I think the subject of real names came up at Oklacon between us, though I have to admit my memory of that conversation is a bit fuzzy (but that was the vodka's fault, not yours).

Look forward to seeing you soon!

Well you know what Yain? We should hang out sometime...I know how to chill with my friends, I could teach you...damn roommates made me forget what I was going to say...*pokes them with a stick*

yea we said someing about penis

One day Ill get down there and see ya!

that would be awesome

I feel the same way most of the time :P
I suck at social interaction

you talk with meeeeeeeeee ;~;

I do ^^ But you have friends in ya area though that ya can go hang out and such, I dont, unless you half count my coworkers.

you could come here and I could fix that >_>

Poor thing *hugs*
You know you're always welcome to come and see me, and you can always find me online somewhere!
I'm sorry if you feel that way. I felt like that for a long time, even after I got involved in the fandom because it seemed like everyone had their own batch of buddies, even in local areas. But after awhile I realized. Sometimes you have to just push your way into conversations subtley. It's difficult, yes, but it works.

I've felt the same way before, really. The social awkwardness, not knowing what to say or if it's the right time to say anything or what. I got over it though, not sure how...maybe it was just by being in a group of friends that I really felt like someone for a while (in my previous circle of friends, I was sort of the odd one out...they were all really good guys and everything but I fit in way more with my current circle =P)

Also, I'll say that I dreaded this when I was going to my first fucon; I thought that I wouldn't meet anyone and just be a wallflower the whole time. But furcons seem to completely remove my inhibitions! Perhaps why I love them so much X3.

It's a difficult thing to force yourself to do, but I can say from experience, it's so much better if you just let yourself go X3. Trust me, I'm a neurotic kinda guy myself about this kind of stuff still, but I've found that it's just better to every now and again say something stupid and laugh it off them to try to make sure you never make any social mistakes =3
