Be yourself;everyone else is already taken.

This straightfoward quote from Oscar Wilde really inspired me a little.

Call me bored to death,call me lame,call me an idiot,but i went to WikiHow and searched 'How to be yourself' because i think that i am too shy around people in general.

My swimming teacher even asked me,"Are you scared of adults?Why do you seem like you don't dare to speak out and have no confidence in yourself?"

God,i thought i was just being polite.

Maybe because due to me constantly stopping midway in the pool even when my swimming instructor told us to swim 8 laps of breastroke without stopping in pajamas,which of course irritated him to no end because i just couldn't swim 8 laps without stopping once.

After the first two or three laps with about 5 stops,i managed to strengthen my willpower a bit.Just a bit.Because i had forgotten how many laps i've swum,and i was constantly looking at my brother in the pool,wondering when on earth he was going to stop.

I must have the worst willpower in the world.I have stamina,but its my mind thats doing the bad.It keeps telling me-whether i'm long-distance running or swimming-that i am gonna stop by the next bend/next lap/next second and i'll still be okay.

Although i know its not okay,i will start to think:Okay,whatever.And i stop.

And the thing about me is that when people ask me questions that i don't know how to answer,i smile.When people ask me catch 22 questions that i know will keep me at the losing end,i don't answer and smile like a fool.

So when my swimming instructor asks,"Why did you stop just now?"(Note:This IS a catch 22 question.Whatever reason i said,it could only be deemed as an excuse,because they really were excuses.)

Me:*Smiling tentatively and looking afraid/embarrassed/like i am at a loss of what to do/unconfident/shy

After the fourth probing,i say out my useless excuse,and my swimming instructor tells me it is just an excuse.(Which i am clearly aware of)

Why couldn't i have just said confidently:Sorry Coach,i will try my best to not do this again?

Yes,i defitnitely have a communication problem with people in some situations.

I hate being so shy.
