Hi,

I am also shy and an introvert. I am from a family of outgoing, talkative people. They all think there is something wrong with me. It makes me feel even more insecure about myself. My neice is also that way and I am trying to get her to feel good about herself and let her know she is not strange or weird and she is not a loser because she doesn't have loads of friends and is in the popular crowd. I don't want her to grow up feeling the way I did. There is nothing wrong with being quiet, and in introvert unless it disrupts your life. If it does than maybe look at some articles or books to get ideas on how to change. I am not as bad as I was growing up. But it is a part of my personality. I wish you much luck.
