I think I'm too nervous about embarassing myself online (and irl too) and it's stopping me from interacting with other people
I never really thought too hard about it but I'm pretty sure that's the reason I never post anywhere and barely comment on my mutuals posts and stuff despite wanting to befriend them really badly (even to the point of dreaming about being friends with them)
I just don't want to say something totally awkward and look stupid so I just end up saying nothing at all

I'm sensitive to embarrassment. In fact feeling embarrassment actually hurts physically. I feel my cheeks burning, and my chest even tightens. It's an unpleasant feeling. It's why I can't deal with strangers online being rude to me when I'm just writing a harmless post, it's because of the humiliation and maybe a fear of losing my pride or dignity, even though it's just words on a screen.

Martin Clunes will be getting his free bus pass soon, as he turns 65

I wonder if ITV will turn that into a show

There seems to be a fanatical Christian in the forum, which makes me feel very interested in.

It's been so cold recently! Usually I don't mind but I hate those moments when I'm too cold but too lazy to move to get a blanket or something :( I'm wearing 2 tshirts, a longsleeved flannel shirt and a thick hoodie and i'm still kinda cold but I'm heating up slowly

I'm about to go to the tip with mom

It's amazing how three different people can sit close to each other in the computer room and get along quietly.

I'm kind of a skeptic when it comes to the paranormal. Regardless, I enjoy listening to Coast to Coast.
