WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/hugo-victor/75527/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Hugo</b></a></p><blockquote>Strange to say, the first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity; in a young girl it is boldness. This is surprising, and yet nothing is more simple. It is the two sexes tending to approach each other and assuming each the other’s qualities.<br>&nbsp;<br><i>[Et puis, chose bizarre, le premier symptôme de l’amour vrai chez un jeune homme, c’est la timidité, chez une jeune fille, c’est la hardiesse. Ceci étonne, et rien n’est plus simple pourtant. Ce sont les deux sexes qui tendent à se rapprocher et qui prennent les qualités l’un de l’autre.]</i></blockquote><p><b>Victor Hugo</b> (1802-1885) French writer<br><i>Les Misérables</i>, Part 4 “St. Denis,” Book 3 “The House in the Rue Plumet,” ch. 6 (4.3.6) (1862) [tr.

Julie<p>I wish I was braver when faced with meeting people. I tried to go to a quilting social event today. I got there, made myself a cup of tea and went to sit with the one lady I recognised. But I couldn’t find her. All the tables were full of people laughing and talking. I put my cup of tea down on a side table and left. I just didn’t know how to join in. I’ve been in tears since because it is just so frustrating? embarrassing? debilitating? not being able to do something so basic. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/shyness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shyness</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/sociallyawkward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sociallyawkward</span></a></p>

It prevented me from networking when I got an agent, sold, and could get in to all those fabulous parties and meetups at Worldcon and other SF conventions. It's difficult, and crippling.
