Introverted people are commonly thought to be shy, but introverts’ low motivation to socialize is not the same as the inhibited behavior, tension, and awkwardness that characterize shyness. Introverts who are not shy can behave extrovertively when they choose; whereas shy people, both introverts and extroverts, can’t turn their tension and awkwardness off and on. – Psychology Today February ‘10 issue.

Thanks to Psychology Today for clarifying this misconception about my own disposition.

P.S. I’m also restarting The Artist’s Way for the 4th time. Crossing my fingers this will be the time I actually complete it.
