the yin and yang of an introvert...

I'm socially an introvert, but right now I feel that I'm missing time...or time is missing me...When I venture out, I'm nervous...of what I'm not really sure...An outing = groceries, walk by the sea, home. I work on the package deal. It all depends on whether I need milk or not. pic.twitter.com/wmYIMqscSL

I am not a person who is ever comfortable in a crowd... at a supermarket, a mall or even a concert...I choose my times for shopping to avoid crowds and the rare meeting with friends usually involves one other person...My nerves kick in and I work quite feverishly on a string of excuses to escape if I MUST be in a crowd...I even sit in the back row or to the side in staff meetings... Parties have always been a 'no-go' zone for me...Sounds like the typical introvert...

BUT put me in a classroom, and I am someone else... The actor in me kicks in and I revel in a good performance, demonstrating a confident, caring and knowledgable teacher... I don't even mind giving some address to staff... Not a worry...

Why is this? I have no idea...
