hi-dee-do

Although I can appear to be an outgoing person the truth is that I am quite socially awkward. I tend to be quiet and retiring when I’m in a group of people that I don’t know. I have managed to be more outgoing in one shining initial attempt – when I joined my soccer team. I toned down some of my more ribald jokes and behaviours but I was essentially myself. This was a feat that I have not yet been able to reproduce. I feel threatened in large groups: my conversation skills insufficient, my gestures too wild and wholly overwhelmed.
