G<\/span>ood morning!! I hope you are having a great start on a Monday.<\/p>\n

I wanted to confess about a topic that have been etching for a debate quite a while now. You see, I do blog. Heck, not only I am a blogger, but I create recipes<\/a> and photograph<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

I might be perceived as an out-goer with a great personality. Well, who am I to reject those qualities? But I want to come clean. I have a shy personality.<\/p>\n

Garnered I’ve attended a handful<\/a> of social<\/a> events<\/a>. Admittedly I still have problem in breaking the ice. It’s a term used as making an introduction to a complete stranger and getting to know more people by making a fool out of myself. Well, that’s my definition. I have trouble communicating my thoughts and I blame it on various reasons:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I am way too shy!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I get way too excited and often say the wrong things at the most absurd time.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My English is wonky. Is wonky a word?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My accent is lousy for American’s to understand – I’ve been asked numerous times to repeat whatever I was saying.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I sweat, shake, shiver and often loose focus.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I often ask myself, “am I unapproachable?”<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a full time homemaker and blogger, there isn’t much daily face-to-face interactions and networking opportunities (without breaking the $$$) with peers, readers etc. I need to get a hang of things before it’s too late. If you are a great social butterfly:<\/p>\n

Do you have tricks up your sleeve for being more sociable without breaking a sweat?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

p\/s: Though a self-proclaimed Chatterbox, I limit making a fool out of myself only in front of families and friends. Better luck next time?<\/p>\n
