I may have written in a sense that only I am getting like most of the time lol. My confidence is not the issue, when interacting I never come of in a way that people feel as if I am intimidated by them. If anything I am always told how I intimidate others. People have also told me that they are usually able to read others yet never can read me. My interactions are usually that I just don't care about even trying to accommodate others interests. I think this is one of the reasons I am embarrassing to others with things I may so or do. My discomfort comes as I think the way I see people, for instance my wife and I went away to Boston and got lost. We stopped and asked a guy for directions and he actually got in his car and told us to follow him to where we needed to go. This screwed me up for a while as I wasn't equipped to handle this kind of interaction. I suppose being from NY I am use to all the A#$holes and may of become more of one because of this. While social I used to be the life of the party in my younger years, outspoken and the one who always made the night memorable for all. My confidence is usually still shown as seeing people and always thinking they catch my eye and are usually intrigued in some way. My discomfort is being around say other parents at a school event, they make me sick with their little talk and stories of who did what and so on. Other places as well that would have similar scenarios. I guess it may be harder to explain than I thought as my mind is always racing. Trust me as my main mask has always been to be the best!!! Just so tired of all the BS surrounded by the area!!!
