First of all, it's good to see you again Chara
Then, back to topic. I think I know what you mean with this post, not because I am like that, but because my brother is very much as you described yourself. You know what... people can tell you a lot of things, and make you think about your "shy" attitude. You said the comment of your boss made you reflect and you could be yourself once again. Be careful Chara... My brother said so many times after a comment liek that he "realized" anything. In the end he hasn't changed a bit and hasn't done anything after these moments. Being shy sometimes is like a way to escape many responsibilities: having a girlfriend, being in relation to others when we don't like them, finishing our studies, being able to work. Exactly as you said. It's very dangerous because once you enter the circle, even after people make you reflect about things, being your "former self" and free from any weakness is hard. It's easy to understand your own weakness, the hard part is to fully take action when needed after reflecting!
