Kudos to you.<BR/><BR/>What most people fail to remember is that when other people aren't coming up to them, it's because the other people are just as shy! Just because somebody is a "blog celebrity" doesn't mean that they are outgoing! In fact, most of the big name bloggers are the most forthcoming about their shyness and anxiety.<BR/><BR/>Whew. What a mouthful.
