The fact that you have 8 theories makes me think your last theory rings most true (she says from a glass house).
If it’s any consolation, I was on a train from the Portland airport into downtown Portland and was sitting about 20 feet from a writer/blogger/online guy I very much respected. His wife was with him (and she and I share the same name).
Did I have the courage to walk over and say hello, despite the train being quiet? No.
Did I get get over myself as I watched another woman go over, introduce herself and enjoy a quick chat with him? No.
Did I go tell him how silly I’d been when I saw him speak at the conference we were both attending a day later? Still no.
My justification was that I didn’t want to be “one of those people.” So silly. Still regret it.

So if you are an introvert, I must be a mega introvert.
That’s awesome, look forward to the next group of writings! When is the beer?
Spoiler alert - yesterday. And I'm not writing this from jail. You can read about it Wednesday.
