Thank you for this article. I've always considered myself an introvert, but now I realize I'm just shy to connect with others, and this causes unhappiness.

I never had a huge problem with it, but I always felt awkward in a strange room. I sometimes just asked myself to imagine the worst-case scenario. Usually, even the worst isn't very bad. People are literally afraid of fear.

I did not read the article but I have always been told that when you enter a "strange" room, introduce yourself. If one of the 1st things your brain hears is its own name in its own voice it helps you relax because your brain tells you that this is a "safe" space.
