    Socially, I'm more of the wallflower type, but then I have no troubles with playing a music gig or making a speech or presentation. I guess the defining difference is this: it's easier to for me play a role or have a job than to just be myself sometimes.

    • I'm the same way. For me though, I think it's also about being in control. If I'm giving a presentation or for whatever choosing to take the spot light, then I know what's going to happen to some degree. However, I do not like being put on the spot, like being surprised with a birthday party or that kind of stuff. I get really embarrassed and have been known to panic.

    • You nailed it, Momma Bear. It's totally a control issue. :)

    • Me, too...in high school I was "drafted" by the drama teacher to take her course because she had a role for me...me, the one who shook, got red, and very sweaty palms in front of the class when I gave a speech...the weird thing was, I had no problem at all...I loved it..I was someone else, not me. Thanks for your answer, Todd...:)

    • No problem. Thanks for all the great questions you write. (Though I can't keep up -- your writing is more prolific than my responding. Heh.)

    • Well, I'm honored that you choose to ride the rails with me, as it were...thank you for the compliment. My questions come in waves...they flood my brain from time to time...sometimes it's a very small thing that does it..and then one question leads to another, and off we go! :)
