Cyndip good job on losing the weight! Now as for being shy, I'm in the same boat. All my life I was told to "get out more" and that it "wasn't healthy" to prefer spending time alone reading or what have you to socializing, and it was exhausting to try to fit other people's expectations of what kind of person I should be. It wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered that yes, I am an introvert and it's totally okay to be that way. For an introvert there's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time alone, in fact we need it.
A great book on the subject of temperment is "Gifts Differing" by Isabella Briggs Myers. It really helped me figure out who I am, I highly recommend it.
