1. Dear pedantic angry emailers,

    Yes I know my previous post was more about shyness than being introverted. I get it.

    Shyness for me was no fun, and I’ve never regretted trying to get over it. I figured some people out there would feel the same way, hence the words “fellow recovering” in the title of the post. If you enjoy being shy and want to stay that way, then more power to you! Stay shy, it’s no skin off my nose.

    Look, it was just supposed to be a simple (hopefully) inspirational observation on overcoming self imposed exile from what can be enjoyable social situations, not a weird vague attack on being introverted.

    Holy fecking shit. Sometimes I think some people sit around actively seeking ways to be offended.

    Let’s move on!
