[color=#993300]IRL or on the internet? Either way if they are, they are stupid uneducated people who can't use the word coward in the right context. Social anxiety is actually pretty widespread, just in different severities. Cowardice is something very different, not being able to take blame for your actions, performing acts out of selfishness through deceit or trickery. But anxiety and nervousness isn't cowardice, people aren't called cowards for having phobias, they're just called phobics
IRL. The area I live in is...well to be blunt: Fucking crap. But I'm kinda used to the ignorance, I've had to deal with homophobes too. As soon as I get the chance I'm bolting.
I've been trying to push myself to get better by talking to new people so at least I'm making some progress however slow.
[color=#993300]Progress is progress, and things on this scale can't be rushed. As I say, all conflicts come from fear and misunderstanding, coming from a conservative community, you see how people are unwilling to change due to fear. But things as they are, the best thing to do is avoid conflict in the first place.
