Love this book. Susan Cain has collected some amazing research and put it together in an easily understandable way.
I've always known I was quiet. Most of the time I blamed that on being a home schooled only child. Reading her description of a class room atmosphere makes me shudder. I'm lucky that my parents were sensitive enough and in the position to work with my temperament instead of forcing me through something like that. I was also lucky that the other teachers I had (mostly art), encouraged me to work on projects on my own, something I excelled at.
I think the fact that I was always accepted plays a big part with my lack of shyness. I can speak in front of dozens of people (and do, when I'm teaching my classes), but at the end of the day I don't really want to go out with the girls, I'd rather go home and finish that book I've been working on. It was worth reading this book just to fully realize that I'm not the only one.
