Well, as the subject states, I'm new here. I'm 20, I'm in college, and while I wouldn't say I'm exceptionally shy, I do have a degree of social anxiety that inhibits me from taking part in a lot of activities. So there you have it. I like to think I'm sort of funny, but at the same time I can edge toward bitterness on certain subjects. So yeah...introductions are not my strength. Looking forward to meeting all of you. Here's my lame survey answers:
Are you living with your parents/grandparents?
No-they send me money.
... unemployed?
College Student. I'm poor.
What is your present age?
20
What is your gender?
Male
Are you living in a town, or an unincorporated rural area?
Mid-size city
What is the nature of your shyness? ... is it preventing you from achieving
your goals in life?
More or less-I have extreme paranoia and anxiety about certain relationships, and I have a tendancy to have panics attacks from time to time, compounded by my natural bent towards procrastination.
Have you made any significant progress in overcoming the condition?
Yeah, I mean...I have a few friends, I'm not living at home.
What is the nature of your relationship with your parents?
Pretty good. They have their own issues to worry about.
Did you have a strict upbringing? ... are your parents over-protective?
Not really, but I did my best to not do anything anyway. I was actually a happy kid at one time.
Any siblings?
1 younger sister
How many friends do you have? ... any of them that you would consider "close?"
4 real "friends"...several aquaintances...maybe 3 I would consider close.
What are you interested in?
Comics, cartoons, old movies, and other nerd crap...going bowling (not on a team or anything) billiards, I dunno...I used to kayak but I can't now that I'm in college. I'm such a slacker.
How often do you have fun with your friends?
I don't know...we just sort of hang out and watch TV.
Have you ever been in an intimate relationship?
Of course not. If you knew me that'd be obvious.
[Were you]/[are you] a target for bullies in school? ... held up for ridicule?
Surprisingly no.
Are you over-weight? ... under-weight? ... physically disfigured?
... handicapped? ... speech impediment?
I used to be a bit overweight, though not anymore. I have bad posture from a spine deformity. I have a prematurely thin hairline...I'm basically a breadbasket of unnatractiveness.
Do you have a physical illness/condition that is limiting your life?
Nope.
Are you living with your parents/grandparents?
