TheEvilDog:
I don't see how.
The letters L and R as they are in English, do not exist in Japanese. But a Japanese R is pronounced in the same way as the English L. It is merely used as a tool to teach people how to pronounce the Japanese vowels.
The page I linked to actually explains that, as you would probably have noticed had you followed the link and read the page.

How can the quiet confidence he shows on the job not translate to other areas of his life? Especially since in my experience, guys I've known who were this bad (or worse!) around women suffered from a general lack of confidence that screwed up their entire lives.
Even Marten's better with women than this, despite the spectacular crash-and-burns we've seen him go through.

I used to have HUGE problems with social anxiety, and the main reason had to do with not knowing my "role". General social situations... my role is unclear. When I was working in public with an actual "job" to do, I knew EXACTLY what I was supposed to be doing, so I felt more comfortable.
I actually survived doing conventions with a general fear of crowds by staffing them, giving me a role to fill. And eventually I worked it down to controllable even without having a specific job I needed to do.
Most of my fear came from not knowing what I should be doing. Once I knew that, it was pretty easy.

Yup, it does:

Is that not exactly what Fairy Girl is saying?
