The bold and the bashful

People are very different from one another, I consider myself to be a shy person but I am very funny too. Sometimes I am not very sociable but I am a nice guy. I am friends with people of different personalities: One of my friends is very outgoing and happy, another one is analytical and cautious, another of my friends is outgoing but sometimes rude. The world is full of different kinds of people and we can learn from one another.
