Re: would we like each other?

Erm, I'd be the person in the corner, just swirling my drink, eating hors d'oeurves and hoping nobody will talk to me. Unless it's about the dogs or other pets....I can handle that.

But basically, I'm kinda antisocial. I have some emotional issues. Trust is hard for me, and you need to trust people to some extent to have a meaningful conversation with them. I mostly hang out with my mom, my brother, and my cousins. I can handle only a few people outside the family, and they cannot have children. I can make chit-chat with co-workers and customers at work, but, again, nothing meaningful. When I do talk, I'm kind of a know-it-all, and my social skills are not great.

Women, especially, are intimidating to me, probably because I'm not girly, so I always think they're looking at my lack of makeup, judging my clothes and shoes, and criticizing my figure (I'm large-busted, and you wouldn't believe the comments I've gotten from women). You might think that I could counteract this by wearing makeup and nice clothes, but then I feel even more self-conscious, so I mostly wear large, figure-hiding t-shirts with jeans or shorts. Most of my past experiences with women have not been good ones, and I am grateful that all of my current co-workers are men.

I cannot consider myself to be an adult; I've never liked adults. If you were to say "all adults go to this room and all kids go to this room", I would naturally fall in with the kids, and have to consciously force myself to go with the adults. And I only really like young children, once they're about 8 or so most of them become like small adults. Especially girls. And I'm almost 29 now. I wonder if I'll ever come to terms with my adulthood.

So now you might think I'm a real wacko. But most people think I'm perfectly normal. My issues are mostly in my head, and I manage to appear outwardly normal, just a little quieter than most. Except when I'm with those I trust. Then I chatter wildly, since I don't get a chance to talk much otherwise. My mother can't believe that others consider me to be quiet .

I dont wear any makeup unless my sister makes me (which is very rarely). My favorite clothes to wear are soccer shorts or jeans and regular supporter t-shirts. Or scrubs, they are great I dont like wearing makeup, I hate the idea of putting it on and wearing it all day and then you take it off and people think you look weird without it. If it matched me, I would wear those spiky necklaces and bracelets, I have some friends who do wear them.

While you are afraid of women, I am kinda afraid of men. I had some bad experiences 3 years ago and I am still messed up (not as much as I was 2 years ago though).

I wouldnt mind if the conversations were only about dogs (and cats). I love talking about them, thats why Im here

SLK If I could get by in scrubs and no make up I definitely would. I scare myself in the mirror in the morning now days so I do put a little make up on but not too much. Nothing at all wrong with being natural if you can.
