I saw a thread the other day (within the last two weeks) where someone wanted to become more extrovert, or make a better first impression, or something like that. People were recommending books that could help.
I only skim read it (thought I’d saved it to read properly when I had more time, but I haven’t), and can’t find it now, but my 21 yo daughter is very shy and awkward, and struggling to settle in at work. She seems to think people don’t like her because she hasn’t been to university, however I don’t think it’s that, more that she doesn’t come across as very friendly or chatty. She was badly bullied at school, and this is still affecting her now.
I wish I’d taken more notice of the thread at the time.
