Like many kids I myself was very shy as a kid. Now I would consider myself a very social person and an introverted extrovert, but here are 10 truths of growing up shy:

1. Getting called on to read aloud in class made you want to become homeschooled.

2. After having to read aloud in class your heart beats so fast for about 10 minutes.

3. You could know the answer to everything the teacher asked, but never dared raised your hand incase you got it wrong.

4. You never got in trouble for talking in class and always had your card on blue (or whatever color meant you were good).

5. You would mumble a joke or the answer to something and someone next to you would say it louder and get all the credit.

6. Going to school you were always super quiet and when you got home you were basically a wild child so your parents were always confused when your teachers said how quiet you were.

7. Any small talk with anyone was a nightmare for you.

But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
