I'm going back to college soon, and I have to admit, I'm really nervous. New class/ new people ya know? Not healthy for my fear of people and crowds ;-; Especially Japanese class, I kinda wonder what kind of crowd I will attract there. (Well possibly. Hopefully there's another person that speaks Japanese in my class to help split the crowd.) But basically, I speak Japanese, I'm african and Japanese, I've been there ten times, and I love anime and games. Most people will probably be curious and come talk to me. See... that 'most' people I'm thinking about is what scares me. A couple people isn't so bad, but when it's over that I hit my limit ;-; I wish I can wring out the more wild side of me and just be more upbeat and talkative rather than fearing each and every social gathering. Unfortunately I'm the type that if I'm brought to a club I just go towards the darkest corner of the room ;-;. I just hope I can take the crowd well... I mean it's not like when 10 people walk up to me I can raise my hands up and say WAIT WAIT WAIT! Guys please step back, I don't take lots of people in my personal space well. That just makes me sound weird as most social people don't quite understand why it bothers us when there are crowds. And the next sad thing is, if we introduce our selves, I have a stage persona. ;-; It makes no sense. If I'm put in the spot light I can talk more or less. But if it's a crowd of people 'conversing' or ' socializing' I can't do it. So it's like hey you seemed so sociable what happened there?! Weird.
(The worst part is, I can't vent about it in IRL. Not a single friend knows about my fear of crowds and people, and most people I don't trust enough to admit it to... Well I lied, one person does know. Kinda.) But they're not the type I vent to.
