't forget that day,the embarrassment and silence was unbearable. she didn't even help matters... if only she were like sylvia, I would have been confident with her. well...we don't talk anymore. |

EPISODE 25 I walked back to my bed and sat down immediately Sharon and Sylvia left my room. I took the book Sylvia gave me and opened to the page that highlighted step by step guideline on how to speak confidently in a large crowd. After reading for a while, I took a pen and write down some tips. I used the next 4 hours to prepare the speech I would deliver in the event my department is organising. I finally slept off by 1:15am. I woke up exactly 5:30am. I quickly prepared for lecture. my first lecture for the day was by 8:am. so I have to leave home early in order to get to school on time. I had breakfast and left home exactly 7:am. I got to the class our first lecture was holding and settle down. the class was almost filled up when I get there. the lecturer walked into the class few minutes later and went straight to the business of the day. immediately after lecture, Sylvia walked to me and sat beside me "hi Christian" she said immediately. "hi Sylvia. how are you?" I asked "I'm fine and you?" she asked "I'm fine too" I responded "I hope you had a great night" she said "yes" I responded "and I hope you had enough time to prepare your speech" she said. I didn't respond this time. I only stared at her. I still don't know why I always get scared at the mention of that word 'speech' "are you not prepared for it yet?" she asked "I don't just know if I'm prepared or not. I'm still very scared" I responded. "don't worry, you will overcome your fear. just keep working on it" she said "thank you very much Sylvia." I said "do you have any other thing to do now?" she asked. "no, why do you ask?" I asked "I want us to have our discussion now" she said. "okay, I'm ready" I responded. "not here. let's look for an empty class where we can be alone." she said "okay" I responded. we stood up and left the class. we located an empty class and sat on the seat at the back. we sat quietly for a while. I decided to speak when she wouldn't speak. "Sylvia, we are here now. let's start the discussion" I said she turned to face me and stared into my eyes. I stared back at her. "Christian" she called softly. "yes Sylvia" I responded "have you ever fallen in love?" she asked I froze immediately. I never expected such question from her. "I........ I......... I...... " I couldn't say anything. I didn't even know what to reply her. "Christian you know we don't hide things from each other. so you can talk to me" she said. I took a deep breath. "the truth is, I have come in contact with a lot of nice ladies that I love and would love to spend the rest of my life with, but due to my shy nature, I couldn't approach them and I lost them all" I responded. "aside from the tutorial, do you and Sharon have any other thing together. are you dating her, or intend to date her?" she asked and stared curiously at me, waiting for an answer I couldn't respond. I seemed not to understand why she was asking all these questions. Sharon too, asked me same question some days back. "Christian please answer the question" she said when I didn't respond. "I'm not dating her" I finally responded. "that means your relationship with her is strictly based on student and tutor relationship" she said "yes" I responded she heaved a sigh of relief. "if you find out that someone love you dearly and is ready to do anything for you, what will you do?" she asked. I really didn't know why she was asking all these questions , but I just have to answer her question from my heart. "if I realized someone love me for real, I will make sure I never let her go" I responded. Her face curved in a smile immediately I said that. "okay Christian, there's something I want to tell you" she said and stared at me with seriousness. "what's it?" I asked "Christian I really don't know if I should say this. it's not proper for a lady to say this to a guy in this part of the world. I just have to say it in order not to regret later." she paused and stared deeply into my eyes. "Christian I.........." she paused immediately she heard the vibration of my phone. "you have a call" she said. I brought out my phone and stared at the screen. I picked the call when I realized it was from Sharon. "hello Sharon." I said "Christian where are you? can you please come to the faculty garden. I have something important to tell you" she said immediately. "what is it?" I asked "just come to the faculty garden and please be fast" she said. "okay, I'm coming" I responded and ended the call. I turned to face Sylvia and saw her already staring curiously at me. "what happened?" she asked "Sharon said I should meet her at the faculty garden right now" I responded "I hope there's no problem?" she asked. "I don't think there is a problem. maybe she has a message for me from a lecturer. and I think it very urgent." I responded. "okay you can go and meet her" she said. "okay thanks" I responded. I stood up immediately and rushed to the faculty garden. I saw Sharon standing beside a tree when I got to the garden. Sharon seemed to be the only one in the garden. I didn't see any other person when I got there. she smiled when she saw me and beckoned me to come. I walked to her and stood beside her. "Sharon I hope there's no problem" I said immediately. "not at all dear" she responded. "you said you have something important to tell me. what is it?" I asked "yes I have something to tell you." she said and stared into my eyes. "do you have a girlfriend?" she asked. not this question again. I thought "no" I answered immediately "I actually want to.........." she paused immediately. something seemed to have distracted her from speaking further. she fixed her gaze at a particular direction. I was sure she was looking at what distracted her from speaking further. I tried to look at what distracted her but she immediately wrapped her hands around my neck and planted a kiss on my lip. I froze immediately. I never expected such from her. saying I was shocked, was an understatement. she freed me and smile. I slowly turned to the direction she was staring at to see Sylvia staring at us in shock. then it occurred to me that she actually did that because she saw Sylvia coming. I stared at Sylvia and she stared back at me with teary eyes. she turned immediately and ran out of the garden. I knew at that moment that I have lot of explanation to do. that's if she even listen visit storyrim.com for more stories 4 Likes |

This is a case of serial whys?
Why would the stupid phone ring when Sylvia was gonn' say 'I love you'?
Why would Sylvia show up when Sharon was gonn' say 'I want to be ur GF'?
Why would Chris be so dump not to sense that the two girls are hot on him?
