Sometimes, i really hate myself.

[Plec123]

So im a pretty funny guy and im extremely comfortable around people that im friends with. BUT. on the other hand, I'm really shy around people that i dont know.
so, this causes a problem at parties where i know about half the people on the dance floor and i feel kinda awkward. especially when im nervous about grinding with a girl who's dancing in front of me and i cant tell if she wants to grind as well. so a couple times last night there were girls dancing in front of me who no doubt wanted to grind but i either didnt realize it or only started grinding with right near the end of whatever song was playing.
thus making me have much less fun that i could have had.

Of course, i did have fun, and when the one ska song that was played last night came on, we made a skank pit and basically cleared most of the dance floor.

is anyone else here shy like me?

Live your life like it's your last day on earth. Life is soo short that you wouldn't want to regret not giving your all at everything you do.

You're fine. Thinking about it too much is what makes it awkward. Trust me.

Be yourself and you'll see that people will respect you more for it. Being an introverted person is something I still have a bit of a problem with... but you just need to be able to let yourself go and have fun... without making other people uncomfortable.

About girls wanting/not wanting to grind: Make eye contact. All doubt about whether or not she wants to dance will be crushed.

I can be like that, esp. b/c I usually only know a handfull of the tons of people around. I just try talking and thats about that or I just dont stay long... but I am also not a party person... unless I know a lotttt of the people than its fun. Whats embarassing for me is that I have white people rhythm= I cant dance for beans x_x

On the other hand I think my job has helped me quite well with my fear of talking to people. I dirve a 17 passanger landrover at work for people from everywhere and I have to make retarded jokes and be some crazy person.... which I am not...at all... but its fun and it helped me come out of my shell a little bit.

Welcome to the club

 

[TTTT]

Definatly be yourself and have fun.

I'm pretty outgoing, just be confident when talking to new people you haven't met.

 

[Plec123]

thanks guys. though i did make eye contact a few times... i feel like i was clueless last night

ah well there will be other parties...

and, Ash- learn to skank. its a dance that can only be done for certain music, but once you get the hang of it its easy and really fun to do with a lot of other people.

hmmm i'm sort of the opposite. im not shy around people who i don't know but i sort of clam up around people who i do know.. some women are twisted like that if someone who i know asks me a question about myself i'm like "hmmm..." i never give them a straight answer haha but with people who i've just met im fine, never been shy.

grind on everything. if they slap you, move on

Reminds me of myself, I usually gotta get to know the person before they see how i really am. A lot of people that don't know me say i am quiet but people that do know im not. Just don't think about it, no big deal.
