Do you ever feel like you''re annoying other people by just being you?

Haha, I talk really loudly when I get excited too! My best friend Brandon does the same thing (he''s been my best friend almost as long as K but he doesn''t suck like she does!)--we both get really loud an boisterous when we''re excited, and sometimes people get embarrassed by us, but we don''t care. I was really worried that J would feel that way since he''s soooo quiet but he doesn''t, strangely enough. He just shrugs it off. Maybe you should tell your guy to do the same--really, who cares if you''re a little loud if you''re having a good time?

HA! But see, Im thinking I don''t get that loud where I embarrass people. I think he just doesn''t like loud sounds and I think I already have a high-pitch tone to my voice to begin with. lol. Next time I will tell him to lighten up a little.

Tell him it could always be worse and you could be more like me when you get loud.

I used to be self-conscious about it, but I really don''t care anymore. I''m having fun!

Definitely lots in common with the back to uni experiences!! Ok, Delster and I can share the wine and you can have some Kahlua Gwendolyn!! I think half our year have scored each other at this stage which has led to a lot of awkwardness when they''ve broken up!

Hey, I''ll drink wine--I just prefer the really awful, cheap stuff!

Also, about the hooking up thing--DUDE, there is nowhere NASTIER than my college. Seriously. There was some sort of poll done in the fall, and apparently my college came in first place for the sluttiest. No joke. Out of the thirty-one Cambridge colleges, MINE had to win for being the sluttiest! This article claims (NO idea where these numbers came from, they absolutely terrify me) that the average number of sexual partners here at my college in one year of school is seven. SEVEN.

In ONE YEAR!!

Obviously they didn''t ask me because mine is, uh, one, but what really frightens me is who''s throwing the numbers off in the other direction? Did people say, ''Oh, forty-nine. No, sorry, forty-eight.'' ?!!?!?!!! Nasty nasty dirty icky place!!!

I''m just hoping that we''re the college that lies the most in polls, as opposed to having an average of seven sexual partners in one school year.

Seriously

I''d say that our one would come a close second over here! I''ve already had to go with three girls to take the morning after pill

Oh yeah, forgot to say it earlier-I love your knew avatar Gwen! You''re so pretty!

Coatykins, how are you, babe? Thanks for dropping into my thread, and thanks extra for the sweet comments! I think you are pretty awesome yourself (and not just for your epic jewelry collection which I will covet to my dying breath

). You''re so sweet and friendly! I love reading your posts!

I constantly annoy people by just being me and I love it! Because those that are annoyed I don''t like anyhow, and those I don''t annoy are always fun to be around! Hehehehe.

BTW, gwendolyn you are too cute in your new pic!

Haha, I like that attitude of your, MoonWater! I think I might have to adapt that as my new slogan!

Oh, and thank you so much for the compliment.

Hey gwen just wanted to say I could sympathize about school! I felt really like the oddball in my first undergrad school (I transferred to the school I am at now). Once I met FI it made things better, but before that I don''t think very many people liked me.

I think they thought I was some kind of cold witch or something.

I just didn''t feel like I fit in, so I kept to myself after trying to find friends and failing to do so.

Everybody experiences this feeling of being 'merely tolerated' sometimes. And you know what, we do the same to other folks. It's just human nature; we each have been both -- perpetrator and recipient -- at some point in our lives.

If you are an essentially good caring human with an empathy for others, a desire to love and be loved, and are usually kind -- don't worry. No one is perfect 100% of the time; no one is liked by everyone. Each of us has a family and/or an extended family of friends who do love us dearly; and that's enough to let someone else's unkindness roll off our backs. if you've been unkind, forgive yourself; everyone has a bad day or just simply a bad moment.

What other people think of you is never more important than what you know about yourself. If you like you, (and if you're not seriously delusional!

) you just need to shrug off their 'attitude' and forget it.

We like you. Does that help?

Gwen I meant to add to your post yesterday but I got busy at work.

Firstly, how anyone could think you're annoying is beyond me! You seem to be the best type of person (someone I'd love to call a friend), because from what I can tell, you are very considerate of others feelings.

I agree with Holly in that we all feel that some people just annoy us. I don't think this is what you mean, but I am sure there are some you'd rather dodge than stop to talk to in the street. Don't you hate when that happens!? Anyway, because you are so sweet and considerate, people might see someone who is bubbly--I know a lot of people who dislike those personalities, probably b/c they are depressive types, or just "too cool" to seem happy. So many people are dealing with their own insecurities that they are quick to judge, but the truth is, this isn't high school anymore. I am sure most of the people you think find you annoying, really don't. They simply might not share your humor at a given moment. Your smile is gorgeous and I am sure your personality is even more so, AND I am even more certain that the people around you find you kind, smart and endearing. We have hang ups, that's all. Whether it comes from always wanting to fit in as girls or wanting to be the perfect woman, we have issues about wanting people to like us--its human nature.

Keep being beautiful and be yourself always. People who truly don't like it, who the hell cares anyway? How much are they going to mean to your life in the end?

Hey, Sarah, I''m sorry to hear that you went through all that! It''s so weird how people can get these perceptions of us, sometimes based on absolutely nothing! Sometimes, when you''re the new one (like after your transferred, because I did that in my undergrad too), it''s like no one will really make time for you because they''ve already got their circle of friends, but if one person goes out of their way to get to know you, then everyone else is like, "Oh, so she''s ok? Awesome, let''s all be friends with her!"

People are weird.

Awww, Bia, that really means a lot to me, that you said I''m the sort of person you''d love to call a friend! I do always try to be considerate of the feelings of others (I don''t always succeed but I do try). I think maybe that''s why I sometimes feel really hurt, when I feel like people have been careless with my feelings. But you''re right, I do need to not care about it if they really are bothered by me, because I don''t have time for any of that. I''m a busy chica.
