"I went to the Glasgow Youth Theatre and they just let me in. But I was so shy that I was there for about six weeks without actually introducing myself"

This quote by Bill Forsyth speaks to the power of shyness and how it can avoid us from presenting ourselves and engaging with others. It is a suggestion that even when we are presented with a chance, we can be held back by our own insecurities. In this case, Bill Forsyth was presented with the chance to sign up with the Glasgow Youth Theatre, however his shyness prevented him from presenting himself for 6 weeks. This quote is a suggestion that we should not let our shyness avoid us from taking advantage of the chances that come our method. We should aim to be brave and take the effort to introduce ourselves and engage with others. It is only then that we can truly make the most of the chances that come our method.
