Overcoming Shyness: Being Brave and Sharing My Story
I describe myself in the About Me section of my site using many adjectives. You will notice that “shy” isn’t one of them. I have a confession to make: I used to be extremely shy and still am sometimes.
I am shy when I am in some social situations, as are the majority of individuals. More than 90% of the world’s population have been shy during some form of social interaction. My shyness occurs when I am in unfamiliar groups. The initial meeting is difficult for me; however, once I start talking to the people in the group, I am no longer shy. I am very comfortable around people who I know well and most would call me an extrovert.
