[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Most people consider me shy. I’m certainly quiet. Of course, I seem normal to me.

Despite this “disorder,” over the years I have run for school committee in hostile, moonbat territory, started my own 501 c(3), and served on the board of a crisis pregnancy center, in addition to working a full-time job and opening my own rapidly-growing business.

So shyness hasn’t been a great handicap.

FWIW, Thomas Aquinas’ peers in the seminary called him the “dumb ox,” because he was a big man who spoke little. And he turned out OK.

Different degrees of shyness. I knew a girl in college with a bad case of shyness that really hampered her. If a Prof called on her she would get red faced and her answer came out in a stutter. I lived in a coed dorm and she never spoke and if someone said something to her it one a one word answer.
