not to toot my own horn, but yeah a couple times. Especially when I was younger and really insecure about talking to women. Sometimes your brain just locks in and everything flows
Yeah but then later I come up with some minute detail to get upset about and change my mind
This will probably be my final thought before I die
Every time 😎
I was at a party over the weekend and afterwards someone told me I was the most fun person there. I was very surprised because I felt really uncomfortable dancing and laughing and just "letting loose".
I've always been a shy person, and that sort of thing doesn't come naturally to me. I think I've just become better at pretending to be someone I'm not. If I was to be myself, I'd have sat in the corner and barely said anything, which is generally not conducive to building relationships with peers.
So I felt like it wasn't my best work after I left, until that person made me remember that how I perceive myself is different to how other people perceive me. It was a positive experience.
Pretty much always, yeah. Although I guess the bar is so low that maybe it was my best work.
You can almost see the "Your friends will remember this" pop up in the top right. And you don't know if that is a good thing or not
Better than being easily forgotten.
Every. Single. Day.
Sometimes multiple times.
Daily then I spend hours panicking and telling myself how worthless I am.
I’m not sure I’ve ever not done that, and I’m hugely social.
when I fuck up royally, yes. But most instances I just go meh, the usual
Not quite my case. I'm more of "Mmm, that was the best work I could do, and somehow it's still not good enough?!"
