      not to toot my own horn, but yeah a couple times. Especially when I was younger and really insecure about talking to women. Sometimes your brain just locks in and everything flows

    I was at a party over the weekend and afterwards someone told me I was the most fun person there. I was very surprised because I felt really uncomfortable dancing and laughing and just “letting loose”.

    I’ve always been a shy person, and that sort of thing doesn’t come naturally to me. I think I’ve just become better at pretending to be someone I’m not. If I was to be myself, I’d have sat in the corner and barely said anything, which is generally not conducive to building relationships with peers.

    So I felt like it wasn’t my best work after I left, until that person made me remember that how I perceive myself is different to how other people perceive me. It was a positive experience.

    You can almost see the “Your friends will remember this” pop up in the top right. And you don’t know if that is a good thing or not

    Not quite my case. I’m more of “Mmm, that was the best work I could do, and somehow it’s still not good enough?!”
