Thanks for chiming in; I didn't mean to imply that I only wanted shy folks to comment.
I guess that's what shy folks like to think about ourselves, that we have really rich inner lives :-) The fear, I suppose, would be that those inner lives aren't as interesting to anyone else.
It sounds like your guy and I have some things in common. I have my panic attacks under control--I actually only had the one, a few years ago--but I do get very anxious at times. Which sucks.
I did think of Jed while I was writing this. He does seem to have a good handle on himself, but I think that he and I are different in that he tends to be more analytical and I tend to be more instinctual. I don't always pay close attention to my energy levels at, say, WisCon, because there are so many people there that I want to spend as much time as possible with. So I push myself a lot during that weekend; but I can't say I've regretted it, either, despite the exhaustion hangover.
