In fact that was my nickname for a time which just made me blush harder. Two good things came out of it: I hope I'm more sensitive to those who are feeling uncomfortable and I can put them at their ease, since I've been there. 2: I learned to keep the conversation on them if I didn't know what to say. Ask questions about them - then they'll never stop talking :).

Living in the South has definitely helped me learn how to be more social... but I still feel quite awkward and clumsy around "new" people, and I never know what to say. Which often leaves me standing there having a conversation in my head that goes something like this:<br />"Say something!"<br />"What?"<br />"I said... SAY SOMETHING!"<br />"No, I mean, what should I say?"<br />"I don't know, you're the smart one."<br />"Says who?"<br />"Me!"<br />"Well... I'm not, and I don't know what to say, so there. YOU say something."<br />"If the person we're supposed to be talking to could hear our thoughts, they'd think I'm crazy."<br />"You are crazy."<br />"Thanks for the support."<br />"You're welcome... now... SAY SOMETHING!"Jenelle Leannehttp://jenelleschmidt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111892212177038047.post-33376336441296019202014-11-25T19:26:24.456-08:002014-11-25T19:26:24.456-08:00Abbey, this is excellent!
