This is an interesting thread. I pretty much thought I was the only one intimidated in chat rooms. The odd thing is, I used to be a chatter bug. Wasn't afraid of chat rooms, in fact I loved them. Nothing bad has ever happened to me in chat so that isn't a reason I shy from visiting the chat rooms.

The first time here, I was pushing buttons and landed in Doc John's chat room. I almost peed my pants.. I could not find the exit button. Something was wrong with my keyboard because I could not even write in text to ask how to get out of the room. I was shaking so bad. lol... Had to pull the plug of the computer to get out of the room....... I have visited a few other times and just sat there because I could not think of anything to ask or even know why I even went in the room. lol

Guess I am not alone here with this anxious feeling when in chat rooms. I was a regular visitor at another "voice chat" place and had soooooooo much fun there. Now I just go in the rooms and can barely say hi to anyone... I don't even want to be noticed.. So unlike me... shrugs shoulders.... Have no idea why I've become this way....
