Then it occurs to me. I have known this before and the feeling is all too familiar-I am overly shy.

This is something that I've been battling with since infancy. I just have always been shy. I have had my moments where I have been bold, but the feeling of hiding behind my mom's leg when meeting someone new has never really left me either. Additionally, this is something that I have taken more notice for the last several months.

But now, I feel is starting to hurt me rather than just one of those things. There's a communication barrier that develops, and it really does inhibit me just too much and in too many different situations. I have thought about attending toastmasters, or something similar, but herein lays the irony. I have no problems speaking in front of groups of people. Actually, I feel more comfortable in that setting.

I know I am a prime candidate for those infomercial things. I know I am.

Have you ever had to go through something similar?
