In general I feel like I stand out much more as a confident individual when speaking in my native tongue (spanish) than when I talk in english, probably because I sound less mumbly and more professional in spanish.
Aside from that, I feel like I'm always the same person in any language.
Confession Session - LOCK THIS THREAD

I have two foreign housemates and I always feel like I come across as shy and awkward in English even though I'm not shy at all, just introverted. I'm quiet in Dutch too, but I still talk a hell of a lot more.

I just almost choked on a bit of chocolate egg and now have bile stuck at the back of my throat and it won't go away.
And I can't find this bloody pizza mum said she'd left me to cook for lunch.
MYSTERY PIZZA
garlic
oh
love
oh
joy
oh
BILE BEGONE
< A >seriously been on since 8am and STILL half asleep.
How does one go about waking oneself up
other than tea (actually that might get ridda the bile)
and scary things which will cause me to shit my kecks and jump a milethere's also this girl who keeps cantering around outside with her horse down our road…
GTFO. -
I'm hell of a lot funnier when I speak english (or is it just me…) but I always typo when delivering punch lines...
Kinda ruins the joke ya' know. -
So I'm watching the Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl

@Nia:
I might have a thing for scars.
You're not the only one. I don't have any prominent scars, but whenever I get them I'm in no rush to let them heal. A mole was surgically removed from my neck a couple of years ago and I thought it was cool to have sticthes and a scar :D The scar is barely visible anymore, but I still find myself touching the tiny patch of scar tissue often. At one point I even seriously considered getting the moles on my forehead removed, because I thought having scars there would look less ridiculous.
To the non native speaking english people here:
Sometimes when I talk in english, I feel like I'm a completely different person… is it only me?
This happens to me a lot, especially just recently when I began working with a lovely exchange student for a painting project. Speaking in English even raises my confidence if I'm in a particularly good flow and the words just come out naturally. Though I guess ultimately I'm able to express myself in the best way in Finnish.
Then again on Skype my English gets worse and I stumble a lot… probably because at those times I'm nervous about being perfectly comprehensible.

Same here, i always pick at my scabs because i know it will cause a bigger scar to be left behind.

You really don't stumble as often as you think you do.
-
I've grown to like my scars, even if they send the wrong first impression to people. There's a noticeable scar above my right eye and a fairly large scar across my left cheek. When I've shaved, you can see 2 or 3 small scars on the side of my chin as well. The largest scar I have is one that goes all the way across my left elbow. Incidentally, that scar also has the least badass story of all the ones I have (I tripped on a potato).

I almost laughed at this but then I remembered this very thing happening to me a month or two ago.

I've just recently realized something…
Whenever I talk to a certain guy (some time ago my classmate, now one of my friends), there are two scenarios:
1) I think about how I want us to be a couple and how I like his appearance, way of speaking etc; so all in all, how I love or have a crush on him.2) I just go with the flow.
Needless to say the second is the better. So instead of stressing all the way, I'm just myself. No disguises to make myself look "better", just who I am.
So, it took me a while to finally realize this. I just thought I'd share since this is a kind of confession to me.

Your first 'confession' is part of the "Human Condition". Pretty much everyone has it from time-to-time; same with the second me thinks.

You do realise you've just made the worst pun in the history of the universe, don't you ? :P
On a more related note, I've met one of my old teaches today and sort of told her how I've been screwed over, job-wise, and I'm not 100 % sure if I should have. She's okay, just not sure if I had to specificaly say as much as I did.

There's nothing better than purposely terrible jokes.

Oh god, it took me a minute to understand it. Damn, I love this kind of jokes~

I watched that episode when it was shown in class. I wanted to point out that I knew where the background music came from, but I digressed, because that would have been really awkward. However, the whole point of the show is that everyone can be awkward, so there isn't really a reason to feel ashamed about it. I guess I'll announce my finding in class later. LOL

A: Botswana

Had that too last week. Then the standard "as long as you're happy and do what you like"-speech as an answer.
Yeah shouldn't have talk with her, just saying hello or something like that. -
I have an ambition to transform the human race as a species, and basically take over evolution and natural selection. Am I dangerously insane for thinking that? Or just merely delusional? Or is that actually something I should have resolve to do?
The main problem is that no matter how cool an idea that is, I can't predict the consequences. The atomic bomb was created out of an awesome idea of using subatomic chain reactions to release a greater amount of energy than was available than ever before. We've succeeded in discovering a new energy source, but was it worth the consequential deaths of millions and the decades of uninhabitable land and environmental damage? If I tried to take control of biology, would I create the worst epidemic in the world?
Should I just think "Fuck it, I'm doing whatever I want anyway. Fuck that ethical bullshit."?

I'm fairly certain you already know the answer to your own question. If you want to show a disregard for human life then prepare to be disregarded yourself.

I have three "goofy" ones that I just had to say.
! Anytime I see anything My Little Pony related, I consider blasting myself to another planet.
! Confederate Flags on cars are the worst things I have ever seen.
! Seth Rogen is my celebrity enemy and I am sick of Emma Stone. -
Perhaps for your next birthday I'll send you a dead pony….or a dead Seth Rogen.

You're not alone.
And sorry igetownd but you sound like some crazy Nazi.

Isn't having a Confederate flag on your car a notification that you're a product of incest?

I masturbated to a couple photos of anthropomorphic NIAIST robots just now.
You think this is a joke.
You would be wrong.

That wasn't my concern -_-
My concern was that I may create or discover something that could wipe out humanity if I pursue it, and am worried that I'm just being delusional and paranoid.

Dude, I hope I comfort you when I say that I have masturbated to worse stuff, although never constantly.
If you now feel creeped out, in my defense, I am seeing a therapist, and am recovering.
It's also comforting to admit that you can recover from almost anything if you want to (death is an exception of course, so just don't die). Unless, I invent resurrection technology

Stop writing "NIAIST" all the time!
It's creeping me out. -
I don`t even know what a Niaist Robot is supposed to be.
Googled it. Very sexy.
