It's also 10 times worse out here in Mayberry because it is so much like high school. <BR/>I think with men we can work other parts of ourselves like personlality or looks to be comfortable....but we are very aware that women judge and can sometimes be catty and standoffish. <BR/>Hold your head high and be brave!tallulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844399832417509801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10065760.post-83713915677161715722008-03-21T11:15:00.000-04:002008-03-21T11:15:00.000-04:00see? those other ladies feel the same way. as for ...see? those other ladies feel the same way. <BR/><BR/>as for the rest of us, who could have small talk with a rock, we envy those who know when to keep their mouths shut. <BR/><BR/>believe YOU me.

LOL I swear get me around a group with one woman in it and I turn into a total wackjob. Men don't bother me but women... yeah, not so pretty. I was just thinking about this the other day, why is it when I talk to my bestfriend (who has been so since we were knee high to grasshoppers) I am witty, confident, quickwitted and just me but when I get around someone I don't know I feel like I am the new kid in 7th grade and I somehow forgot to put on clothes when I showed up to math class!?! <BR/><BR/>There is something to be said for a few close friends who know you so well you can be a total idiot and they still love you... not only that they GET your stupid joke when you tell them about the blunder later!!!The Girl Next Doorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155771538051664481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10065760.post-68779049894303050282008-03-20T17:48:00.000-04:002008-03-20T17:48:00.000-04:00Yes!

I'm not sure if it's a leftover neurosis from junior high or what, but it is hard to walk into a crowd of women (or even just two or three) I don't know and strike up a conversation. Definitely easier with men, or even with just one mom standing next to me at the playground while our children are playing.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319876018208176809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10065760.post-86168351379932971752008-03-19T23:20:00.000-04:002008-03-19T23:20:00.000-04:00Oh my gosh!!! I TOTALLY relate!! I am so that way ...Oh my gosh!!! I TOTALLY relate!! I am so that way too. I have just never been able to express it quite as well as you have. You just put exactly how I feel when I'm around a group of ladies into words. People say I suddenly clam up, act snobbish, put up a wall. I HATE small talk. I like one friend at a time. I'm fiercely loyal. You are not alone, my friend! I get you. I don't like to share either. :)corihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269641533974005502noreply@blogger.com
