maleficent

I could probably be taken for a frigid bitch on a good day... I'm shy, painfully shy, that comes across as anti-social, stuck up and standoffish. I've always been like this. and as strange as it sounds... especially when dealing with the public... it's easier to be myself (shy and quiet) around people who've met me more than once... I don't have to put on that happy face front because they've already met me. I can be me. It's easy to put on a happy face for people at first meeting... then you can get comfortable and be who you really are. (As shy as I am, I have no problem standing in front of a room of 100 people or more and demoing software or teaching people how to use the software... but if I actually have to socialize with people after the session -- I can't do it - because then my real personality comes out.)


So I'll throw this question out... If it's a behavior change (and she's not psycho like me), what changed in the time when she used to talk vs now? Has anyone asked either her or her husband what's going on with her instead of just trying to figure it out by talking about her rather than to her... (I know when something is on my mind... I don't notice anyone, and retreat more into myself)
