I don't. I was asking out of curiosity.

Aww, that's kinda sweet and amusing about your name-on-a-cake mini-anxiety attacks that you used to have! I'm glad you fought through that, ELIZABETH.

I would like seeing my name on a cake. I don't mind being a center of attention and sometimes quite like it. When I'm in a social group, I like to talk to express my view; I don't hold back. I also like trying to play off people's conversation topics in attempts to amuse them and take the topic in directions that they seem to like.

When I'm in a group of people in a meeting or in a social situation, I generally am the first person to talk, such as by making introductions to ensure everyone knows everyone and to start the conversation rolling. I get a little impatient when people seem reticent to talk and so I jump in quickly. The main way I've been described by people who know me is: "She takes the initiative."

I'm rarely LOUD, though. I think of myself rather as "vivacious."

However, I am generally quite nervous about public speaking when it concerns a contentious topic, but the importance of a cause motivates me to do it, making me brave. I don't like conflict because it upsets me emotionally, and so I try to figure out ways to resolve disagreements without emotional upheaval.

We're different here, because I routinely initiate conversations with people I don't know. I strike up conversations with people in the grocery store, people on the street, people in busses, people sitting at tables. I'm not at all shy with strangers. I like them!

I've been trying to force myself to do this too. I've met a lot of interesting people I never would have thought very much of just by sayin hey. It's pretty crazy what you can find out if you just give people a chance sometimes.

I'm awkward. I'd even frustrate the most socially adept with my presence.

^ Bro the amount of us on this board with social ineptitude, anxiety issues, and loner archetype personalities is almost hysterical. You aren't the only one. This is the internet the freedom to be alone and still communicate with those just as awkward as you, if not more so. Just don't claim you are eccentric unless you are filthy fucking rich. Because if you are poor and claim that we know it's a lie. If your poor you are just bat **** crazy.

I resent that remark. And that grammar.
