Does anyone else have a problem with positive attention? It probably goes back to school and hating being the conspicuous one at the top of the class (once at assembly the headmaster had to read out a story I'd written--as I stood there mortified--because I wouldn't do it myself) but even something like saying a few words to someone in their own language, while I know it's the polite and right thing to do, is impossible for me because of the huge delight and fuss that will ensue 8O
