Getting-to-know-you confessions

I am also painfully shy and have low self confidence. I have gotten a lot better than when I was a child though. I have been with my husband for nine years and the poor thing has yet to see me walk around naked. Too much information or what? What else.......... I am an animal lover and prefer these relationships to most human ones and I love scary movies, the scarier the better.

I'm a clapper but not a whooper, unless it's my biceps working.

I'm quiet until people get to know me, but not shy. I tend to be opinionated and have probably PO'ed most people on this forum in less than 100 posts. To those I have offended, I apologize.

I've also gotten some incredibly helpful information from you ladies, and for that I'm grateful.
 
I'm not a whooper or a clapper. I do however have some of Cathe's "scripting" memorized so I'm saying it as she's saying it. The same way people memorize every word of movies, I've memorized some of my Cathe workouts.

-I am not shy. I just find dealing with most people very tedious. I am not a people person.

-I am a homebody. Home is where I am the most comfortable. Unless I am with family and/or friends, I am socially awkward. I don't know what to say to people I don't know and idle chit chat annoys me.

-Despite all this, if you ask my opinion, I will tell you what I honestly think. Sometimes, I'll tell you even when you don't ask :). I don't believe in telling anyone what they want to hear. It's dishonest.

-I grunt or growl when exercises get too challenging and Cathe gets quite a bit of eye rolling and glares from me in response to her questions.

Me too! This is quite a source of amusement for my husband. I also can't draw a straight line, even with a ruler! :D

Ok My 3rd confession.... I cant tell left from right unless mentall I do a quick... "I pledge allegance.." lol
I can still only spell together if mentally I'm thinking
To - Get- Her....... Guess I was REALLY paying attention in grade school huh? DH thinks those are 2 of the craziest things he's ever heard of. :)
 
I'm definately a whooper and clapper. I count out loud....during kickbox, I even grunt and do the "hi-ya" when kicking and punching. My DH hears me, and yells "Who are you fighting?"
It's so fun!

I can't drive a manual stick shift car, and I can't play my DD video games, probably because my brain lacks coordination !!!!
 
Traci, I also have to look at my hands to tell my right from my left. My left has a big birthmark in the middle. I've done that my whole life. My DH also thinks it's bizarre, and so does everyone else. :p

Hehe... I make pen motions with my hands, because I'm right-handed and I know that means that's the right side. LOL
 
I used to be painfully shy as a child as well with social anxiety and also pushed myself in late high school and college to get out of it. I work meet new people everyday in my job and only sometimes feel anxious if I'm in a situation where I know no one.

I can be obsessive and over analytical and continue to work on these probably due to my anxiety disorders

Me too! I do the "wedding ring" check. Wedding ring=left, if no wedding ring must be right.:7
 
This reminds me of an Oprah last week where the statement was: "If you really knew me, you would know..."

1. I'm not shy but have a very heard time making myself "heard." I have a very hard time expressing myself to others and very often don't contribute to conversations because I'm afraid that my comments will sound dumb.

2. I struggle constantly with the fact that I didn't go to college after high school, and now at 37 I don't feel that it's something I can do without huge sacrifices upon my family. I often feel that I'm a loser for not doing more with my life. Even though I have a job that I'm happy with, I know that it's not using my full potential.

3. I become obsessed with things, problems, etc. My brother's wife hasn't spoken to myself, my father or sister for years and I still find myself wondering why.
 
I whoop and clap, answer Cathe's question and even speak badly to Cathe sometimes:) . My DB thinks I'm crazy sometimes, but it makes it fun to me and motivates me!
 
1) I was painfully shy as a child also. I am not nearly as bad now but still find myself very uncomfortable around people that I don't know well.
2) I am a homebody.
3) I tend to relate better to animals than I do to people.

My MIL thought I could not be the right ONE for DH. I was too quiet...bwahahahahaha...I hoop, I clam up, I laugh, I cry...happy, sad, I cry...drives the guys in my household insane...I also "talk" a bit...was a cheerleader, still am...can yell quiet nicely...can whisper and drive 'em crazy...I love diversity...
 
1. I love to challenge people's expectations of me.

2. I'm the black sheep in my family because I prefer honesty in lieu of denial. Always gets me in trouble :eek:

3. I love Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and Ann Rule books.

4. I wish I could grasp Physics as well as the Engineers I am surrounded by at work.
