A description of myself: is it translated correct?

Please correct the spanish

Soy alto y tengo pelo corto marron, enormes ojos verdes y me pongo gafas ya que no puedo ver muy bien. Delante de la gente que yo no estoy a gusto, yo soy muy reservado y tranquilo sin embargo cuando estoy con mis amigas soy más extrovertida y divertido.

This is what it should mean: I am tall and I have short brown hair, enormous green eyes and I wear glasses as I can't see very well. In front of people who I am not comfortable with, I am very reserved and quiet however when I am with my friends I am more outgoing and funny.

Don't forget to capitalize the beginnings of sentences and Always capitalize I in the sentence. - rac1, Feb 3, 2013
Rac, why is Always capitalized? - annierats, Feb 3, 2013
For emphasis. - rac1, Feb 3, 2013

I think ' timido' would be better than reservado. Resevado indicates you've been taken, or booked. Also, you are somehow implying that when you put the glasses on, you can't se very well. This happens to me too, if I put my reading glasses on to drive, I certainly can't see very well. If you are male, stick with divertido, if not, alter the others.

Nevertheless, try again, good effort. I give you a vote, to get you started, try again and we'll help! Bienvenido al foro.

I am trying to say that I can't see very well without my glasses in general. - bayth002, Feb 3, 2013
And no I am not a male so do I change all the descriptive words to end with a? - bayth002, Feb 3, 2013
Yes, as annierats suggested alter the others. - swampy, Feb 3, 2013
Shouldn't she use estoy instead of yo soy? - PeterRS, Feb 3, 2013
