Definitely you’re good-looking!
I often used “shy” when I described myself, but I think “self-conscious” is closer to me. :)
I’m happy that you’ve learned a new word.

Thank you, Jon! I know two soft-spoken people :). One of them is a professor, the other one is a doctor. Everyone has to be all ears, talking to them or listening to them :). None of their words is ignored :).

Jennifer is correct! It’s called “cracking your knuckles”. I cannot crack my knuckles, can you?
