Mabuhay and thanks for sharing your introduction. I've been living in the Philippines now since 2005 and love every minute of it. So let's see, something flawsome about me... My ears, I have big ears and I used to keep my hair longer, then I moved to the Philippines and realized that anything longer than an inch is way too hot. So now, I keep my hair close cropped and my ears stand out. Its a gene thing because all three of my kids have the ears too. As for the confidence, just remember that your self-confidence is just a state of mind. I work in a call center, and I help new agents overcome that fear and build up their confidence. Walk up to someone new everyday and just say hello. Its really all it takes - it works. Keep up the great work here on Steem. I'll be adding my official intro in the next week or so.
