Yes it seems we can relate to each other. Self conscious is closer to how I feel than shy, and I've worked so hard towards getting over it. But lately, I've realized that sometimes it's not work or effort that finally helps us transcend...its complete surrender and acceptance of what is. the bells help me stay awake to this and prevent me from going back into hiding mode.
You don't allow anyone to take your picture...ever? Dare I challenge you to share one here on Streemit? Might be good therapy for you. 😉
Maybe some day lol:)
