Isabel May was a self-professed bookworm as a kid, but she didn't exactly have a knack for bringing words on the page to life on the stage. "I was terrified of theater, and when I made the attempt to participate in a play, it was disastrous," she told "Awards Chatter." May admitted that she also found it difficult to relate to her classmates, telling Schön!, "I rarely communicated with other people and therefore had no social life."
May told "Awards Chatter" that her sixth-grade English teacher noticed that she was a bit of a loner. "He encouraged my parents to get me to socialize a little bit more," she recalled. According to May, that teacher deserves some credit for her decision to give acting another chance. As May further explained to Terroir, he also recognized that she had a creative mind and told her parents, "She has to express this in some way."
But before her acting career took off, May was forced to work on her socialization skills when she landed a job at a Brandy Melville clothing store at age 15. "It was horrible, but I lasted a year," she told KTLA 5. While acting also required her to interact with people constantly, her views on socializing didn't change after she got her dream job. "I'm very much an introvert," she told "Awards Chatter."
