That's interesting, I think I can relate to your experiences. Some days I feel social, engaged, and confident ... and then the days where all my energy is spent for some reason, my confidence is shot and it's more difficult to speak. I'd like to think I'm naturally an extrovert as well, however my social awkwardness makes me believe I'm the most introverted introvert. I may just be out of practice because I've been working from home and am not in an environment where I need to react socially. I do know I can be energetic and engaging, that's a serious energy drain for me though. If you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd love to know how effective the speech therapy techniques are for you.
