47) Terminally Shy…

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) identifies sixteen personality types. I am a INFJ (introverted, intuitive, feeling and judging). Shyness has often created real challenges in my life. That said, I consider myself very fortunate that I have a lovely, loving wife and daughter, good friends and have survived a roller coaster of a career in cartooning.

When I read Susan Cain’s book, QUIET, I felt like the case studies were all based on me. I believe shyness to be a mixture of nature/nurture, though nature is always there and nurture can vary from person to person.

My daughter, Emily, has taken it upon herself to interview some fellow introverts. She has posted a couple of these interviews on her YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9de5cj8312jq0IN23dXaQg

Her other posts are worth checking out, too.
