Re: University worries :/

Re: Do you feel others make friends so easily?
I know, I've wondered about this before too and really don't know the answer.
I haven't made any real friends since school and that was over 20 years ago. I'm still friendly with my school...

Re: Physicality and SA
At 5' 9" you're not small. I certainly don't think so as my husband is that height and I've never thought of him as small even though I'm just an inch shorter.
Your boss is just a giraffe. :d

Re: Scared of using people's names?

Re: Is it weird to spend so much time on your own?
I don't socialise at all and prefer my own company. I just like being on my own. I don't feel envious if I look on Facebook and see people I know out at parties or whatever; I always feel glad I'm...
