(It’s something I forget often because it changed relatively recently. See Know thyself, or Overcoming my shyness, you can do it too). I used to feel energised by introspection. However, more recently I feel invigorated by classes and bouncing ideas off people.

I thought your page was a very insightful account, with lots of useful detail. ENFPs as 'shy extroverts' particularly struck a cord with me, as there are some situations in which I do still feel shy. Am exploring more of your site now; thanks for the link! Kx Vicky Jo, thanks for commenting and for linking to my All Things Bright entry; much appreciated.

As for the shyness and overcoming it, I totally agree with you about acting confidently; even on those occasions (rare!) that I've felt shy about something, if I act as I would if I weren't shy, not only does it work for that occasion, but it also lasts longer. A few years ago, I used to have panic attacks when the thought of going out to meet someone came up, even friends that I'd known for years. I stopped that by forcing myself to go, and acting confident when I was there. It was hard to go, but afterwards I was always glad I did. Ian P.S. Vicky Jo, that's a really interesting page. I thought it contained a wonderful insight that I hadn't been able to put into words myself, about Introverts needing reassurance in the outside world. I am fascinated by the accuracy of this particular personality test, I must admit. Firstly, I'd say that I really like the new About page; it's great to have more information there.
