Anyone else dislike introducing themselves?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel like I forget who I am every time I'm supposed to put it into words. But here's my attempt.
I'm 20. I live in northern Europe. I like filming, video games, books and comics. I have a somewhat long list of mental disorders. I've been a NEET for a while, and writing this post is the most social thing I've done in several days. I spend almost all my time alone with my solitary hobbies, but occasionally I would like someone to talk to. I registered here many months ago, but am only now finding the courage to actually post.
Hi.

NEET?

^ I believe this stands for "Not in Education, Employment or Training".

(Also, hello, OP.)

Hello!

Introductions are difficult
Welcome

I hate it too...there is nothing more impersonal than announcing your presence to a large group of people who won't even remember you exist a day later

I dislike it for another reason - I forget who it is that I'm introducing to others. Being remembered, on the contrary, surprises me, as I wonder who it is that people remembered.

I dislike it because I never know how to start :/
... so I generally introduce myself in a very clumsy way.

I also very much dislike the introduction type thing. Part of it is being singled out in front of a bunch of strangers/semi-strangers and the other part is trying to determine HOW to introduce yourself -- What do you say? How can you sum yourself up in brief? In class situations I always come later, because my last name begins with a letter much further into the alphabet, so I have time to determine what I can/should say about myself/who I am. By the time it comes my turn -- per usual -- it gets awkward and I always end up saying something in a weird way.... then I linger on how awkward it was and how odd I sounded and end up perpetually embarrassed about what people thought about it (even though I know they probably weren't even listening).

Anyways...

Welcome here

A sweet welkome to WPea.

It's taken me an hour to decide to post here and now I don't know what to write.

I love it when I read something that describes me exactly, but I'd never before been able to describe it because I didn't have the words. This is one of those times.

I dislike introducing myself too - both because it's impersonal toward a bunch of people and because I don't know what to say about myself. So - in response to akar4 - something I found easier when I just recently started posting is I just find something I like talking about and find or create a thread about that. Don't force it.

(: Hello everyone.

I also hate introducing myself to people.
So, hi.
