Urf!  Flashback to my agonizing childhood.  Whenever a teacher said those
dreaded words "verbal participation" my soul shriveled.  I still remember
the comment from my 3rd grade teacher on my report card: "Judy is an
excellent student, but she needs to participate more."  Well, they never
convinced me.  They didn't convince me to want to at work either!  I used to
fantasize forever about being invisible, or being the only person left on
the planet, but I was stuck as my non-magical self. An Invisibility Cloak
would still be a godsend even at my creaky advanced age!

Have pity on the congenitally Shy person!  We suffer!
