Kamei-Eri has the reputation for being the most shy member in Morning Musume, I have the reputation of being the most shy man on planet earth (exaggration alert!!). Yes, I am a very shy man, and I truly know that this trait is a female trait. Any woman would be forgiven if she is painfully shy especially someone as cute as Kamei (look how cute she is holding he microphone and you can tell by the way she sits that she is a very shy person). Unfortunately, I am not a cute girl, so people will call me a sissy if I am afraid to talk to people or am very scared of women.The really most bad thing about being shy is that the shyness is always mistaken as arrogance. Not talking to people because you are shy may well be perceived as not talking to people because you think you are too good. It is very hurting if people think that I am an arrogant person when I suffer from low self-esteem and always self-hate myself so how can someone who thinks lowly of himself can be considered as thinking highly of himself (see the logic?)
So my resolve slowly surfaces, I will talk to people no matter what they'll think of me because it is always better to say something than keeping quiet cause you'll be always considered as a cocky snob. I will look into people's eye and talk to them. Considering a super-shy Kamei has managed to overcome her shynes, I think I can too. Thanks Kamei for not only being super-cute but also an inspiration for me. ^^
Haha, apart from sharing the same dream of going to Japan, we actually share the same weakness too: shy talking to others! I definitely agree with your second paragraph. My friends always think of me like that. It's really depressing when we have no confidence, people thought we are snobbish.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that Eri is an inspiration to you. I was kinda surprised when you said she has the reputation of being the most shy member, coz if you watched Yorosen, she's not shy at all. Seriously...
