Douglas Eby has a series of posts on PsychCentral.com, Shy or Introverted or Highly Sensitive in the Arts, reviewing a number of ideas related to shyness, creativity, and introversion from a number of perspectives and viewpoints. I happen to be in the process of doing a lengthy breakdown of everything I know about myself in this regard, so this series is helping me consider as many factors as I can stand before I draw some conclusions. Eby’s series may be useful to others, who are looking for patterns in their own quiet-but-intense lives.
