    Is this how the annoying social butterfly ends up with the introverted quiet person?

      My brain initially thought that you weren’t acoustic.

      Not sure what to do with that, so I’m awkwardly sharing.

        Could be a cyborg? I believe the politically correct term for a cyborg from the US is “semi-acoustic American”.

    I have the same thing. Sort of. I mean I don’t make the first move because of crippling social anxiety also, and I hate to say it, but it just gets worse when you get older.

    The only good thing is, as you get older you stop worrying about it as much. You develop a more “it is what it is” attitude about everything.

    Shy people are dangerous. I learned my lesson from too many friendships with shy people who were abusive. Now I only make friends with assertive people who can proactively problem solve and be honest about their feelings.
