    Same here. I usually put myself out there too much (and it often bites me in the a--) Sometimes I have no filter either. I just say what I think or what I feel (sometimes I regret being THAT open) Sigh...

    I still am, actually. I force myself to be extroverted because that's who I want to be. [/quote]

    If this makes any sense, I am a shy extrovert. I am shy until I get to know someone, but then, I am the least shy person ever...and sometimes have no filter at all. By definition, though, I am definitely an extrovert, in that I like to be with people. Most people really enjoy their "alone" time, but I don't care if I am ever alone again. Sometimes when I am home alone with my 2yo, I want to wake her from her nap so we can play![/quote]

    I don't know what to call myself. I'm sooooo awkward around strangers, new acquaintences, etc. I wouldn't even say shy, just extremely awkward. I don't know how to use my body correctly. Words don't come out correctly or make sense at all. It's awful. So then I stay fairly quiet and people take that as me being rude, standoffish, or just a general b!tch.

    Once I get to know you, I am so friendly, flamboyant, and crazy.

    Those two combined, I'm surprised I have any friends at all.

    This is me. Strangers/acquaintances think I'm quiet, my close friends and family can tell you I never shut up!

    I have people tell me they're intimidated by me, and I can look b*tchy but really I'm just incredibly self-conscious. I also tend to operate under the assumption that most people don't like me.

    I am an office manager for a Concrete/Construction company. When I started here, I was covering a maternity leave position (we get a full year in Canada). When she came back from leave, she convinced my boss to keep me on part-time because it was too much work for one person. In the end, she couldn't keep up and quit, and I became the office manager.

    I confess that I think she must have been mentally challenged, as I am done my work in 2 hours and spend the next six hours on MFP and other websites. I am really sad that it is going to get busy in the next month or so and I am going to have less time to waste on here.

    My entire family thinks I'm a slow moving disappointment. It took me until age 23 to commit to college; I'm now applying for transfer to complete my bachelor's (est. graduation: June 2018) and will pursue my master's afterwards, though they are unaware. That makes me a bachelor's grad at 28 and a master's grad at 30.

    That's Okay! The important thin is that you're doing it. I didn't get my Bachelor's degree until I was almost 30 (just last year actually). Between a full time job and family I'm shocked I acutally finished. Just don't quit!

    Confession #1 It really wasn't a typo. My 2 1/2 year old is a sponge these days. Last week, my daughter, my dog and I were going outside to play and the dog was hopping around like crazy because, well, she's crazy. So I threw her frisbee in the yard to get her out of the way & she jumped right up the 5 foot rock retaining wall. I said "holy crap". Guess what the next 2 words out of my daughters mouth were. I'm really watching my language now

    When my daughter was about that age, we were looking out the window and our dog ran by. She said, "Where the hell does he think he's going?!" To which her dad replied, "Wonder where the hell she got that from." You definitely have to be careful, everything will be repeated, many times, at the most inopportune moments.

    It's funny how moments like that stand out in my memory. She's 21 now!

    Yep. Told my son we could not stop for ice cream on the way to day care (7:45am) the other day and he stared forlornly out the window. Under his breath, barely audible, I heard, "Dammit."

    Dammit was one of my oldest daughter's first words. She was one. She would get something off the coffee table, throw it down, and say dammit. I wish I could have blamed that one on her dad...

    I'm not shy at all. I'm the guy who glances at name tags and will remember a waiter/waitresses name forever, or start up conversations with the clerk at the grocery store who's ringing up my groceries.

    I was at an Indian Restaurant, (if you've never had Seekh kebab biryani, you're missing one of the most flavorful food experiences known to man), and the waitress brings my check, as she goes to put it on the table I wave her away and say "No thank you, I didn't order that." she starts to put it back into her pocket, I tell her I was kidding and she starts laughing so hard, like no one ever did that to her before and she was seriously not going to give me a bill. she went into the kitchen and told everyone so all the guys in the back came out to meet the funny guy.

    I almost had a free dinner, almost.

    Here goes ...

    I've been fooling myself for years, there is no possible way to free pour 2 tablespoons of salad dressing, so I've probably been downing 1/3 cup per sitting

    I am similar, only when I get to know people, I am still awkward and quiet. I tend to just keep my mouth shut to avoid embarrassing myself.

    Completely understand this - it's me in a nutshell. New people think I'm rude cause they see me talking to people I know and think I'm just bitchy because I'm not speaking to them. It's not being rude, it's that around people I know I open my mouth and sound like an idiot. Takes a lot to get me talking, then I don't shut up lol.

    I'm the girl who never says bye when I leave. Don't want the attention, so just sneak out.

    I've lost anywhere from five to eight pounds in the last week (new scale) but it's still not good enough for me. I know I basically couldn't have possibly lost any more in that amount of time, but I'm still beating myself up over it for literally no reason.
    Also, my husband likes me overweight and tells me that every day, and I'm afraid he's going to leave me once I hit my goal weight. I know it's just his deep rooted self esteem issues rearing their ugly head, but it still hurts.

    Lol! Confession: I never feel guilty saying no. And if people start getting pushy I get mean. It's shocking to people that don't know me (keep in mind I'm talking about complete strangers that ask me to do things for them).

    Yes, all of this. :/ It sucks. I've had people think I'm stuck up, when really I'm just quiet around new people. Sigh. Makes it difficult to make friends, and my hubby is so outgoing so he doesn't get it.

    Confession1: My sister asked me to send her this link but I don't know how from my phone app so I'm catching up reading it instead.
    Confession 2: I found a peanut butter m&m in my coat pocket. It had to be at least a month old. I ATE IT. and I'm not ashamed because I can't get them here and it was left over from a 48oz bag my grandma spent 40 US dollars to mail to me.

    YUP! If I had a nickel for every time someone has told me that they thought I was "so stuck up" when they first met me, I would have a lot of nickels. Not stuck up, just really really shy with resting b*itch face.

    I have what my mom calls an "go eat S*%! and die!!!" look that I never seem to know I am giving, it has gotten me in trouble so many times with my bosses.

    Confession: I stood in the shower this morning trying to think of a confession I could share or witty comment to post..... NADA came up with NADA :# ! I suck at social media
    interaction (all social media-can't even figure out my freaking not so smart phone) Judge away, I hang my head in shame. :'(

    You're better than me! Strangers are definitely easier to say no to since I'll (fingers crossed) never have to see them again! I don't mind confrontation but sometimes I'm just too lazy to deal with it..
