I got sucked into my TV show and forgot I had this tab open. Now I come back to Skittle vs. M&Ms? M&Ms win every time.

You are wrong. Unless they are peanut or peanut butter.

Peanut, always.

Don't you roll your eyes at me.

Taste the rainbow,

I used to have pretty rough social anxiety, especially when it came to presentations or talking to girls I like, now I consider myself pretty comfortable with it. It's a learning experience, and college drilled enough practice to help me able to cope better with realizing I have to speak more. It really is a matter of confidence, mindfulness, and practice.

 

[WalkingEmphasis]

I really do get it. I'm so glad you're talking now and that you weren't turned off by my weirdo overtures.

The weirder, the better. I also consider myself to be somewhat of a nerd, so we do have some things in common, definitely.

@Pleco Totally. However, I think you have nothing to worry about there. Me, on the other hand... I can be funny (sometimes) , but definitely not quickly enough to be considered witty.

I grew up with these. They're superior to M&M's in every way, IMO, so it's difficult for me to say that M&M's are really any better than anything.

Never. I still can't talk in front of groups of people. I used to turn red, but now I think I'd have a panic attack.

That's Canadian garbage!

That's Canadian garbage!

You're right. Mine always came from England.

I don't know why but for some reason this sentence is hilarious.

On a down to earth note, seriously look up some mindfulness/meditation videos and some ASMR videos as well. They've helped me incredibly. I have a diagnosed case of OCD, and it sucked knowing that at first but truth be told, you learn from it and you don't shy away from it. It's not a shame or something to be frowned upon.

Same stuff. I was in Vancouver, BC a ton growing up and they had that nonsense there. But they had Aero bars which weren't sold in the US at the time, so that counterbalanced it.

I got probably overly confident in college when it came to presentations and stuff. I was a teacher til recently so I don't have issues with that.

I'm just weird as fuck and have too many hobbies which range from extremely nerdy to jock bro.

W @WalkingEmphasis , take a look at this and see if it relaxes you a little.

I have a little. I was actually part of a mindfulness study through MTurk, which I genuinely enjoyed. Big fan of meditation in general. I've also looked into ASMR. I've never been officially diagnosed with OCD, but I don't need to be. I absolutely have it. Mild compared to a lot of people, but yeah.

It means you are not boring and don't like settling for one thing. That's an attractive trait. You should own up to it.
