@galadriel : Look out for the book "why men are the way they are" by Warren Farrel, if you can get it. It heavily influenced me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
@Übereil : I'm quite astonished that you write you don't talk that much (or have I misunderstood this ?), because here you are quite talkative.
I'm quite shy as well, but only in environments I don't know or don't know how to consider. Among friends, *good* friends, everything's gone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
I've gained some sort of respect in earlier times because I was still and quiet most of the times. I listened more than I was talking, and it turned out when I *was* talking, I had something more or less important to say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Why don't you try it the same way ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Today, I'm a bit different now. I still have problems with my self-confidence, but just now I have great fun placing my opinion everywhere and not caring about what the people might think about me ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
It's very ... refreshing, this feeling, to be able to freely speak about what I mean. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I never would've thought it could be so much fun ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Mostly, however, I'm very diplomatic. Maybe a bit too much, Maybe that's the reason why I like saying what I think. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
