Shy, Skittish... Hello?

[Guest CharlieRose]

I never really post in the Intro forums that often, but I thought I'd point out that I LOVE your signature quote. I don't really like poetry, usually, and I've only read two of cummings' poems, one more avant-garde, that just made me go "Uh, sure..." I don't remember what it was called. The other one was "less than of course god america i" and I liked that one.

What poem is that quote from? (Or is it from an interview or something?)

Hi Felica Anne,

You do have a nice name. Anyway, I guess I am late, not opening my eyes at the right moments, sorry.

What a turn out since you first introduced yourself! yes?

See, nobody was kidding when they said this was a safe and warm place to be. It looks like you have gotten just a little bit more comfortable with being here. That will never end.

l was a bit shy in the begginning as well, I was mortified when I first introduced myself and stayed that way untill I saw the first response and then the second, and so on. I was absolutely stunned. I thought I was dreaming when I saw such warm welcomes, and then after that all the support that I was given.

You have come to the right place to sort out your life. It is a safe haven away from the distractions of the less enlightened world. You can think, you can ask questions, and you can even cry and someone will always be there. I have never been left alone here.

I am glad to welcome you to this forum and look forward to seeing you on the posts throughout the forum. Just put down your thoughts and comments. I find that there is nothing like realizind something about yourself when you see someone else has been there.

Talk to you soon Felicia Anne

luv

Well you are definately in a caring and friendly environment, so this is the best place to work on your self confidence.

You are among friends so this is where you can say what you think and have no need to appologize for it.

Be yourself and guess what?

People will like you.

Love ya,

Sally

Heya, Felicia!

I know how you feel about being shy. I'm painfully shy -- even behind this computer screen sometimes. However, let me assure you that you've come to the right place. Of course with all the hot coco, cookies and the warm fire, I'm sure you already know that.

It's good to have you with us. See ya around the forums!
