[Cyllya]

I am socially awkward. I am quiet. I don't know what to say with people. Being nervous about putting my foot in my mouth makes me less inclined to talk. I am extremely introverted. I am shy. I am not boisterous. I never have stories or jokes that I feel are worth my effort to tell, much less someone else's attention. I'm not naturally funny. I don't drink. I don't like going to bars. I don't like sports. I hate my job.

And I have friends. (And a boyfriend I'm quite fond of even though he is quiet and non-boisterous. He doesn't tell jokes or funny stories much either.) So I don't think the above qualities are you're problem.

I roll my eyes when people suggest I should become more outgoing. I'm interested in personal development so that I can achieve what I want to achieve, not so that I can be more normal or spend more time in bars.

(I should try to be less socially phobic though....)
