i remember buying some books when i was shy and had lack of confidence whiteash
one of them were called ' how to overcome shyness '...see i was shy when i was a teenager with stutter and an inferiority complex from childhood so i know what you're talking about
eventually i had to see pyscologist and hynotherapist to help ' unblock my mind ' and finally be freed !!!!
that was yesars ago ...anyway after years of just keeping quiet ..and storing information it all comes out in the end !!!!
not as interesting as I thought. Certainly not long term material!! Just an average guy living an average life in an average world, doing average things, eating average food and doing average things. So I guess you could say I am just your average guy!!
1. Quiet. Until I get to know people, I tend to just listen and absorb what is being said around me.
2. Shy. Part of #1. I, a long time ago, had every bit of confidence I had taken away from me (long story). Its stuck with me since though my confidence is back up. The friends that I have are because they've approached me in some way because my way of thinking was, "Why would they want to be friends with me?". Still to this day, I'm occassionally shocked when I'm included in something. A throw back to when I had less than zero confidence.
3. Fiercely Loyal. My friends mean the world to me. I love them to death. Both in the real world and the CS world. I will defend my friends to the death. I really don't care if the opposition hates me and doesn't talk to me because of it. I will approach my friends if I think they are wrong, but if they are right, I will be right beside them until the very end.
4. Hard working. I put in massive amounts of overtime in when available. I love my job.
5. Competitive. I have a horrible competitive streak. I want to be the best. I'm so darn close at work. My boss laughed when I told him 4s were not good enough. I want a unicorn, which is what we call get a 5 on something at work. Everyone hears they exist, but no one has ever seen one. I was .02 away from scoring a 5 on stats last month. I think I have it this month. That would move me into the position of top agent in my department. I'm co-top agent right now.
6. Softhearted. I hate when someone is hurt. I feel bad when I see a dead animal on the side of the road. I don't want anyone to ever feel left out. A recent example of this was with my boss' team christmas gift. We have the same 4 people who never contribute to any of the gifts, but don't have a problem taking credit for the present. For the Christmas gift, they didn't contribute, so the rest of the group said leave them off the card. I felt REALLY bad about it. Plus, I didn't want my boss (who is an awesome supervisor) to know they didn't contribute, so I put them on the card anyway.
