I could talk all day when there's no one there
I'm behind a screen I don't need to care.
Say what I want and then log out
Comment on what I like I can scream, I can shout.
I pull a funny expression while talking to you
But you'll never know the weird stuff I do.
Behind the screen I become another girl
I wish I could take myself outside for a whirl
But I'm broken I made for the indoors
I'm comfy talking behind closed doors.
I could talk to you and always know what to say
If only I knew how to be social in a different way.
But I'm me. I'm made for indoor use only
I'll get used to the world but it'll happen slowly...

Just some naive teenage girl writing poems with no confidence... O_o Ed sheeran, the hunger games, all time low, the midnight beast and other stuff is basically my life. Ps I'm sorry I'm not good at being sociable. :)

Crawling Into My Shell
When the world seems to get too large, too quick or too scary, I crawl into my shell. Natural introversion takes over. When other's natural opposites push me into places I can't go, My mind retracts.

Garden
At a garden party. Lots of people here. I don't really know them. Paralysed by social fear. They're all really friendly. And I'm drinking their beer. BBQ is roaring. What am I doing here.

@Emily_InspiresAll seems maybe you worry too much about what others think of you but who cares!! โค๐
@gazplend yeah I do... I'm kind of a perfectionist in that way. I want everyone to like me. If I got 30 likes and 5 dislikes, I'd be thinking about the dislikes... :/ z
@Emily_InspiresAll ok a quick tip from a man who's been there,I was a senior manager for tesco for many years and wanted all my staff to like me but trying to make people like you just makes it worse,what did work was being myself,being honest and fair and having time for people,1 nice comment is better than a hundred false nice comments ๐
@gazplend thanks for the tip.! The thing is though I don't know if people are commenting nicely or if they're just using sarcasm or something... :s x
@gazplend I don't know. I don't think that people would actually compliment me. But okay I'll take them as nice ๐
@gazplend ok ok I'll try. I'm me, I'm good that way. I'm unique, I love me. Okay that's a little exaggerated but you know... I'll try and be happy. ๐
@Emily_InspiresAll the great thing about Opuss is not many people know each other, so don't feel the need to show off and 'be cool'. Then you generally see the nicer side of everyone. And you can say whatever you want.
I'm pretty glad no one knows me! (except kikikookara, she's my best friend from school. We're both equally as crazy, so that's fine)
