Well, I have a hard time with confrontation. I'm not afraid...I just LOATHE arguing with people. Dealing with hurt feelings(I'd rather just suck it up, myself - than deal with possibly hurting their feelings).
I'm a facebook whore. I can't leave it alone. Checking it constantly. I NEVER wanted to join...and Michelle2677(remember her, from here?) dragged me kicking and screaming, onto FB. And I became hooked!
Fact is...I have MANY more friends now, because of FB, than I used to. And I mean in real life! I used to be really anti-social, and after joining FB, I ended up invited to a couple of parties(where I literally only knew one person), and it was funny. Everybody liked me, and all of the sudden I was in the middle of this huge social circle in my town, that I was never a part of, before. I've analyzed the hell out of it, and it's true, I really owe it all to FB. I have party invitations almost every weekend, now...
And I meet with friends from there(that I never knew before) a couple of times a week, for dinner.
