Doing things Quote by Heather Moehn
““ Are you publicly or privately shy? If you are publicly shy, you will agree with the following types of statements that focus on how others view you. -I’m concerned about my style of doing things. -I worry about my appearance. -I want to make a good impression. If you are privately shy, you will agree with the following types of statements that focus on how you view yourself. -I’m always trying to figure myself out. -I constantly scrutinize my feelings and motives. -I notice changes in my mood easily.””
