What do you do when you get invited to a party and would just rather refuel on the couch? Makes excuses. Make a million of them if need be. This is from the mind of an introvert who is faced daily with situations that drives him wild. Explore his mind as he breaks down even the simplest of tasks and why they are such a bother. Through comedic storytelling and informative personal experiences, the narrative is one that will take you on a roller coaster ride. It may be one you can relate to or one that will open your eyes. Either way, you now have your excuse as to why you can't attend that party you so dearly didn't want to attend.

Written by Darryl Miller, the reflective stories on each page of The Unreserved Introvert highlight perfect examples of the vast array of situations which might cause anxiety, fear or even a panic attack. Situations include everything from dressing rooms, parties and family/work functions, telephone calls from salespeople and more. Darryl Miller has shown not only the reality of the life of a person with anxiety, but also is able to touch on the humorous aspects which accompany each example. Fear can truly be a fickle friend.
As a sufferer of Agoraphobia with Panic Disorder, I was inexplicably drawn to this book. I am, by no means, a socialite of any kind, yet was easily able to picture each of the chapters as presented so visually by Darryl Miller. I find it odd, yet interesting that I found some of the examples to be truly terrifying, but I could also see the incident from a foreign pair of eyes, conveying the mirth and humorous side of it. The Unreserved Introvert almost paralleled a sitcom of sorts, with the most unfortunate and embarrassing situations arising in a social setting. Although Deaf, I found myself bracing myself for the laughter of a live audience as each hilarious, yet traumatizing event transpired. Every turn of the page brought one wave of shock and amusement after the next, and I applaud Darryl Miller’s ability to reach even the most introverted sociophobe in his shared recollections. I thoroughly enjoyed The Unreserved Introvert and recommend it to all readers over the age of 15 years who enjoy a wonderful laugh, while pondering what it might be like to walk in somebody else’s introverted shoes.
