Of All The Traits about me....

...This has got to be the shittiest. I'm not sure if there's a word for it, but let me explain.

I'm inherently a very shy person to new people that I don't know. I have little desire to get to know people that I don't already know. Yes, I'm an Introvert. That's not nearly as bad though. If I know a person, I'm much more likely to hold a conversation with them, regardless of gender.

Now here's the odd part.

I tend to completely silence myself when any relationship opportunity pops up. Like, if there's a girl that I like that's in the vicinity, I will just grow silent, even if I was talking obnoxiously or shouting loudly the moment before. I don't know why, but if its just any girl that I have no interest in I will act normally. Otherwise, I just become mute. I also tend not to make eye contact with them either, like if we were in a group, I'd always look away. Any third person who was watching would think that I'm just ignoring her, which sucks for me. No matter how hard I try to change, I always revert back to this. And I really can't explain why.

Well, that's me. Does anybody else share this problem with me, or am I just odd? If there was just one thing that I hate about myself, this is it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just turned 19 actually, I just got out of High school and am in my first year of College. I've been trying to break this habit for like 3 years now and haven't been successful.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Haha, That's a nice idea, but definitely not a good idea around here. Around here, that'd probably have the opposite effect. ^.^

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

(This is only an offer for him, everyone, cause I know some of you would sit there and lie about it, saying you tried it and it didn't work and you want your money, when all you did was play Final Fantasy all day.)

I don't even want you to send me $20 if it DOES work and you get some positive responses. It's worth it enough to me just to know the truth. Plus it'd be cool to think "hey, this guy's more confident with approaching women, cause he tried a suggestion I gave him. That's awesome." I really think that if you can get some positive responses within 10 women, that you could probably even get some phone numbers within 20 or 30, and you'd definitely have more confidence by then too.

What do you say? Willing to try? You don't have anything to lose, the only negative you could suffer would be just ten women out of millions thinking "okay, I hope I never run into him again." But I seriously doubt even THAT would happen.

I was actually thinking of where I'm from....but, since I'm at college right now....I'm actually curious now too, since it's a bit easier now because the Semester just started....I'll take you on that. Between now and the next week, I will attempt to meet/introduce myself to 10 people I've never seen before. For now, gender is no object.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
