Okay. Lame post start…. now.
I’ve been thinking, and wondering, and wishing, and dreaming, pondering, contemplating trying to meet new people. Girls, this is, and I wonder about one thing in particular. I’m shy, and yes, a lot of the time, this makes it hard to meet people. I see that. But what I also see is the fact that my shyness is never picked up upon, like people know, but they don’t do anything. Don’t other people want to meet new friends too? If someone you know is sad, naturally, you’d think you’d be a good person and ask them what’s wrong, or generally seem caring. Well, if they’re shy, shouldn’t you help them out, initiate conversation, make them feel comfortable?
I’m only saying this, because more often than not, people say I come across as awkward, and yes, maybe at times I do. But really, does the fact that I’m really shy really mean I’m awkward? The way I look at it, at least when talking to people, is that, well, if someone really wants to talk to you, you’d think they’d try as well to start conversation, make things not feel awkward, at least try. But, I haven’t noticed this happening with anyone I’ve talked to. Being referred to as cutely awkward, and at the same time awkward and not willingly to put up an effort to meet people really gets me thinking, and somewhat annoyed. Why am I always at fault, it never seems like, as much as I am really shy, that the other person is ever at fault. Yeah, I’m not the most interesting, but this doesn’t mean I’m awkward. If people would just give people a chance, look past the shyness, just get to know them, I think we’d all be better off. Anyways, kinda a rant, but it really bugs me.
When a guy talks to a girl, he’s supposed to be able to make her feel comfortable, not be a dick, generally be a good person, a friend, and ensure that she’s having a good time. Okay, maybe not exactly, but there’s a few specifics, and I’m too lazy to go into those.
Why is it that it’s never the girls going to guys and wanting to meet them, I mean, they want to meet new people, don’t they? I just don’t get why everything guys do when talking to the girls that can be done just as easily by the girls isn’t done, where it’s almost solely up to the guy to make a good impression. Why can’t girls do that, show feelings, intiative, just something, anything to show they want to meet someone?
It almost seems like girls can be shy, but guys can’t, and that’s the way society is. I don’t get any of it, and yeah, I could try to get over my shyness, but it shouldn’t stop me, or make me come across any worse than if I was the most outgoing person alive.
