Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
but I try to make an effort*?
I think it's OK as it is.
Oh ok, I thought this way it matched better the French version...Sorry ^^'
Don't be sorry Shishir. I think that "to make an effort to try" sounds a bit pleonastic. The problem as I see it is that the English sentence is ellyptical where the full meaning is:
"I'm not very social, but I make an effort to try (to be social).
And that doesn't fix the problem "an effort to try" sounds very tentative.
Yea, I fell into a sea of pleonasms, sorry.
You're right, Shishir. I was debating between the two versions and chose this one for some reason... (probably because I was waiting in line at a Starbucks and my turn to order came up when I translated this).
