Haha Sag... NYAG and LeeLee, I'm kind of a cross between both, but I think mainly confidence. I get so nervous around people, I feel like my throat closes up and my vocabulary shrinks and I can't get anything intelligent out. Once I get to know people, I'm fine, but it takes a lot for me to force myself over that first mountain.
I have always envied people are were technical and can understand all the new technology. I am just puzzled by it and it takes me longer to learn this than others. I am very good at alot of stuff believe me, but just not computers etc.
@Wench; You described me exactly, with being nervous and anxious around people I don't know. My throat actually closes over.In my younger days, I was in a few plays and to conquer stage fright I had to learn NEVER look in the audience. I was better off when I played a character and was not my real self.
That's interesting, I did a lot of acting too. Always had an easier time expressing someone else's emotions and relating to someone else's friends/coworkers/family than my own. Ironically, as much as I struggle with social interaction, I get all cooped up if I spend too much time without it. But select people - like I could hang out every day with my sister or my father-in-law (weird, I know).
I agree with accidentaltourist....I feel like everyone else was handed a book to read early in life that I must have missed out on. Am socially awkward and uncomfortable around most people.
Other's ability for compassion. It's has been something I have learned to develop through loss. Great question Wench.
