I've been working on myself as well, at least in the shyness department. I think introversion (and extroversion) is a natural tendency that depends on your brain structure.<br />A few weeks ago I read a book called "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" by Susan Cain. It's fascinating and helps you embrace your introversion.

Even my extreme pen palling (I had 100 pen pals when I was a kid) was considered out of this world!Oh well!AriadnefromGreece!Ariadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04758280304985620260noreply@blogger.com
