I would focus on this fact: "non-communicator personality" or introversion does not mean that you suck at communicating. It just means you prefer not to, either because it is too taxing, or there is no one you care to share with, or a host of other reasons.
I have a very good friend who works in a little back office in a library. He is more introverted than anyone I know. He scores about 98% introvert on introversion/extroversion personality tests. And yet, he is also the most eloquent, well-spoken, comprehensible person I know. He doesn't speak often, but when he does, you can't help BUT listen.
If you have something that needs saying, focus on saying it right. Sometimes it takes practice, but focusing on the message can often make delivering it much easier.

Suffer!
When I was 17 I became very shy for some weird inexplicable reason! Maybe it was the rush of adulthood or something, I don't know. Before that I was a very extroverted person. I could walk up to ANYONE and not think a thing of it!
I hated this new found awkwardness that came with the taste of nausea!
I took the monster by the horns and showed it to the exit door of my personality!
I MADE myself get a job waiting tables! Oh It was HARD the first several months! Especially when a really good looking guy would come in and I had to approach him first!!
Once a cutie came in, sat in my section and ordered a glass of milk and a peice of apple pie. I got the milk and the pie and headed over to his table (so good so far!) and I sat the milk down and then the pie..... I managed to knock the milk into his lap when I tried to set the pie down! OMG!!!! I thought I was going to die! He was really cool about it though, he tried to make me feel better because he apparently saw how extremely embarrassed and shy that I was!
Another situation happened to a family of 5.
Everyone had ordered spaggetti and the person working the salad bar had spilled some dressing on the floor. Well here I come with -5- plates of spaggetti on one tray.....
I slid in the dressing.... the spaggetti flew in the air... I hit the floor.... the spaggetti hit those poor -5- people!!!! The father of the family had noodles hanging off of his face!
I had a moment to think about how I should handle this......
Cry and ruin dinner for them and make a bad scene... or
grab the monster and show no fear....( I grabbed the monster!)
I looked at them and paused and then just started laughing and to my surprise they laughed along with me! spaggetti and all! They got a free dinner and dry cleaning and I got a $5.00 tip!
After that the monster had to leave, he didn't like all the confidence I'd found. I WIN!!
Don't limit yourself by worrying about what other people MIGHT think... truth is you really don't know and most will give you room to just be yourself if YOU'RE ok with it!
Know What I Mean?

My husband of 9 years is a non verbal communicator. I was frustrated with our relationship as I am a demonstrative person as well as a person who starts many a sentence with the words ' I feel'. I don't remember the author of the book " The Five Love Languages" but it helped me to understand my husband. His way of showing his feelings is called 'Acts of Service'. So I now understand that when he does things that's his way of showing his love. Hope you can find the book, and I hope it helps you as much as it did me.

i would see presentations and programs of those individuals who could speak well and i would gather my friends make get togethers so that the inner shyness come out and i could talk...i am not a talkative person i am reserve but i do talk on issues and make my point...such people should discuss things with others without feeling that some one is laughing at them..let them laugh those who can't know how to co-operate will do laugh at u...think there is no one infront of u say how much you can but speak to the point being silent is better then speaking non-sence......i think i could solve my such problem better with the help of friendz....and watching gr8 speaker's presentations.

Joshua Kane symbolizes the fundamental facelessness of contemporary man and depicts himself as living among millions of strangers whose face he does not even recognize. Joshua Kane trades his skin for handmade papers and is reduced to the voyeuristic gaze as he conveys his bleak message.
of course there are always solutions
