I'm 21, female, and I don't know how to talk to people!
  • Great response, Cary...

    It only took me until I was 45 to realize I'm an "overcompensating introvert"...unfortunately, I had (rather, still have) a tendency to help things out with alcohol...try not to go there. My other big "no no" was marrying an extravert, and to let him do the heavy lifting for both of us, socially...not a great idea, made me even more introverted (why should I try?) and then we divorced...whoops.

    Good luck to you, dear letter writer, and Rauch's book is awesome, I hope you read it!!
