Is medical school not for me because I'm a bit SHY?

Shyness isn't a problem if you're able to function when you need to. Being able to interface with patients/classmates/SPs requires social skills, but as you get more comfortable you'll realize that many people are shy and that it's just something you learn to overcome.

However, I do think you'll end up rejected if you keep typing like THIS on your SECONDARIES.

I'm shy too! I'm sure there'll be a good handful of us in med school

I've noticed that many of the docs I work with do have shy personalities, but manage to communicate effectively with their patients and each other. As long as you can learn to do that, you're fine.

Reading the subject of this thread reminds me of that scene in the 4o year old virgin when Steve Carells character is drunk and finally overcomes his fear of peeing in public.
Roll the clip:



This is of no help sorry OP..

Sorry to necrobump, but I was looking through my old content on here and stumbled on this gem. I wanted to let you guys know that I made it and am now an M1 at a USMD school :) I am defnitely not as shy as I used to be. I think scribing and just gaining more life experience in general really forced me outside my shell. Thanks for all your support!
