Shy gene

I definitely was born with the shy gene, and since I write for a daily newspaper I have to overcome my shyness each and every day to do my job.
So in reality it's more than just a job, it's therapy.
But I am a lot less shy than I was. So that's the good thing.

Hey, thanks for listening.

You were shyer than you are?!? OMG!

No seriously, for a really shy person you are pretty darned outgoing at work. Maybe it's the sweet shyness that people are attracted to - you know, makes them want to share to make YOU more comfy. Who knows. Human psychology is an amazing thing.

wow. You are an insightful person, my dear.

The thing about shyness is that sometime people are able to hide it so well that not everyone realized that they are shy...Clearly you are a able to rise to the occasion. Good for you;~)

Patti said...

Lynn, you are very kind.

I too was born with the shy gene (I wouldnt even answer the phone in our house when I was young) but somehow the gene mutated once I became a children's librarian and had to face a group of pre-schoolers for storytime. Suddenly I found the inner performer I never knew was there!

wow, a children's librarian! they have so much to take care of, I've noticed. What with entertainers, and summer reading programs, and activities for preschoolers, and keeping parents and grandparents happy...
