Anyone who is shy knows how difficult it can be to enter a room, a cocktail party, a classroom, or any other new situation and come face-to-face with a room full of strangers.
I recently experienced this discomfort when I signed up for a Scrabble course at my local library. I immensely enjoy playing the game whenever I can muster up a partner. Although I am nowhere near the level of a tournament Scrabble player, I play well enough that no one I know likes to play with me...
