He also might have been the most shy person I have known. Of course, no one is shy all the time, and he wasn't shy at home or with people he knew well, but in other settings he would be too bound up to function, even to speak. I put that aside in my own life, and can truthfully say that I rarely feel any more shy now than what is probably average. I do have my moments of regression though when I am very glad I do not hold position that requires daily public appearances.<br /><br />My mother was not at all shy and even enjoyed being the center of attention, but she too was depressed, felt that she had married beneath her, was sure her children would never "amount to anything," cried often and generally saw herself as one of life's hapless victims.<br /><br />"I find your writings artful and insightful. Like a piece of painted art found a junk sale...lone but precious."<br /><br />You have paid me the best compliment that I have ever received, because you see my writing as I strive to make it. I am most touched.

I feel like sometimes that the gatherings are lame as they are to a pease someone else's worth, value, and self esteem.<br /> LOL I take meds for social anxiety and depression. Which is hereditary and fully explains alot of family members. <br /> I find your writings artful and insightful.
