"I'm Worried About My Personality..."

To be honest, I don't know if it's good or bad.

This topic is mostly stemming from my mates going paintball and wanting me to come. I went once before and didn't like it much at all-well, no where near as much as they all liked. So I don't want to go this time. I'm not sure why I don't want to go...am I boring? Am I too scared to go? I don't know, but I'm certainly very different from the rest of my mates. The problem is, if I say that I don't want to go, they'll take the p!ss out of me, so I've been deserpately trying to think of a decent excuse. Nothing yet.

But all this has made me think. I mean, I hate going places which are very busy. As some of you know, I lack in a lot of self-confidence. I'm nervous around new people, and especially nervous around girls. There's another thing...some of my mates go out with different girls all the time because they're more confident, and they don't seem to care at all when they break up. As some of you may know (I posted a topic on here and FOG Prime all about it,) I got really worked up over this one girl. Just one!

Quite a lot of my friends go to this local nightclub where they try and pick up as many girls as possible. If they asked me to come, I wouldn't know what to say, because that sort of place really doesn't sound like my sort of thing. But I'm worried...why am I like this, and no one else is??

I mean, I enjoy my life. I occasionally go and play cricket and pool with my mates, and I go to a youth club on sunday nights as well as a Christian Youth Group, but that's it. I mean, I don't particurlarly enjoy the youth club. It's good, but sometimes I just wish I could stay at home. I actually think I'm more lucky than some...perhaps they all wanna go out all the time because they have no interests at home, where as I have gaming and this website. I love to play games, and also love to chat here. None of my friends (apart from 1, and he likes going Paintball,) have this...

I'm confused. I like my life, but I'd also like to be a bit more extrovert, a bit more confident and I'd also like to know, within myself why I don't like these things, that so many others do.

At the moment I'm beginning to think that I'm gonna turn out like my uncle (about 40 years old, never married, still at home with his mother.)

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Okay, I'm not too sure what that means either. :D

But I'll take as a good thing. {:)

hey, i was really really shy once. I felt so awkward around girls. Didnt know what to say to them or how to act in front of them. Then, one night in a club, i met this girl. Well, she kinda came up to me. She was so gorgeous. Got on really well with her, saw her again and again for a few months. She totally changed the person I was. I found out later that she was the village bicycle, but, although I was really hurt when we split up, she did me the power of good! She gave me the confidence to chat up girls with no problems at all, although that is somewhat aided by drink!.....

Ah!

No, becuase if I'd meant the word "it", I would have said:

I guess that it is too long a word for you to comprehend.


See?

You're right.

"It" is a word too long for me to comprehend.

Quicker than you old man.

Although, I guess that it was too long a word for you to comprehend.
