Kristen Stewart and shyness and sensitivity

I’m developing a newfound appreciation for Kristen, whereas before I looked at pics and assumed she was just taking her fame and riches for granted. I know that introverts who are also shy, like myself, feel the need to constantly “edit” our thoughts before expressing them. It must be exhausting to be in the public eye where people hang on every word you say 24/7.

I really liked the way that Kristen Stewart expressed her concerns and worries about the paparazzi. Although I always knew that it was a violation of their privacy, I think she worded that perfectly. It must be really difficult being under that much scrutiny and attention all the time. This is why I try not to judge people in the industry.

Don’t like her acting. Her shyness is cute though.

Toby, I really appreciate your comment. In my opinion, you are exactly right about the difference between introversion/shyness. I can definitely socialize when needed and/or desired. For the most part, however, I prefer my own company, which does make me an introvert. Thank you for your comment.

Do not confuse shyness with being introverted….there is a HUGE difference. Introverted people have no difficulty conversing with others, they just prefer their own company and thoughts. Where as shy people may actually be somewhat extraverted inside, but are too timid and uncomfortable to be themselves.

I think people should just leave the poor girl alone about her introversion. If anything, it makes a person more introverted and/ or shy when you draw attention to it. I know myself from being introverted, and I’m a teacher! People don’t seem to understand that the beautiful thing about being an introverte is that you can be comfortable alone. That doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy the company of other people. It just means that as an introverte you feel like you can’t relate to other people on some level, or something – usually through sad, awkward experiences. For myself, it was a measure of these experiences in combination with the way in which I was raised. But people seem to be threatened when you happen to be an introverte. Some people treat it like it’s some sort of mental illness. One person said, “You’re so quiet,” to me repeatedly while on a mission trip in which I didn’t really know anybody in her line. Consequently, do you think I went again?
Kristen reminds me a lot of myself, and I think she’s a REALLY good actress, especially for her age. She has some depth that a lot of actors/ actresses don’t have, and I have heard that it is in fact the shyest people who often make the best actors/ actresses. Honestly, leave the poor girl alone about her introversion. It’s cool. There’s nothing wrong with her. Just give her some credit for being brave enough to get back in the game when people say stuff they have no understanding about.
