I need another moan. I'm sick of being me :-(

[catwallada]

Ok when I was little I used to be painfully shy. As I got older I really worked hard to get over it and now I'm a lot better. These days I accept that I'll always be introverted and reserved which I'm fine with but I still have some problems with shyness that I'm just sick of. I am working on it but no one seems to take seriously how hard it is

Eurgh, people like that drive me mad. Some people are quiet and introverted - get over it! Seriously, you're not a freak because people don't accept that sometimes nothing needs to be said.

Congrats on the new job, though!

Thank you.

I know I'm amazing. It's just frustrating when other people don't see it :-)

At this point, I tell all future employers I am quiet, doesn't mean I'm not assertive. I just don't need to hear myself talk. I've embraced my shyness and even though I can be quite gregarious when I want to (after years of working on it) I find people listen closer when you don't always talk. Still waters run deep and all that. You'read fine as you are and people will be drawn to u for u. It just takes time. I know u r cool!

Thank you. I've been so down on myself lately but I really shouldn't be.
