Here, you can't see me looking at you funny. :D That's a joke. :) Tell your negative voice I'll come and kick her ass if she doesn't cut that shit out. Winter - Believe me I know what you mean. There were all these expectations on me to be great, and now that I'm not, it's a big source of guilt and anxiety. I fear I may always have tremendous "potential."

You know, you hit on one thing that I DON'T tell people, and really is the source of a lot of my anxiety. It also explains why the money issue is such a huge embarrassment to me... I'm one of those gifted people too. Totally off whatever freaking chart they use to measure your smarts. They tried to send me to UCSC at 13. I wouldn't go because all I wanted was to be normal. Going to college at 13 wasn't normal! So now, if I tell people I have a great brain, they look at me in shock. Who has a genuis IQ and makes 40K a year and has been homeless? Only the guy who belongs in the funny farm in a straight jacket, that's who. I guess I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't use my talents to better myself in life, ergo I expect others to feel the same way about me. You prolly guessed about my brain huh? The way I can't let go of the stupid Wordpress problems? LOL Grrrr. I hate it when something isn't logical. I dunno... I think I can manage to meet everyone if only I have the wherewithal to get myself to whatever event it is. You've probably released me from my last real barrier by saying the G word.

I was at TC and I felt like everyone there liked me and excepted me "into their crowd", so to speak. But as soon as I wasn't with them anymore, the negative voice inside myself started up trying to convince me of the fact that I really wasn't good enough for them. I despise my negative voice. I think I will hang around here a bit. This is my first time here, I think. It is funny that we find each other on the Internet and we can all relate so well, but if I met any of you on the street, I am sure I wouldn't walk and say, "I have a negative voice and it's telling me that I don't fit in and I am really insecure and that you won't like me, but still, will you be my friend?"

I just don't figure you as a toga and beer sort of person. Beer yes but a toga? I don't picture it. Your icon sort of reminds me of Elmer Fudd :p Now I have nightmares of Elmer Fudd in a toga chasing a rabbit with a shotgun. Interesting post Jester.

One of the things I've come to experience with this group of friends is that we share more--we are more honest about our feelings and expectations and fears in life. I was heavy a major geek and social outcast. Then I grew and lost weight and went from being totally overlooked to getting attention for the wrong reasons. I too was in drama club and band and that helped because I learned to socialize but i still carried the anxiety of people not liking me for the longest time. And I was shy about meeting new people but no one knew because I was fricking Sally Field about it. I guess fake it til you make it works. I also think age helps. turnbabys last blog post..<a href="http://andastheworldturns.blogspot.com/2008/05/irl-wtf.html" rel="nofollow">IRL?

She said "Be glad you weren't because that means you would have peaked in high school. Some of those people, those are the best they are going to be for the rest of their lives, it's all down hill from here. No one really wants to peak in high school, that would pretty much suck" so eloquent as always! love ya mom!

Absurdist - I gave serious consideration about the people who would be attending who would likely be angry or otherwise hostile towards me. I know there are a couple of people who fall into that category based on emails and comments around here.

But the person who was all hacked off about it didn't seem to make any effort to interact with anyone before TQC, and from what I understand not during, either. Miss Britt - I think in order to get to the point that you really DON'T care, you have to do a good job of pretending first. Mr. Fabulous - Go with what works. And carry a shovel. Ginamonster - I can't believe you think of me as a "cool kid." The fun will be where ever you are. And if not, we'll just add Pudding. Crail - I can't imagine any group turning you away! Penelope - That was quite a trip for a blog gathering! Hope you can make TQC next year! Kentucky Girl - Yeah, I don't picture you as being very shy. :D Othurme - I can't pretend to know the inner demons you deal with (other than suspecting they are similar to some I have had in my life), but I do know that you are wickedly funny, caring, honest, and welcome in any group of which I am a part. I really wish I knew some straight girls in the area to hook you up with! Hilly - It's amazing to me how many social disorders and tormented nights people spend because they don't look like the models on fashion magazine covers. I'm guilty of it myself, which makes me feel even more ridiculous for letting that shit bother me. Thankfully, there are bloggers to talk to! Shiny – I’m not even 100% sure that it’s *my* group.
