I had lunch today with one of my few male friends. I had not seen him in a couple of months, so we spent some time catching up. As we were comparing dating notes, I made mention of my shyness. His response sort of took me off gaurd.
"I've never seen you as shy. I think it's what you have convinced yourself, and have made it a self fulfilling prophecy."
I am left wondering about that. Am I as shy as I think I am? A number of people I have talked to about it have been somewhat surprised I consider myself so. Am I just using it as a front so I don't have to face up to what an arrogant prick I really am?
But if I'm not shy, why do I have such trouble dealing with the opposite sex?
When I first met you I thought "arrogant prick" lol no just kidding lol. I have never seen you as shy, reserved occasionally (after a few bevvies perhaps). Often quiet or pensive but shy connotates timid, which I know you're not. I'd have to agree with da Lucky Spnista on this one dude.
ReplyDeleteLS- Yes, big leaps are my specialty.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it probably is the fear of rejection.
ECAG- Are you saying I come across as an arrogant prick at work?
Dinner sounds great.
B- I think I am timid in certain situations.
LS- You have now restricted me from 95% of my blog material;)
ReplyDeleteECAG- I thought I was better at hiding that ;)
Call about dinner. Life is crazy here as well.
