Why do I even come on this site?

Warning this is not a Poem this is just an expression a thought for the day ok?
Now here it goes.

Sometimes I come on this site and wonder why I am here?

Is it to show off my wears or model my tights?

I am not really sure.

I am not gifted in the ways of the pen.

But baby I can sure write a mean research paper and

talk hours without ends on myth and symbols.

I am not all the friendly perhaps because I am so dysfunctionally shy
it’s a wonder how I ever had kids!

And I detest cliques of friends they can keep people out.

I am horrible at small talk.

I guess that is also a talent I missed out on

Talking about nothing and having fun doing it?

Is a mystery to me.

When I get an IM I don’t know what to say so I ignore it because I just  am to shy to say anything.

Or I just answer with one of those smiley things..Oh Dear!
And I won’t join contest because only buddies win.

However

I do enjoy reading others peoples work and hearing what they have to say.

I love to travel over their sites and read their work posted.

And I may not always agree about what they write

But I can honestly say.

Do I really have to?

I guess I come on this site, to read and perhaps even be seen

It’s a connection of thoughts that belong to people

Who like me just want to connect and be.
There is true talent on this site
and
I do not want to waste one page
So now I know why I am here!

    This was/is great. Most people I think are shy under the right circumstances. I know that I am. I really enjoyed the piece and getting to know you.

    Dysfuctionally shy girls are my favorite kind and don't underestimate yourself term paper genius. You are young. Take care of yourself and learn how to get in touch with your sub-conscious who stores all information indifferently and don't let it scare you. You will find it a priceless resource aid, and assistant! If it ever finds out what you are looking for, you will truly be one of a kind. Think of the potential! You made me happy and that makes you a success! Happy Memorial Day!

    You come on board this site because you are a regular city girl who is 169 years old and probably a little bored. I am very glad I somehow caught your attention. It amazes me in a most delightful way. Thank you.

    I was having a look over you're site and found it fascinating! I love the variety of interests that people have! And as far as i'm aware poetry is an expression of you're thoughts albeit stuctured in various forms etc

    Anyways
    Take Care

    shyness can be overcomed my friend.
    case in fact...
    I've always enjoyed singing...but when it came to putting me in front of crowd myself.. i'd run like hell.
    until some friends brought me to kareoke.
    my shyness disappeared and now i love it. same thing with me reading my poetry at poetry readings.
    point is sometimes we have to face our fears. yes we all aren't experts in writing. but here it doesn't matter. sure... there will be the poetry police telling us that our stuff is crap. but they don't matter. it's only an oppinion. and you know what they say about oppinions...LOL
    Keep penning on one stroke at a time!

    Great!!!

    If my guess is right, from the writing above, of course, you belong to the scholarly class. They won't talk of nothing but give them a topic they are fond of and you will never be able to go home in time and the wifey will have good reason to grumble.

    Yeah, many of us are shy, but before the computer when you are not looking at me, I am never shy. But often I also won't know what to say except in cases like this where I enjoy your thoughts and able to relate to some of them at least.

    I started as an avid reader and ended up a writer and research is some thing I am interested too. Have done some but mostly to prove things wrong, rather than to discover new things

    Soem times it is good to think loud so people can hear us and know us better. I am too shy to think loud, but often express my feelings boldly, knowing the readers will never see me or I will never be able to meet them

    Much Love

    I suspect in sharing your thoughts, you've touched many others who for similar reasons wonder why they come here.. sometimes. It should be enough, to be here, read and say.. what's on ones mind, without worrying.. about being accepted for it..

    Don't apologize, and I can't imagine anyone being hard on you. You comment on so many of my poems, especially when I feature them, and I enjoy and admire your commentary so much! I would have never have thought you were shy either ... but your words speak volumes of who you are, and you my dear, are a very smart, articulate, friendly, admiring person, and so much more ... Thank you for reading my works, I promise that I shall read more of yours soon.

    You are very talented

    Wow, I never would have guessed you were shy, and not good at small talk, I am definitely the same way, but not even good at writing research, you're A-OK so keep coming on

    Having come to your page and unlike your other responder I have not had time to read it all, but I have had time to know that I am in awe of the knowledge you possess. It is a shame that your shyness would subject you to being non-communicado because the first thing I thought about when 'perusing' your author page was that since most of my pieces are made up and not actual concrete storylines I could learn so much from you. For an example, "The Legend of Bytter Colony" received a lot of responses commending me on how much research I must have done to write that poem. It was all fiction. If I had half your knowledge of symbols and mythology I might be unstoppable. I hope that the communication lines will be open. I am an individual who has lived at the top of the financial rung and through attrition and my wife's bipolar illness have lost everything. We are rebuilding our lives on a simple theme and their is no reason to be shy around me. I am humbled by your knowledge, talent, and abilities. Finally I received an (im) today from someone who stopped by , "Ol' Lofty Spider" and said, "So this didn't even place in the contest. Quit wasting your time with rigged contests and get published".
