I am a 31 year old guy that is not ugly or goofy(in fact, my closest friends think that I'm pretty cool), but I am shy when it comes to introductions. I have a natural tendancy to approach every aspect of my life with the desire to do my best, but I trained myself to remain humble...no matter how good I become. I sink down into myself whenever I get a compliment.
When I was in my early teenage years, I was picked on by the pretty people (you know, the popular ones whose parents were obsessed with how well their kids turned out). These kids were the ones that always got their asses kissed. Anyway, I made an oath to never be like those whom I despised, and now I'm stuck.
So here I am...All these years later... trapped by my conditioning.
I know that it takes baby steps to start the path of improvement, and I am looking for the right stimuli.
