Wow, I have never heard anyone describe theirselves as closely as I would myself before as on this post. I’m very awkward around people I’ve just met and it only gets worse if attention is directed at me(real or perceived) but in certain situations, I learned to thrive on it. I have never danced in public but am a first string violinist. Sometimes in social settings I come across as either a bitch, arrogant, or an airhead if I feel the people are intellectually equal to myself and seem confident. I try not to interact too much so as to avoid the feeling of being judged and inferior but after I started bartending I think the constant barrage of compliments being an attractive female in a bar, I became comfortable w knowing that I was being judged by something that wasn’t dependent on my anxiety level and in turn my interactions werent forced. In my element, Im a loud, opinionated, ditzy smartass but when teacher conferences roll around I’m resigned to being the bitchy or awkward chic that people dont think they like for the first while(its always nice when people decide they like me and are so surprised by it that they fill me in on their initial dislikes of me). Now that i dont feel alone you cant crush my spirit with how annoying my rambling may be😉
