Shyness

Why Pisces Often Feel Shy Around Someone They Like

Pisces individuals can feel shy around those they care about deeply, especially in early stages of a relationship. This shyness stems from their desire to connect meaningfully and fear of messing up. Over time, their confidence usually grows as trust develops, helping them open up more comfortably.

Do any other pisces get shy with people you really like? If you ask anyone close to me they would never describe me as shy.. quite the opposite. Usually at the beginning of relationships though I'm really shy I just can't open up for some reason. After the initial few meetings I finally can let my personality really shine.

I've been talking to a taurus male for about 7 months now and we aren't exclusive cause he's so slow moving but I just can't shake the shyness still. I get around him and just get so quiet and shy. It's so frustrating to me but all I can think about the whole time is how much I care about him and like him and just want to make him happy and that I don't want to mess anything up. After 7 months I should've be so nervous/shy but I am ahh.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I feel like I'm more open and talkative around people I'm interested in or on dates with rather than with strangers and sometimes even friendly acquaintances. I wouldn't call myself shy, but I do hold back a little bit out of nervousness.

Y'all are right now that I'm reading this. I think because it's been so long with not being exclusive that it makes me feel uncomfortable and like he's having his cake and eating it too.

Another thing is I feel like I can easily read most people. I instantly can tell how they feel or just read the energy/vibes they are giving off so I know how to act or be. Not really change who I am but I can fine tune myself to be everything they want. With this taurus though I can't at all. It's like having a super power and meeting someone it just doesn't work on. It kind of scares me. Weirdly enough though I think the shyness kind of works for him because he likes being the protector and it probably makes me seem like I need protecting.

at this stage of my life, i wouldn't call such behavior shyness, but perhaps a quiet resolve

I think it's indicative of a guy that isn't emotionally available to be honest. And so it's not shyness, but intuition saying... "hey, something isn't right here" - but our like for someone supersedes.

That's me presuming a lot about the relationship the OP holds with this bull. But... my own experience jumps to the front of the line after reading it.

lol i'm not sure why I quoted you, because you were actually answering the question, where I'm choosing to analyze the situation.

apologies jukers. but i'm a figment of your imagination... so you really only have yourself to blame 😄

Gah I don't want y'all to be right but you probably are. My intuition is always right but I want to ignore it in this case. Is there anything I can do? Also my Venus is in my 10th house? Was that what you were asking?? Sorry I'm bad with this stuff

thank God I am not the only one lol. I'm talking to a Taurus guy and it hasn't been that long but it's so sad that when we together, everything kinda disappears and I can't really talk. He just keeps staring at me and doesn't say anything....

I wouldn't say I'm shy but I can be quiet around others. Mainly because I'm observing and processing. I like to "suss" people out.

There are times when I feel socially awkward but, again, that's not due to shyness as such.

Sometimes I'll be with a group of others, listening and watching, and I'll just feel like a bit of a weirdo.

I'll look at them and think "I'm not like you."

*shrug*

yep its a normal piscean thing to be shy esp with someone they really like.. i am like that.. its like i cant look straight into the guy's eyes and always avoiding eye contacts and when our eyes meet i always always feel like i just wanna die or vanish into thin air lol.. im a double pisces so im extremely shy and dont make the first move--- but---- sometimes my venus in aries is acting up and thats when things gets confusing for me.. but i almost always notice that my sun and moon in pisces are more dominant..

Wow, had to revive this thread. I'm glad I did instead of starting a new one.

I've recently realized I love the shy quality of my Pisces but he isn't really shy in a sense. He is very nonaggressive. Which yes is a made up word. It's not that he's passive, he just doesn't push but at the same time he will not be pushed. I imagine a lot of people feel like there is a power struggle in it but I feel a certain freedom. He does what he truly wants to, so there is a sincerely in all he does. But I do feel like he holds back, a lot sometimes.

Do the rest of yall hold back with someone you've known for years? Why?

He's starting to get more outspoken, he says it's because he doesn't want to upset me. On one hand I want him to speak freely on the other I am sensitive so I dont. Poor Baby, we're perfect for each other*sarcasm* I hope we find a way to balance the 2.

Definitely! ? But only if I really like the guy. I can't hardly talk. The funny thing is that they can see that I am interested but they think I am been aloof and they really like it ?

I personally think... what's wrong with you!!! Can you just behave normally!!! I wish I could...

I think we can hold back if we don't see you are sincere...

If you open up, and we see you are sincere definitely we don't hold back.

And yes... we do what we want and we don't like bc ?
