Myke Macapinlac was a shy immigrant from the Philippines who moved to Canada when he was 17 years old.
After graduating from school, he got a job as a structural designer for a prestigious engineering company.
Even though he was technically skilled, he still felt lonely because he had no idea how to interact with people.
Tired of always missing out, he started working on overcoming his shyness and social anxiety back in 2005.
After many years of getting mentored by some of the best coaches and having thousands of conversations with strangers, he finally developed his social confidence.
In 2013, he founded Social Confidence Mastery and has been helping other introverted engineers become more outgoing since then.
He also writes articles, makes YouTube videos, and records podcast episodes on creating meaningful relationships with others.
These days, he’s in a happy long-term relationship with a quality partner and has built an active social life filled with like-minded individuals.
