Wow, you seem really outgoing! I’m shy, shy, shy... yeah I guess that pretty much explains it. But it’s not like I’m a social hermit or something... I go to parties, I go out with my friends and have fun, all the time. I’m just not very good at initiating conversations with people. Also the only times I ever talk to guys is online.
If it counts... I had a boyfriend when I was 4. We made out in church.
I kissed one guy in the 7th grade playing spin the bottle – that was my first, and last, kiss.
Wowwwwwwww.....![]()
Hi, Kim: I don't think you are weird.

The one question I always ask myself is "What is the worst that can happen?". When I really think about it the worst that could happen usually isn't that bad....or at least not fatal.


I wasn't always so outgoing. I've always been very social but I wasn't always confident enough to show it. I went to a small, private hearing school when I was a kid, and I had a great interpreter who was a teacher's aid and had a deaf dad. I used her too much because I was afraid to be myself with all the hearing kids. She finally met with me and my parents and said it had to stop. She encouraged me all the time to interact with my classmates. She asked me all the time, "What are you afraid of? You have to try because your happiness is your responsibility". It made a big impact. It is my responsibility.
So I changed. I sometimes feel like a fool, and I have had some conversations go very very wrong.

You can do it, Kim!
