Social Butterfly

Did you know that I get really REALLY nervous when I go out?  If I drive myself I get all quakey  and shivery inside.  I worry that the night is not going to go well or that I am going to make myself look stupid and be ashamed in the morning.  Once I get to a place I am able to step in to character and go with the flow.  I am able to leave my worry at the door, or at least bury it under the persona I put on.  I did one hell of an amazing job of putting on the Shannon when I went out the other night!  I had a blast, got to kiss a beautiful girl, got to flirt with the help and actually push the straight men who tried to touch me.

I am so nervous when it comes to flirting with women.  It matters to me if they say yes or no.  That is why men are so easy.  I find one that looks like fun and think “Hrm, that would be fun and easy” and go hit on them.  And right now I am so nervous about this school thing that I am looking for a … distraction.

I carry around a lot of self doubt and question myself at every turn.  I am never sure that I can actually DO anything until it is done.  I am also never sure I am worth it to the people I am dating.  I am sure that has lead to a lot of selling myself short in the past, but now I have seen what life and relationships can feel like if I DON’T sell myself short.  From here on out I act as if I AM worth it! (OK OK OK, so I have always been good at ACTING like I am worth it, I will start feeling like I am worth it!)
