I've always been very shy, but working with engineers, I had to be more outgoing than them or they make your life a misery, but since giving up working in London (too far a commute from here!) I seem to have lost a lot of confidence in myself (doesn't help when no one wants to give you a job!)

So that's one reason I like being on the PC.  I can sit and type and actually say what is in my mind without worrying what someone is thinking of me.  Face to Face, i always seem to make stupid remarks that don't mean anything (mind you, I can still do that when I'm online too!!!!!)
lol
