True colors
I've noticed that I'm not too bad at acting outgoing... In reality, I'm a shy introvert, except with people I've known since elementary school. I've always been the quiet type. But when I need to appear like I'm an extrovert who could just go up to anyone and talk, I can usually pull it off. I guess it's a way to make friends... Trick myself into thinking I could just talk to anyone, no matter how stupid I think I sound. Ignore the voice telling me what I should or shouldn't say that thinks way to far ahead. I find it very difficult to go up to someone I've never met before and say, "Hi, I'm Rick, who are you?" It just doesn't work. I think too much about what may or may not happen.
Sarcasm is my specialty, and those who have gotten to know me, know that too... and of course, there are the people who take it seriously. Maybe I should try to incorporate my extrovert fasade into my normal self. I don't think the people I can really talk to and enjoy being around think of me as introverted. I could be wrong...
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I need to stop worrying about making a fool of myself. I need to go more with the flow, and if the flow calls for me to look stupid, I shouldn't have much of a problem. Heh. I need to just go up to someone and ask if she wants to do something this weekend. I need to stop worrying so much. That's my problem. If I could just accept what happens and make the best of it, I'd probably be much more personable. I'll get to work on that.
