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.

Ah theres nothing wrong with you boy.
I am 15 now.
At primary school I was kind of popular but in a way I hated.
Everyone went around in one group... really only popular if you were good at football... thats the truth. I was pretty good so was popular or whatever... although I never talked much, just sat, did work and got on with life.
The most popular guy was a moron and still is to this day... biggest moron ever, and there was the class bully and a couple who just followed up their ass.(get the idea).
I hated them all but a few, the few I liked I am really close friends with today even though it took a while to relize they were good friends.
So during primary school... worked hard, played football, talke to little people... hardly talked to girls. Many times I tried to tell people that the popular guys were morons and they should do what they want etc. (very mature reading that :-D) but they just all ganged up on me and beat the hell out of me on some occasions. (and I come from a respectable area apparently).
Anyway moving onto Secondary school which at the start was worse. I got moved in a crap class with one good mate... he left to England. So there I was, in the big bad school, on my own. So I took the had job of making new mates... best mate I made then and still is... just to say at parents evening the teachers said it was the worst class they had ever teachered except from few cases. Still never talked much unless people that I felt comfortable talking with. Was best male pupil in first year shocking myself and parents, only because I had nothing else to do but work.
I still " hung " around with the morons a bit... then politely told them to stick their heads up their as.. jumpers ;).
Then went around with some new mates in second year... talking a bit more... second year was still crap though.
Third year for some strange reason I just came out my shell as they say. For no reason peole thought I was really funny... so for a while I acted the idiot and got my way through third year, meeting new friends and talked to girls *sounds really pathetic saying that*
In third year during P.E I was given the name SHEEPY by morons as I supported Aberdeen in an area of bigetry (sp).
Fourth year came and was actually first time ever you could say that I enjoyed school... I discovered alcohol :-D.
I met some really cool friends, who were at primary school with me. Both like me in many ways. Didn't bother to act isiot anymore just acted normal yet people still found me funny and some cases attractive... stop laughing :-)
Exams came done them.
Fifth year is hard but its great now... I have the best friends, male and female. I have for once in my life actually had to knock back the opposite sex... I just love the way lifr can be these days, I enjoy sociallising. I like the way I dress, act etc.
So emmm right
:-D

Too much is conveyed by your voice/looks/etc, which is what is good about this place.
For example, I would probably lose all respect for sheepy if I heard him talking in a scottish accent :D

I totally agree. On SR, not that they would, but you can't be judged for how you look, your age, your colour, your sex or anything like that. The only thing that you can be judged for is writing pointless topics and posting stupid irrelevant topics.

I'm very weird. I'm a proven sociopath, yet I love socialising. I prefer to do it on here because I can say what I want without people drawing conclusions as to how valid my opinions are based on what I look like, my tone of voice or anything else.
I'm kinda of the same Ant. I'm very shy around anyone new. I hate going into shops because I'm scared of making a fool of myself or something like that.
I don't like going out... much. I do like to occasionally but I'd rather stay home playing a game, listening to music or talking on here.

You shape your own personality as you grow up. The very fact that you're introspective enough to make a post like this convinces me you'll turn out great.
Ant fear little, everyone is different in their own special way and just because you are shy makes you feel there is something wrong with you?
Christ I can't ask my dad for something unless I'm talking face to face to him even though then it's always the same answer 'No' and when it comes to girls, well when there friends that's alright but when it becomes more then that I'll be off in the other direction.
I used to be more confident but then now that I've realised I have a gift on realising how people think I am really shy because I know the reactions of what they will say and that makes me very unconfident. I would rather txt people then talk to them as because of embarrassment and e-mail them then talk to them.
Why do you think I spend so much time on the net? They do actually say that from 6 months old your personality is affected for the rest of your life and if your parents were shy then it will normally pass on to you. Your heart beats and you feel it, your hand start to shake and you keep saying 'um'. Am I right?
Because we're both the same, I prefer talking to the people of SR then my friends up here as I've only lived here for 6 months now and nobody seems to want to have anything to do with me so I just spend all my time on the net talking to people who I don't know.

Sorry, we're counting up to "two" in my next lesson.
