I need some advice

[tickleteasing]

This year as I did last year I am going to nest. well like last year I am very nervous. I guess last year I felt bad because everyone seemed so comfortable with everyone else and were a lot more able to talk to one another than I was. I feel like sometimes that I am extremely hard to approach.

the way i see it, just go in, have some fun, and if u wanna talk to someone, talk to em. this year will be my first time going, and im not gunna let shyness or nervousness hold me back from having the time of my life chillin with a bunch of people who share my love for tickling. if somebody doesnt wanna talk, theyll let ya know, in which case u just move on to the next interesting person/group.

Awwwww you are sweet, awww don't worry dear friend...you are not unapproachable and it is understandable that you are feeling a bit nervous and not sure about it all; however you need to try not to worry you are a great person and a very friendly guy and a sweetie and I am sure after others get to know you -gonna realize what a sweetie and a great friend you are and that you can be. So be yourself and try not to worry so much friend. Be your sweet friendly kind self and sure you will have no troubles. Best luck and best wishes with attending NEST again this year. Sending you many hugs and tickles.

That is because I was not there. I seem to break the ice with the newbies. Sort of like the NEST welcome wagon. 😀

I don't know you and don't get what you mean by that?!


To you Tickleteasing - Take this to heart ... if you're comfortable with yourself then others will follow. Don't do the self fullfilling prophecy meaning set yourself up for a fall. Enjoy your life and what it has to offer and everything else will fall into place! If you enjoy the "company" of those friends you've met on here then induct them into your energy and the rest will want to be around you and so on and so on.

We are always ready to question how we are percieved by others, how we look, what we should wear, if we are judged and how that looks, etc.

Just be yourself tickleteasing and if you do that you will have a wonderful time at this NEST. As a Life Coach I always ask my clients this question so now I will ask you. When you ask questions like this think to yourself "where else in my life do I ask questions like this?" Don't think about things like this so much Enjoy It, Embrace It and have loads of fun.

If this adds any degree of comfort, NEST is not high school (i.e., cliques, etc.) It is a group of like minded folks who generally share the same goals...that being coming to NEST to continue already existing friendships and make new ones. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine; although, some degree of courage, or should I say self-confidence, is required so as not to subcome to becoming a wall flower. We are presented with many opportunities every day (this being one of them). The question is whether you take advantage of them.

Diva,

I usually can spot a person at the NEST who seems uncomfortable or shy. I walk over to them and say something to break the ice. Then I engage in a conversation about the NEST and try to make them feel at home with the group.

Anteap was such a person, and he told me later he was glad I came over and chatted with him. Made him feel at home he said to me when we talked another time.

Life's not the only one. There's also several of the women here who'll greet ya and try to make ya welcome. Seen it already.

There's some REALLY good people here who include all who aren't offending. Takes an awful lot to offend, 'round here. 🙂

That is for sure DVNC! I am looking more in the old days of the NEST when we had them held at Max's Apt. MKeemer was really nice to me at the first NEST I attended.

You have Me, Yourself, MKeemer, Affectionate Dan, and many many others who will just make you feel right at home.

Amazing how the NEST has so many ladies now. Ratio is much better than in 1997. At my first NEST it was Three Ladies I think? Beauty UK, and two others who came along. I think the Ratio was like 8 men to one lady back then. Now it's down to 2 men to one woman.

Also it's nice to see more couples coming to these gatherings.

See you in two days folks.
