Good luck!
Yep. Same here. I used to be shy as all hell, but not anymore. Sometimes it seems like I'm being shy but I'm not, I just don't feel like talking, haha.

I'm wondering if self-esteem plays a role in social anxiety. I really don't care what people think of me, so I'm not ashamed or afraid of being who I am, but I can see how somebody who does care what others think could allow it to ruin themselves.
