Honestly, I don't know what part of this post i have learnt from and enjoyed,  the actual post or the comments that followed. Identifying what one considers a flaw or weakness is one thing, finding ways to improve or even manage it is another thing. 
At the end of the day, that is why there is much emphasis on originality and not trying to be like everyone else or succeed in what everyone else has.

Jim Morrison, lead singer for the Doors was what is called painfully shy.  To the point where he often sang looking at the band during stage shows.  It also may have contributed to his alcohol and drug use which eventually led to his death at 28.  

I've wondered how many prominent drug overdoses were fed by insecurity? 

We can do a lot.  At anything we decide we can do.  

It is "It's not Fair" all over again.  Looking for to be a victim.  
Be a victim.  Don't improve your language skills-and for heaven's sake, don't use Grammerly or one of the other free software designed for the task.
Be a victim.  Certainly you can hide the fact that EVERY SINGLE successful video maker uses a script and has multiple 'takes'.  
Be a victim.  Don't engage with anyone because you are too shy.  Or maybe they don't want to hear what you have to say. Or that they already have enough comments, yours won't matter.

Urrrrrgggghhhh.  I'll stop now :)  How is smallsteps today?

Heroes are indeed made. Through trial and error. And improving every step of the way. Nobody is magically born with knowledge, it is acquired through long hours of practice.

One of the daily things I ask myself is.

"What could I do,that I would do, to make my life a little better?"

Even the smallest of daily effort can compound into massive changes over a longer period of time. 

I have some very beautiful sisters. I was the ugly duckling of the house. Wherever I went, my sisters stood out more than I did. But when I started growing up, I started reading and talking to people. After that, people were happy to see me and talk to me. I had managed to stand out because of my words. Likewise, I am the shortest in my house and because of the posture I have, the way I walk, people think I am the tallest. I think everyone has skills and flaws that they should take advantage of. It's not what you have, but what you do with the gifts you have. Nice Sunday, @tarazkp.

I'm an extreme introvert and is highly noticeable in person, but with blogging in WordPress and now in Hive, but I may sound like a online extrovert blabbering stuff and sometimes engaging on interesting contents.

I rarely go social and mostly hides in my room or go on adventures alone, but I enjoy writing as I can express myself better than actual talking, which is exhausting to me.

It takes daily motivation aside from community support. WP has a great community of writers, but I don't write to be **liked**, because the right people will engage if they can connect to your contents. 

Still, engaging is still the best way to make connections on most blogging platforms, especially in Hive since most upvotes are automated and voicing out about how you feel/think about the post will make the content even more relevant and *actually* useful.

Also, people who opt to write in their native language shouldn't feel bad about it, most languages can be translated in-browser when reading posts.

On Hive the doors are equally open to both extroverts and introverts, provided they are willing to write what the community wants to read.

Okay so here you have it! You are way smarter than me lol.
The other unmentioned here is that some people are by nature dishonest.

We taught a French refugee English unknowingly unleashing a con man into our society.
In the first place he lied, as he was never a refugee, but he infiltrated the refugee group that we taught.
Now I won't relate all of the damages that he has caused, but he wore his mask very effectively.

Some of us can try our utmost to improve ourselves every day (the good), but sadly there are others that are working at improving their devious skills every day (the bad).
They also call this improvement!

I'll quite happily admit to being dumb XD

I totally understand being cripplingly shy.  And there's some things where no amount of work helps (though sheer bloody minded determination can get you through some things, sometimes the fallout is not worth the effort).  In my case it's public speaking, extending somewhat into ~~debacles~~ debates/arguments.  I have been able to push through when forced to do it for school and uni but these days I will absolutely avoid it at any and all cost.  Even trying to think of it as a performance in which I was a character (because for whatever reason I'm perfectly fine on stage and even find it fun) failed XD

On that note, with shy musicians and sporting stars, I think it's easier in some ways because you're performing.  Sporting stats in particular while they might use crowd eneergy, don't necessarily have to look at or even care that much about the crowd when they're doing their thing, even if at the start they have some reservations about performing in front of a lot of people.

Other things can be worked around.  You probably know that there's quite a few massive introverts that make lots of comments around here because text is a lot easier than face to face for a lot of us ;D

There is always room for improvement if you want to do so. As much as I agree with you on the genetic part, sometimes the answer people give is just an easy response for not getting into the matter. They like the outcome but they do not even want to put the time and effort to try to reach it.

If you go over the story of any success there is a lot of effort in many of the cases, some people do not feel that effort because they love what they do, but that doesn't mean they have spent many hours working to get the outcome.

Yup Taraz. I agree entirely. I have always found people to be incredibly selective with which metrics they use when comparing their 'luck' and 'talents' or lack thereof to another's, often citing the 'reasons' the other person was always gonna win as it wasn't a level playing field.

#### Playing fields are rarely level in life when viewed through this sort of lens.
#####
The real problem is that once a declaration has been made by someone who deems their entry level in to any endeavor to be insufficient, the battle is over!
#####
Let's take an extremely simple example that **everyone** within this community can relate to. I always fancied trying my hand at blogging. I have strong opinions, love to engage with others, they don't have to be like me, or agree with me, they just have something intriguing, interesting or engaging to say. 
####
The problem was I knew I did not have the writing skills to be a blogger. Fast forward to the day I joined this community, I knew that I wanted to improve my quality of writing and skill level a **lot.** So I practiced and practiced. I entered short story contests and wrote deep in-depth posts although I knew the financial reward was only likely to be a few cents, usually less than 10 cents...
#####
What many who recommended I put out short posts till I had a following did not see was, that was not the reward I was aiming for!
#####
When I look at my posts here now, I am much happier. I see all the places I have yet to improve but I also celebrate the small victories and can now spot the ways I have 'levelled up.'
####
I could mention so many areas in life I have made almost imperceptible improvements that have compounded over time, I won't detail them here because the one skill I have yet to master is *brevity.*
####
>I believe that we can't do anything if we put our mind to it
#####
Absolutely, someone needs to tell the 'gurus' this as they still make fortunes off pedaling that crap!
#####
People rarely take the time to make the improvements that don't produce results in 60 minutes or less ((the scourge of modern life I think)) but those that do, see doors open that never seemed accessible to them before.
#####
I may make a hash of this quote but I am paraphrasing...
#####
>Never compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
#####
I would take it even a step further when it comes to introspective analysis of one's self...
#####
>If who you are today is better than who you were yesterday, celebrate that victory, no matter how small or seeming insignificant it may appear.
