		<description>Hi Rommel,

Thanks for coming around:)It&#039;s really good to find out that I&#039;m not alone. You guys also have your own challenges and I believe these things don&#039;t happen without a reason. Balance is a very huge factor in having a fulfilling life. What you feel you lack, you give effort to do good in it. What you think you are good at, you nurture.

It&#039;s really good that you get to balance things in life. I am also in the process of juggling roles - as a son, a boyfriend, a brother and a friend. I believe it really isn&#039;t easy but facing the challenge day after day makes life so worth living.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed your post. Like you, I also consider myself as an introvert. Although every now and then I breakout of my shell and get out of my comfort zone. I join clubs and community bands, even became a leader of one.

If you ask me, I&#039;d rather sit on a computer, go for a long ride on my bike or play-along with the stereo with my &#039;saxomophone&#039; (I&#039;m not good at it - but who cares - I don&#039;t do it for anyone but for me). In fact, I seem to do my best when I stop caring what others think.</description>

		<description>Hi asylum-seeker,

Well, good to know I&#039;m not alone in this journey :D Really, it makes me feel much more normal. Battles, though individually faced are shared by different people.

I believe telling people is no way to show them how we changed. It is by doing so that they really get the idea and tell themselves &quot;hey, this guy isn&#039;t kill joy after all&quot;.

Thanks for sharing:)</description>

		<description>Wow, it feels like you were writing about me.  People always see me as an introvert, and I think over the years I&#039;ve come to believe that myself.  I definitely want to change this image; &#039;problem is, I just find it so hard, seeing how a lot of people I know see me a certain, fixed way.

But I know I&#039;m going to have to grow out of my old self sooner or later.  I&#039;m making slow progress, but I&#039;m getting there. =)</description>
