    Wonderful segment, thanks for sharing, Jim. That book is on my to-read list… Though it sounds like it should be something I hand out to friends.

    Thanks for the book recommendation. Will have to check it out. There is definitely a difference between being shy and an introvert, however I believe I am both. I can make small talk and function fine at my job speaking with people but If I am put in a situation where I am the center of attention I freeze up and stumble over my words. It’s terrible and I hate it. It’s not from fear of what others will think of me. It’s all most like my mind goes blank and at the same time I have a 1,000 things to say all at once and so I am scrambling on what to say.I haha. Getting plenty of alone time is a key factor.

      I’ve had those moments, too. I just don’t feel the need to bully my way into a conversation with a million words which is why I end up not saying much when socializing in groups. I’m totally comfortable and “extroverted” in one-on-one conversations.

        Exactly. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone called me stuck up, told me to smile more, or said stop being so shy!
