And I'm wondering if it's because I'm an introvert or there's more to it.

What are the good things about being introverted?

I think introverts are very calculated.

I'm not going to make a decision in rush, so I'll take time to think about it.

People think that you don't like people when you're an introvert, but you may like certain people.

It's not like you don't want to engage people, but you're very selective of who you engage with, and it may not be apparent to everybody.

That's what I think, yeah.

There's something I believe in, that putting yourself out there is not going to kill you.

It's a learning process.

Whenever I'm going to speak out in public, I'm always scared.

It gets so bad to the point that sometimes my tummy aches.

But I do it and I'm fine afterwards.

So your nervousness is not going to kill you.

So you ought to just brace it up and do what you have to do.

For me these days, I tell people I'm an introvert and they don't believe it.

It's not because I'm no more shy.

I'm still shy.

I can't look people directly in the eye and talk to them, but I just find my way around it.

Like what?
