I’m so happy this group exists. Are any of y’all in TN? Would a shystraddler meetup be an oxymoron?
-
I live in Nashville, and I grew up in Memphis. A shystraddler meetup would be awesome and kind of terrifying and awesome.
-
Wow same! Grew up in Memphis, in school at Nashville. What’d a shystradller meetup look like? Going to bookman/bookwoman and readin g in proximity to one another counts as socialization yes? :p

I’m terribly shy and awkward around girls.. Not sure how to get over that. Anyone else in the same situation? lol
-
I totally know how you feel. The way to get over it is a process, and you take baby steps. One of the first things to do is just to talk even if you feel awkward, and accept that you’ll probably say stupid things that the other person doesn’t even realize are stupid. Average people, I’ve found, don’t pay too close attention to what you say.

Yes, I’m totally the same! I get really shy and usually end up making a fool of myself somehow whenever I’m around a girl I like. Its embarrassing.
Sharks, thats great advice particularly about keeping conversations simple and asking people about themselves, genius.
But seriously, I hope this is something that goes with time, hmfph…
-
Sometimes skittering is okay though. I met one of my best friends because he and I had accidentally skittered our way under the same staircase at a college scholarship competition weekend. (There wasn’t enough room for us to skitter away from each other there) It can turn out well. Not that I recommend it as a general strategy.
-
Aww, sweet story! I bet that it was alarming to meet someone so unexpectedly. Would be funny if it was a general strategy for meeting people tho.
I’m actually ok normally but when it comes to girls I’m suddenly introverted, shy and clumsy (ok, im always fairly clumsy). Its interesting cuz when I’m hit on by guys, I have the power but its the…[Read more]

You girls make me proud of being shy. Shy-Pride!

Ok Aussiestraddlers! So I’ve been inspired by this week’s amazingness — State of the Union, AS Camp — I feel like an idea such as camp AutostraliaNZ needs to be more than a pipedream. We prob should meet up somewhere first yes to see if it’s viable and not like 5 girls on camp (which would be pretty cool but still). Melbourne/Sydney in June…[Read more]

Sounds pretty good to me!
-
Yes!
-
-
We SO should do that! I am a massive massive wimp about meeting new people though, but I would totally suck it up for this!
-
ALSO i’m paranoid about being murdered by someone off the internet so I guess I need to get over that too! That is easily solved with like 2 drinks though.
-
-
YES; I feel like there’s some steam to make this happen! Do you guys know of the autochat group on AS? Might I suggest we make it (for now) a weekly thing for Ozstraddlers to get on autochat and get to know one another better/diffuse paranoia of cray cray ness/talk about the weather/creaming soda/ponies?? Whoever can make it, makes it, spread the…[Read more]
-
And yea, eventually a skype group maybe too, like Kirby suggested!
-
i do like this idea of diffusing paranoia!
-
-
I am also up for this. Please let me know about any plans you have!
I remember a couple of other Aussies signalling their interest in this who we might like to contact :)

Hey there, everyone. Well, it took me ages to make an account here as I’m more prone to reading rather than posting… looks like I found the right group for my inaugural comment, huh? Anyway, recently my lack of queer acquaintances has been bumming me out, so I thought, to the internet! And here I am. Only now I’m not sure exactly what to do. Eh,…[Read more]
