Confidence

Confidence is a thing that I have always been severely short of, especially when it comes to girls.
Talking to girls seems to be too hard a thing to do for me, even when they approach me and make the conversation I find it hard to say anything. Never mind when it's me wanting to go over and talk to a beautiful girl, I always just shy out of it.

The other night, when I finally got to see Alkaline Trio there was a gorgeous blonde girl stood next to me. She kept turning round and looking and smiling at me, I kept smiling back.
I just couldn't gather the courage to say anything to her, even at a gig where theres something we clearly have in common. It really sucks, she was gorgeous and she actually kept looking, smiling at me. That never happens. And I couldn't make the most of it.

I don't know how or where people find the courage to talk to people from, but I certainly wish I was as comfortable with speaking to girls as other people are.

I'm Mikey, 17 and from the North-East of England. I go to college and support Middlesbrough. Really into anything that rocks musically. That's about all you need to know really; for now.

Pain

Sometimes it really hurts. Sometimes I ask myself, what's really wrong with me. I can't seem to find happiness. I can find contentment, within myself, just not happiness.

The Tortoise

I'm like a tortoise, slowly I get coaxed out of my shell and for a while I enjoy myself, then something happens and I shoot back in to my shell.

No one can describe love too be one thing like for example a carrot. A carrot is a vegtabel no one can argue but love is different for every person.

My Need For Faith In Something

Everyone needs to maintain faith in at least one thing. It's what keeps us going, knowing there's always that one thing at the end.

New.

There's only one thing that's constant in our life, our distorted view of reality, in every cell our body has and in every molecule we breathe in and that's change.

I Am Like You.

Like you, I am a work in progress. But with all of our similarities, we are different. So different. We come from different places. I don't mean different cities. Or even different homes.

You've just got to remember that you have absolutely nothing to lose by talking to people - we're all in the same boat along for the ride, she was probably thinking exactly the same about talking to you. If you never pluck up the courage then you'll never make connections like that. You have nothing to be worried about :)

@PoppyA perfectly right! She might think he is too cool to talk to. -smile- & 'Hi' :p

@PoppyA That is true, thinking like that not being able to talk to her seems daft, but when it comes to actually trying to do it, it's too nerve racking to think like that. But I'll try to remember that I do have nothing to lose :')
