“How am I supposed to ‘let my light shine’ if I’m not the most outgoing?”
“Just be yourself. For example, don’t hide the fact that you read your scriptures, pray, or go to church. By doing these things and genuinely being ourselves, we shine our light more than we think! You don’t have to share a copy of the Book of Mormon every day—just let your light shine by being a true friend and disciple of Christ. People will notice your light shining!”
