i was so scared when i started my most current job that i had to trick myself into being less shy . new people make me so nervous . me too ! i sat in the parking lot for an hour reading a self help book just to be able to 'fake it ' by seeming outgoing . i have never tried one of those . did it help ? surprisingly , yes ! it had quick little stories of people overcoming difficult social situations . it must have been good for me because i am still there 10 years later . haha well that 's pretty cool . you should own the joint by now .
