It's interesting how many people think of themselves as shy who don't seem shy. And surely they are, they've just developed strategies for dealing with social interaction. Doesn't make it any easier.
J has his panic attacks under control, too. They were bad for a while, and they were related to stress. I wonder if shy people have more trouble with stress. Maybe, if you're focused inward, the stress tends to build up inside? Whereas we extroverts tend to spread it around...
