14. Would you mind showing these visitors round and telling them what you do (at work).

Not like you can stand there in front of loads of visitors and say NO. I've got the knack of this though now, I know the sound of visitors footsteps so I run out of the other door when my visitor radar goes red.

on that note we should add:

"your presentation should last 10-15 minutes"

10-15 seconds is just about managable........I'd rather throw myself down the steps so I can goto hospital for a plaster-cast than do a 10-15min talk.

15. Done anything interesting lately?

Most of the posts on this thread are recognisable SA-sparking situations for me (or have been in the past), particularly the above.
In fact I think in the past any question about me was a question I did not want to and could not answer. I'd have preferred to just be left alone to blend into the background so no one could judge. Here's one or two more.

23. How was your weekend? (Please don't ask I have no life and my answer isn't valid anyway)
24. [In class/group situation] Now everybody find yourself a partner (argh, I'm not going to have one, no one's going to want me or I'll end up being paired with the teacher, argh the humiliation)
25. [In class/group situation] Get into groups (See 24)
26. [From family members known me since childhood] So what's your friend X up to nowadays? (Don't ask, I don't know, I never see her, I'm too scared and too much of a loser)
27. [From mum] Why don't you ever invite any of your friends over? Why don't you give X a call? (Argh! because it stresses me out!!)
There are more, I'm sure there are many more....

Cheer Up

Stepford · #47 2nd March 2009, 14:14

28. Let's go (wherever)there will be tons of people there - we'll have fun...

No you'll have fun - I'll feel like I've walked into a nest of vipers.

30. Have you been away (meaning inside) for 6 months?

I don't care to dispel this myth.

Louise Marie · #49 2nd March 2009, 14:41

How about wedding orientated ones...

32. - 'louise and guest'are invited to.....

33 - 'i'd luv you to be my bridesmaid'

34.- 'come on, everyone dances to this song...'

35 - 'you'll do a reading at the church won't you?'

NO,NO, NO and NO Ihate weddings and hide in the toilets!'

LOL

37. Can you give me you address an telephone number.

A problem when you have a blank-out spell... Name? er, hold on a moment let me think.

Shanibandangle · #54 2nd March 2009, 15:52

Any reference to "She" or "Her" is pretty bad to me.

But one of the worst things i've ever heard somebody say is "I want an answer from each and every one of you."
