For all of us loners, shy folks, introverts....

PLEASE read, "Party of One" by Anneli Rufus!!!!

It is incredible. Instead of trying to CHANGE you, pull you OUT of your shyness...this book HELPS you to ACCEPT yourself and love yourself for who you are! It takes a biting, sometimes sarcastic, but humorous look at all those happy, loud, bubbly extroverts out there with packed social calendars; and it actually makes you feel THANKFUL that you are NOT like them!!! LOL

Alot of folks have recommended "The Introvert Advantage" to me over the years, which is also a great book. But I just love the writing style and attitude of the author, a self proclaimed loner herself. She's angry at the extroverts, and she lets you know it!!!
