In college, I was very reserved & hardly has any friends. I used to feel I don’t look good whereas my friends & family used to say that it was not true. I somehow managed to clear my graduation. A turning point came when I started working, my first job was at a call center. I had to speak to 60 people in a day. That’s when I realized, I cannot be the same shy person anymore and opened up to people and started enjoying conversations. I have never had a problem talking to someone after that. After that, I used to get good jobs and excel in my career, & also got a good husband. It's always good to have a friend & confidant to share your problems with just venting out. So, feel free to connect.
