Like you, I am not a people person. Even in T I kind of keep quiet and let T do most of the talking. Same trait as you - I love to observe people! I remember working in a line that had me interacting with average 40 people in a day (not including my 20+ colleagues!) and I dreaded every day of work.

Maybe it's just part of being an introvert (if you consider yourself one)?

Hope you'll find strength to take care of the things you need.
