Hi Liz, I greatly appreciate your honesty in sharing how difficult this is for you. It is in fact, extremely difficult for many people.

It may surprise you to know that I have a special place in my heart for introverts and then almost all of my best friends and even romantic partners have been introverts. So, I may know a thing or two about how you are feeling. If you would like to reach out in the safety of the virtual world, I would love to hear from you. Send me an email on maeyalily@gmail.com and tell me how the experiment has been going. I hope you tame you tame your fears and allow yourself the joys of this type of connection one day.
