“50대인데 떨려서 말을 잘 못해요”…‘떨림’도 나의 일부 [.txt]

An elderly woman, in her 50s, struggles to speak fluently when she is surrounded by many people. She has always been a shy person, but the shyness has become even more pronounced as she has aged. When speaking with just two people, she can manage, but in the presence of more than two, she becomes anxious and struggles to articulate her thoughts.

She finds it particularly difficult to express her opinions in front of a larger group. She misses the days when she could join clubs and activities, but feels embarrassed and disappointed by her inability to do so. As she grows older, she hopes to feel more comfortable in the presence of others, but still feels anxious and on edge.

She attributes this shyness to growing up in an environment where she was not given enough attention and had to constantly observe others. She hopes that her friend 요조님 will give her some advice on how to overcome this shyness and feel more comfortable expressing herself. The reporter congratulates 요조님 on sharing her story with the many subscribers of Hanimeleo, and wishes her well for opening up about her experiences.

The reporter suggests that 요조님 consider reading "Self Portrait" by Edouard Lebre, a book she finds very useful for self-reflection. The reporter believes that 요조님 can use the fragmented sentences in the book to examine her own feelings and thoughts, and to accept herself as she is.
