....last night when hubby said I needed to get over my shyness.....I went outside and put some more paint on the house (almost done)....as I was painting all these things I've heard all my life started going through my head and tears were rolling down my face as I was painting.....
Things like:
"don't mind her...she's real shy"
"you shouldn't wear bright colors with your reddish hair"
"she has big calves like me"
"she's going through that chubby stage"
"quit crying"
"toughen up"
etc., etc......

Nugget,
You are a wonderful, caring person. It is ok to be shy. I have always been very shy. If there weren't shy people in the world there would no one to listen to those who love to talk.
These days you can wear anything and any color no matter what your hair color is. Anything goes. We all have our own special qualities and we all come in different packages on the outside. When I see your picture I see a lovely woman.
What was said in your past is in the past. All your friends here love you and think you are great.

thank you so much Janey.....You are great. I do wear bright colors now that I am older....because I like them and they make me feel cheerful. I don't mind at all being shy.....but boy if anyone says anything that I don't think is right....I'll let them know....I'm not that shy. One day two of our managers were arguing in my department and I yelled at them to take it outside. ...and they did. Then all I heard was "the quietest person in the office...shy little "nugget" told them to take it outside!" {{{{hugs}}}} Thanks again Janey. I love my friends here.

oh, yeah, all those voices in my head. A friend of mine cured me of this by saying two things over and over til I got it.
"What other people think of you is none of your business!"
and
"Stop letting them live rent-free in your head!"
PS, I used to be shy and now you can't shut me up!!! The Effexor will help. Make sure to try a higher dose before giving up on it. I take almost 300 mg a day after a very slow very long time increasing it.

I have a feeling that your hubby fell in love with you because of your hair, your personality, your shyness, and your looks.
My husband is very shy, and that was one of the things about him that appealed to me.
Don't change who you are, there's only one of you. I would definitly miss "Nugget" if you changed. AND I suspect that your husband would too.
