"I'm quite shy, so if there's a guy I like, I actually ignore him because I can't speak to him. I get all red and sweaty, and it's embarrassing"
- Silvia Colloca
About this Quote
Silvia Colloca's quote speaks to the difficulty of expressing one's feelings for somebody they are drawn in to. It is clear that she is shy and discovers it difficult to interact her feelings to the individual she likes. She is so overwhelmed by her emotions that she finds it much easier to overlook the individual she likes instead of risk embarrassment. Her physical reactions of blushing and sweating suggest her stress and anxiety and worry of rejection. It is reasonable that she would rather avoid the scenario than danger being rejected. Her quote talks to the problem of revealing one's sensations and the worry of being susceptible. It is a reminder that all of us have our own battles and that it is important to be comprehending and encouraging of others.
