Re: Are you shy!
I was painfully shy when little I would always walk from school with my head bowed and walk into lamposts !!I have no problem talking to anyone if sorting things out and getting things done, but very uncomfortable with 'small talk'.
I'm amazed at how neighbours can talk at great length and wonder what it is they actually keep finding to talk about. Wish I could !!
