Rep Power: 7  | A thought... just for fun! I saw the posting about the tendency (?) for some birth signs to be into HH more than others are.
Well, I doubt we’ll find a connection… However, I had a thought. I was wondering how many of us happened to be shy when they were kids? It may seem like a strange question. However, as a shy kid, I remember probably spending more time looking at the floor (and shoes), rather than in somebody’s eyes.
What do you think? Does this statement make sense? Were you shy as well? Just curious! |

Rep Power: 9  | Personally, I don't see a connection between high heels and childhood shyness, but for what it's worth, I was shy as a kid. |

Rep Power: 0  | I was shy, still now. Also noticed that many of my friends wearing heels had "man" jobs or activities (army, police, high level responsabilities in companies, ). Could this be to hide this shyness ?
Merry Christmas to all |

My Mood: Rep Power: 7  | I was extemely shy as a kid. I'm still kind of shy but not as bad. I'm not sure it has anything to do with my interest in high heels though. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 64  | I was shy too, painfully so, but now I have learnt to overcome it.
Perhaps there is something there after all! |

Rep Power: 26  | I was shy as a child, but now I'm (apparently) incredibly outgoing. But then, I work on-site, so I have to be. It's an interesting theory about shy people being interested in shoes because they're always looking down, but I'm not convinced.
On the other hand, when you're a small child, crawling and learning to walk, adults look like a pair of shoes and a blur to you. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
Overall, tho', I don't really ever wonder how I ended up this way, I just try and remember to enjoy it :)

My Mood: Rep Power: 33  | As Spock would say: "Fascinating." For the record, I was shy as well when I was a kid. But, things have changed considerably for me today, after all, you can't be shy and wear women's shoes openly in public! :-D |
