Whilst walking through the mall the other day I noticed a young woman staring at some hand bags. She was a beautiful girl, her face well powdered, her body well dressed. Her hair was so meticulously trimmed and edged, almost reminding me of a well cut hedge. Even her stance was postured in such a manner that only a debutante could reflect. This girl was, as they say, picture perfect. But, that makes me wonder, with so much invested in looking attractive was there any more to her? So much of what we do is an attempt to raise our status within the eyes of others. This sex symbol aside, so much of what we do is designed to grab the approval of others. And being an introvert is only the opposite side to the same coin. Instead of trying to get attention you may shy away and curse those of the opposite nature. Still, by its implication, that shyness is rooted in the desire to be wanted, perhaps you feel too inadequate to acquire it.

What are some of the things you do to get approval?
