QUOTE: Cup of Chica on one of my personality disorders:
"(Do the shy always have a lack of "social know-how"? I've encountered many extroverted loners: friendly, empathic, and witty in conversation, but "shy" by self-description. I'm thinking of my mother, a good friend, and that friend's good friend, and some others, almost all women: they're charming in social situations, but rarely enter them, disliking groups or preferring a private or solitary lifestyle. The article's too quick to conflate shyness with slow or stunted social development, and assumes that shyness expresses itself in all new social experiences, rather than expressing itself under specific circumstances or in a person's priorities.)"
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
