I’ve been known as the “smart, artistic, shy, quiet” girl since, well, kindergarten. But I’m not undermining myself when I don’t talk much. Of course, I feel much more comfortable talking under a fake name (like Indigo) so that people don’t know my true identity and judge me. I don’t like to talk or present in front of many people because I’m just afraid of embarrassing myself and having people judge me. Yeah, I know I’m awesome and smart, but I don’t want people to think of me as something else. Plus, I just HATE being embarrassed, maybe more than other people. I just feel… awful. I even sometimes describe myself as “semi-antisocial.” But I’m probably not. Whatever. I love who I am and what I can do. And I have a tendency to write WAY more than I meant to.
