The Bold and the Bashful

In this unit, we told about these two adjectives, bold and bashful.  The professor asked us, which of the two we identified with.  My opinion was, it depends on the moment, I can be bold or bashful.

For example, if I am with people I already know and I am used to talking and joking with them, I tend to be bold.  But if it is with someone I just know, I generally behave bashfully.

The vocabularies that this unit has are the following:

Reticent: unwilling to talk
Phobia: very strong fear
Merit: value
Extroverted: very sociable
Adverse: negative

Chronic: continual( in a medical sense )
Kindred souls: people having similar traits
