I'm definitely more of an introvert than an extrovert, too, although when I'm just hanging out as "one of the guys", I feel a lot more social and a lot less awkward. But when I'm hanging out with a bunch of girl friends or I get hit on, I suddenly feel more vulnerable and tend to shell-up a little bit. :/ It's weird to really think about. I'm not really sure how my own brain works half the time. It's like my feminine side super-activates my anxiety.

How you described yourself sounds like the opposite of me. I'm also an introvert, but my feminine side as it could be called, has quite the opposite effect on me in regards to anxiety. Maybe that's the way it has to be for me. I think it would've been far more difficult for me to pursue activities like crossdressing and NBE if such activities made me feel more anxious instead of less. If anything, I think my feminine side makes me feel more confident with myself and that subsequently decreases my anxiety.

As far as shelling up when a girl hits on me, I don't think that's an issue for me as I tend to oblivious when it comes to flirting. If I did pick up on a girl flirting with me, I would probably blush, smile and act coy.
