I was really shy as a kid. I’ve changed a lot in the past decade or so, but only in person. On the internet, I am as shy as I was when I was when I used to bring books to playdates. Why is that?
-
i should think it would be the other way around (that’s how it is for some of us). still shy in person, but more outgoing online.
are you nervous about the ease of rejection by anonymous peeps or being ignored? i’ve found that to be a problem online. i interact more or less as i would in person, but some people have very rude/inconsiderate ways…[Read more]

Yeah, it doesn’t really make sense to me, either. I guess I’m afraid of being ignored, maybe? It’s like, I wish I could strike up conversations with people online, but I don’t even know how. I think I’ve developed a methodology for dealing with others in person–strategies for breaking the ice, being comfortable as myself, ways of handling it when…[Read more]

bringing books to playdates! that’s the cutest thing ever.

If only I could think of a response to a girl telling me I’m cute, but alas, I’m too shy ;-)

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoJust came across a post at bird of paradox (http://www.birdofparadox.net/blog/?p=10046) detailing some interesting potential developments in the legal and social treatment of intersex people in Germany. Basically members of the German Bundestag and the Alliance 90/The Greens parliamentary group have tabled a motion aiming to expand and defend the…[Read more]

Genderstraddlers 12 years, 4 months agoI feel like lots of girls who aren’t pulling off the more traditional feminine styles that society has assigned them might be happier dressing/presenting themselves more masculinely? I know this was the case for me. I was taught to have long hair and wear skirts and I absolutely despised it, so I was subsequently pretty awkward looking as an…[Read more]

Heh I can totally second you on the whole being an awkward looking adolescent thing. If I never see another photograph of myself as an early teen it’ll be too soon xD Not that I’m always sure that I’m pulling off my newer ‘look’ any better but at least I don’t always -feel- as awkward and that helps. I think that if you feel more comfortable with…[Read more]
