I have it. Very much so.
The funny part is that I ended up with a BA in sociology and I'm doing a MA in mass communication. I've also landed a job at the main desk of a huge company, with dozens of people wanting something all the time, and numerous rude folks on the phone. Then, for a while, I worked at a newspaper as a reporter. Both of these jobs were horrible, and each day I went to work mortified, and ended up exhausted when I came back home. And yet, somehow, I was good at it. I quit those jobs anyhow, and did some freelance PR stuff. Now I'm looking to get into the corporate environment, and I'm really looking forward to doing away with all this shyness crap. It's extremely hard for me, let me tell you. But I'm getting there. I’ve only realized a few days ago that I ended up doing the thing that always scared me the most – talking to people you don’t know.
Well, fine. I could have ended up as a science teacher. I was terrified of that in school, so I guess it could’ve been worse.
