Publishers Description: This surprising and heartening celebration of shyness explains why shy people have a decided advantage in the search for romance, and shows how to make the most of a gentle introverted inner nature. Reversing the common belief that shyness is a liability when looking for love, psychologist and relationship expert Dr. Alexander Avila argues that a shy nature enhances the appeal of men and women alike and is often the key to creating lasting relationships at any age. Avila identifies the seven innate characteristics that make shy people stand out from their extroverted chohorts - sensitivity, loyalty, listening, reflection, modesty, mystery and gentleness - and teaches readers how to make the most of them in romantic encounters. In an innovative, step-by-step program, Avila provides a blend of improvisational acting techniques and theatre games designed to help shy people integrate their spontaneous sides (the Actor) into the self-conscience, self-reflective style (the Observer) that comes naturally to them.
