I decided long ago that, like ripping off a band-aid, it's just best to dive in with both feet. Whether that was in standing before a class to do a speech, introduce myself to a boy, or try out for a team. It carried over into adulthood and into this crazy writing career.<br /><br />With the right attitude, anything is achievable!<br /><br />Jenn!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246474599139548059.post-35955327596702825982016-05-26T14:28:39.122-05:002016-05-26T14:28:39.122-05:00Stacey,

However, I have learned how to hide it or not let it get in the way when necessary. The point is, it's not easy when you have either (or both) going on, but it's possible to overcome them.<br /><br />Thank you so much for dropping by and commenting :-)Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001921970529109760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246474599139548059.post-39655482694212485792016-05-26T14:27:08.386-05:002016-05-26T14:27:08.386-05:00CC--

I don't. When I go to parties, I'm the host's best friend because I will be in the kitchen helping to clean everything. At conferences, I have to schedule in alone time to recharge. I am sucked dry after being around groups for a several hours. I am a "learned" extrovert in that I'm very good at being social and taking charge of a room full of people, but I pay a price. A few days of quiet and solitude are needed before I join in again.<br />Great article.
