Oh I am. At least before I know people a little.

Certainly I need to get better at approaching people for pics in gigs/clubs. It's a regular resolution.

The worst thing that can happen is that I don't get a decent shot and then have to admit that after the event...

I know it's rather ridiculous. Hence my intention to confront it straight on!

I don't know - I joke that my camera is a social crutch and that's probably true. However more than just analysing I need to get out there and do some more.

I think it's a bit of "approaching people" and a bit of "failure".

I think unless you are photographing photographers

Ooh, you don't want to do that, they are an ugly bunch!

Are you psychoanalysing my icons? Actually that icon tends to be more for "innocent" "unsure" "questioning".

lol

I must tell you the story sometime about why I hate telephones...

I find it difficult judging how serious you're being - but I feel it's a large leap from being slightly apprehensive about approaching strangers to a full-blown psychological condition.

And I don't ~like~ phones but I'm perfectly capable of using them - I suspect because email is just far superior!

I would say almost everyone has certain social situations where shyness takes over.

I was going to ask you what you would say if someone said 'is nix shy' - but I think i might post about this later if i remember.

I just thought it was a bit rude hijacking kneeshooter's post and wanted to move the discussion elsewhere. However, I feel I should reply to your comment. While the basics of your assessment of my character are correct in that I am shy and have some quite deep-rooted confidence issues in some areas, I have to disagree with the strength of the words you have used. Its quite amusing you see me in such strong terms and possibly explains a lot. I appreciate the highly intelligent remark though ;p
