You act just like I do when I'm at school. I try to stay quiet at school mostly to focus on schoolwork and I...don't really have much to say, reallly to other students other than my friends. But even then I have to think up of something to say.
I guess, subconciously another reason I joined MLP Forums is for people to my voice on certain topics, to try to break my shell a bit. To be honest it's benn working! In some cases, it's perfectly normal to bring attention to yourself. We are humans after all.
But if you see me cooped up to my computer (a bad habit, I know) then I DON'T want attention, lol.
