It's interesting that, as an introvert, we can be comfortable on stage playing a part. Thanks for sharing all the ins and outs of your acting career. No wonder the baristas near you know you are famous😀

I think it may be more common than one would imagine, Donna. I personally, in my career, teach and entertain groups of teachers - often more than 200 at a time. I am never nervous. Yet, sit me down in a group of six and I am mostly too shy to enter the conversation! I am sure there is an explanation for it, but I don't know it.

I would never have guessed it... but I like the metaphor of an allergy to people. A writer on substack recently compared instagrams (etc) that people send you as "lice". I thought that was apt.

how can people send you an instagram? I don't understand

I don't know anything about Instagram, Terry, and I may have misspoken. BUT here is the hilarious article I was referring to - The crude language might be offensive to you, but I don't think so. Shalom Auslander is a very clever writer. https://shalomauslander.substack.com/p/may-result-in-reduced-misanthropy

'Lice'??!!!!! Oh, Sharron!!! 🤣 I think perhaps 'allergy' is a little less blunt than that! 😉

I might just stick 'lice' up my sleeve for future use, though. You never know...

I’m the same Sharron, I’d rather be at the front of the room than at a table with a few. The acting piece is an interesting one I hadn’t considered but it would be the same (not that it’s the right hat for me, I’d be more of a stagehand).

Your job sounds awesome!
