I recently became a mum – my daughter is six months old – and I’ve been avoiding all the baby classes as I find it hard to meet new people.
Believe it or not, when I’m not doing my job on the telly, I’m actually very shy and find it really daunting to walk into a room full of people I don’t know.
'I'm a shy, new mum trapped at home with my baby and it's driving me mad' Dear Coleen.
The way I’ve dealt with my shyness is to keep going to things and faking confidence, and after a while you find it gets easier and you’re not faking it so much.
That’s not to say it’s not OK to be an introvert – you might be one of those people who is happier in a small group or with a couple of good friends.
