CNN reports that “Consumer Confidence Falls”.

How do they know that? Am I that obvious? I thought I hid my low self-esteem behind over compensatiory pursuits, like welding and competitive spelunking, rather well. Besides, I don’t think I’m that bad off. I have no problem with public speaking; and, have no perceptable symptoms of agoraphobia. Sure, talking to the fairer sex can require the kind of confidence I have difficulty mustering, and, don’t even mentioning answering the door for that newspaper salesman. Besides that, though, I’m reasonably socially resolute. It just goes to show you that the more you think you have the world fooled, the more you wear your heart on your sleeve.
