I think it naturally made me introverted. At times I can ve very unhealthy introverted. I've been on dates where the girl refuses to believe I am introverted tho. I tend to have good first dates dispite my speech. I'm 33 now. When I finally started to date at 26 I had a lot of one night stands. I'm legit tired of them now. I think all those young years of being afraid to speak makes it harder for me communicate in a deeper level where love can develop. That's what I really crave.
