I may come across as confident at times but I've got more front than Blackpool :giggle:
I have never been a confident person, and i envy those that are
for a number of years now, i have been a bit of a social hermit, sitting at home, in front of a pc, i have been using chatrroms for a few years, which i find easy, i can sit at the keyboard, and be a total smartarse, and for the most part, get away with it
when i am face to face with someone, i would very much stare at my shoes, and stammer out any greetings
when i am comfortable in a persons company, i can be sometimes loud and overbearing, as if i am being cocky and arrogant, which i think is overcompensating for the lack of confidence
Mines a bit low at the moment. I said before i'm confident at some things and not others but that can eb and flow to. I'm now worried about a post here that makes me think i've upset someone and i'm waiting a reply. Though i could be reading the text wrong i still cant get it to read in a good way as i'm a glas half empty sort of bloke and it's now realy bugging me. :cry:
This has happened a few times now. So my confidence in using the forum is low and i don't want it to be. :cry:
Confidence... Nan can't say I have a lot of that. In fact, socially I'm almost a hermit! Although I guess socially I've always been like that (hmm - that can't be completely true as I did manage to meet Mrs 36; so ok I've socially been a hermit apart from a brief period when I met my wife).
Anyway, I'm trying hard to change things and Friday I'm going to go with work mates to London for the night! :shock: Baptism of fire - or what! F*ck, I'm scared!
I'm thinking after repeating this a number of times then I should hopefully gain some social confidence.
Fingers crossed that it all goes well,

nope, not me.... nice enough when you know me I guess
have been known to be rather jolly...on occassion, Blue Moon and all that!

I'm confident in my work, confident in my close family environment and with close friends.
I am terrified of everyone else lol... I often come across as rude when I am just not sure of what to say. That's why I love the net - I can just say how I feel and think & not worry about it.
I'm not confident about meeting people and they have to make me feel at ease, as long as they laugh and give me a hug & tell me to snap out of it then I am fine. Humour is essential, I survive on it.
I can get up and talk in front off 500 people no problem.
I will get up and sing at karaoke.
I know my job inside out.
Ask a girl out that I like, never, I shit myself!.
Wierd eh.
cofidence iam fine at work with peeps i know and family but try chat to peeps over a pc and it go out the door so let my hubby do that as it just make me feel less cofidence and think you need to keep wot you got to go to meet lol
It's odd reading how some of the most confident sounding posters on here are actually fraidy cats. It's funny how we all have our odd little quirks, wether thin, tall, old, young or drop dead gorgeous etc...
Having been on the site now just over a month, i've come to realise that we are all our own worst critics. Realising that most people seem to be fraidy like me, actually makes me more confident so thanks to the starter of this thread!

Hmmmmm. Confidence.
With my job I am very confident. Hell so confident that I signed a bunch of HMRC paperwork "Abi "... can't imagine why they didn't accept it!!
As for personal confidence. I am finally, after many years of doing what I thought others wanted, confident in myself. I think it really comes from liking who I am. I know that may sound cocky but I do feel that when you like who you are you stand a little taller, smile a little brighter and laugh a little longer. Does that make sense?
Well one evening in a chatroom i came out with a sexual comment and the person i was chatting to (we were both watching on cam) burst out with laughter
Then she said i would not have said anything like that when i first joined this site and she was right
I do feel a little less timid than i was but i still feel like im sat in the corner sometimes.
I am also feeling a little more confident to make the first move and the one time i have done it it went well. Then i got cocky and almost ruined any chance of another meet.
So i will se how it goes.
