Heya mate! Being shy is always a tough thing, but for myself I've experienced that internet makes an easier way to break through it on your own pace. I do sincerely hope you feel welcome around here, but considering the amount of cheerful people on this forum, I'm certain it won't be an issue for you.
I myself am a forgetful writer from the Netherlands, care to tell us a few things about you, for example your hobbies, interests, et cetera? It's easier for us to welcome you if we have an idea what you're like
