| Depending on the circumstances at your school, I would definitely push for a room by yourself. Barring that, you'll probably have some flexibility with who your roommate is. Obviously, try to room with somebody who shares your lifestyle preferences. Unfortunately, many dorms can be loud no matter wh... |

| Perhaps your anxiety medication isn't working properly. Can you talk to your doctor about this? |

If your question is sincere you need never apologize. |

| I am fine talking to people on a one on one basis or a very small number of people. When there are four or more people gathered in one place it becomes much more difficult. It's hard to figure when to jump into the conversation. So it seems I either end up interrupting people or just sitting there ... |

| I know this is not normal, but constant socialization really gets to me, and I just function much better going home on most weekends. It's normal for you. Do you think this is holding me back and I need to get over it, or is this something myself and others should just accept? I'm an introvert, and... |

| These people may be causing you considerable heartache. Nevertheless, your best defence is to be completely unreactive. "I neither approve nor disapprove of you. You are part of the furniture, even if you walk around making a lot of noise. I am happy and content and relaxed here inside my own anti-... |

Haha, thanks!
I do like some Slipknot and Mudvayne, too. I've never heard Mushroomhead though. |

Once I was at a local park with my children. I was sitting and watching them in the playground, and nearby ther... |

I'm not trying to be "that guy" but I like Mr. Bungle the most. They also had a similar gimmick at least as early as 1990.
Their first album changed my life. |

| I think everyone must know the feeling of having said something stupid. My foot-in-mouth moments really haunt me though. When I was a little kid, my mom and her boyfriend and I went to Disney. She had been complaining all day about blisters on her feet from all of the walking. I must have gotten tir... |

I explained to her that situations like that make me extremely nervous and although I appreciated the offer, I would not be attending. It felt good to just be up-front about it, ... |

At one stage, we were talking about crocodiles and then when I talked about snakes and other reptiles , there was a silence when I stopped talking. That is just one inced... |

I think somewhere in the middle there should be flirting, etc. I just do not know how.....sigh. If you were really that forthright you might find a distressing number... |

| Keep in mind that not all silences are awkward. And as woodsman25 says, it does take two to tango. If there is an awkward silence after something you've said, it isn't necessarily your fault. Maybe the other party couldn't think of anything witty to say in response. Did you notice the silence happen... |
