Best Too Shy Shy Jokes (15)
31. I was always too shy to talk to my crush in high school. So on graduation day, I slipped a note in her locker that said “I’ve secretly had a huge crush on you for years but was too shy to say anything until now!” Apparently she was shy too, because she never responded. And that’s the story of how I missed my chance with my dream girl due to excessive shyness!
32. I was running late to work because my alarm didn’t go off. Rushing out the door with no coffee or breakfast, I really needed a pick-me-up. I stopped at a coffee shop along the way and got in line behind one other customer. They took forever deciding what to order. I was too shy to say anything, so I just stood there getting more frustrated by the minute. By the time it was my turn to order, I was so flustered that I could barely squeak out my coffee order to the cashier. I scurried off to work with my coffee, my stomach growling. Too shy to even speak up for a simple coffee – that’s me!
33. In college, my roommate threw loud parties almost every weekend. The noise and crowds kept me awake all night. I was too shy to ask her to keep it down, so I would just toss and turn silently. This went on for months. Finally, on the last day of the semester, I left her a note saying her nonstop ragers made me seriously consider transferring schools. Turns out she had no idea I was being disturbed – she just assumed that because I never said anything, I was totally fine with it! If only I hadn’t been so shy and spoken up sooner.
34. I started a new job and none of my coworkers talked to me for weeks. At lunchtime I would eat alone in my car. After a month of this, I finally got up the courage to ask one of the nicer-seeming coworkers, Mark, if I could eat lunch with him and his buddies. Turns out everyone thought I was unfriendly because I isolated myself! Mark said they had wanted to include me, but since I never talked to any of them, they assumed I wanted to keep to myself. If only I hadn’t let my shyness stop me from reaching out sooner!
35. In college, I had a crush on a guy named Jake who sat next to me in psych class. We would chat a bit before and after class, but when he asked where I was sitting one day so he could sit by me, I panicked. My shyness kicked in and I lied that I preferred to sit closer to the front that day. I figured maybe I would work up the courage eventually to sit with him. Well, the semester ended without it ever happening. I ran into Jake years later and he confessed he had a crush on me back then too, but my shyness in refusing to sit together convinced him I wasn’t interested! Darn my shy ways for ruining a college romance!
36. My shy bladder is so bad that whenever someone is using the urinal next to me, I can’t go at all. I’ll just stand there pretending until they finish. A few times I’ve waited so long that the other guy got concerned and asked if I was okay! Mortifying. One time at a concert the line for the bathroom was a mile long. When I finally got into the packed restroom, I just gave up and went to find a bush outside to pee behind instead. If only I could get over my shy bladder!
37. I wrote my high school crush a mushy love letter confessing my shy admiration from afar. I signed it anonymously and slipped it in his locker. The next day I heard him telling his friends about it, saying he wished he knew who wrote it! I chickened out and never told him it was me. Two years later at our high school reunion, he admitted he had the biggest crush on ME back then. But he assumed my lack of follow-up to the letter meant I wasn’t interested after all. Sigh, if only I hadn’t been so shy!
38. In college, my roommate always had friends over, even on weekday nights when I needed to study. They were so loud I couldn’t concentrate. For a whole semester, I just silently seethed and let my grades suffer rather than work up the nerve to ask them to quiet down on weeknights. On the last day of finals, I left my roommate a note saying his noisy hangouts made the semester harder than it needed to be. I wish I’d spoken up sooner instead of simmering silently due to shyness!
39. I’ve always been too shy to dance in public. So at parties, weddings, and clubs, I become a wallflower watching everyone else have fun dancing. I lurk by the snacks pretending I’m not interested in joining. But inside, I’m jealous of people who don’t let shyness stop them from dancing up a storm! I need to get hypnotized or something to unleash my inner dancing queen!
40. In middle school, there was a group of cool girls I desperately wanted to befriend. But whenever I would pass them in the halls, I clammed up out of shyness. One day, I finally gathered my courage and said hi to them. But they just stared at me blankly until I awkwardly slinked away. Later, I heard them making fun of me and calling me a weirdo! I wish being shy didn’t make it so hard for me to make new friends.
41. I’ve had a crush on my neighbor for months but could never work up the nerve to introduce myself, due to excessive shyness. Yesterday, I saw a moving truck in front of his house. He’s moving away and I never even said hello! Why do I let shyness take away opportunities?!
42. I am terrified of public speaking. In college, I skipped every class all semester where a speech was required. When I showed up on the last day, the professor said he would still pass me if I gave my speech now. But with everyone staring at me, I choked. I literally ran out of the class in shyness-induced panic. If only I could beat this phobia!
43. In college, my dorm roommate was awful. She constantly “borrowed” my stuff without asking and kept me up all night with loud music and guests. I put up with it silently due to my shyness. By the end of the year I was miserable. On move out day, I finally worked up the courage to tell her how inconsiderate she was, but it was too late to fix things. Ugh!
44. I tried online dating but was too shy to talk to anyone. Matches would message me and I’d freak out. Sometimes I would type a reply then delete it without sending. Other times I planned to respond later “when I had time” but procrastinated until the match lost interest. My shyness is seriously sabotaging my love life!
45. Yesterday, a coworker announced she’s pregnant. Everyone congratulated her excitedly except me. I’m too shy to gush over personal stuff like that, so I just quietly said “Congratulations” and went back to my desk. She probably thinks I’m rude or envious or something. But really I’m just cripplingly shy!
