[QUOTE="Dave J, post: 1167952, member: 41598"] Hello Vetzrah. I am also introverted, tend toward shyness and can come across (in my eyes) as serious. I’ve walked two Caminos now and have met people on each. Over the years I have learned a few tricks that I will share. First was that a smile is often enough. Second was when entering a group setting, to pause, look for the most uncomfortable looking person in the room and to go stand by them… Especially if I recognize them somehow. My third trick is to ask questions, especially simple ones. I find extroverts out number us and they will always talk in reply. My biggest change happened at 60 during my touring about Ireland before starting my first Camino. It was the year after my wife died. During that time of travelling by myself, I went from being lonely, to being alone, to being happily alone. Then on my first night in SJPdP, I met a few extroverts who didn’t care that I was introverted… they talked and I listened. As they say, the Camino provides. Enjoy your last 20 or so days, be open and smile. “Buen Camino”. [/QUOTE]
