I am in my 20s and I have a "shy" personality.I have no hobbies. I have never had or wanted close friends or wanted to date. I also have never been able to find a job. I feel somewhat depressed by this. It may be genetic, because my parents also consider themselves 'shy". My father can be withdrawn and my mother does not have close female friends either. I am also a 'worrier", and I have a nervous eye tic or "twitch" .

You do sound a lot like me :)
I am pretty shy...I do have some hobbies, but there are those people who are also loners, so don't feel too bad about that, unless you are "forcing" people away.
The nervous eye twitch can happen to anyone...
What do you do to not be bored?
Best,

well they probably arent normal but who is truely normal any more life is book its all a mystery till you open it up
relationships are complicated sometimes we get confused and for a good reason to there are all those questions floating around do they like you an so on i never wanted a date either but i gave it a shot and it was wonderful
Nothing is wrong with being shy unless if affects your quality of life. If it does then you might want to talk to someone about it.
Thats too bad about not being able to find a job. A temporary or placement agency might be a good way to find work (if you haven't already tried that route).
It sounds like you are being pretty hard on yourself and worrying an awful lot. The thing about worrying is: it doesn't change things.
Do you want to have hobbies?
At times it is better to be the way you are without many friends Ive had 2 all my life and that is all I need . but about the hobbies you do need to get involved in something atleast reading than join a book club and so on this way yoiu entertain your brain...
