Im always having problems saying what I mean and I "waffle" on

Keep anon as embarressing or delete.

People always put words in my mouth as they assume im saying something else,

I am an easy target for trolls and even in the "real world" I have few friends as people see me as strange.

Im a waffler, and a bit of a unintentional gossip, im a bit shy so when I do speak I go on and on and on(like this thread)

Every girl I meet thinks Im attracted to her.

Everyone thinks I am a geek. or strange but im strange or a geek as I dont get a chance to speak to people so when I do speak for ages.

As a result if I post a thread people think im complaining or whinging when in reality im just wanting to speak to someone.

Im confused and dont understand really why im seen this way as im the sort of person whos mr nice guy to everyone.

Some people just see nice people as something to walk all over.

The only thing I can suggest is that if you want to change maybe think of what youre going to say before you say it? Sort of bullet-point it in your head, so you don't waffle on as much.

But the odd thing - relish it! I know I'm odd and I'm proud!

Just watch out for people who will laugh at you, but they aren't worth dealing with!

Hope this helps! x

i have that problem writing essays - takes me forever to get to the point, then i don't actually make the point :s-smilie:

Try and make the point first, then back it up with waffle, at least then you'll have gotten your point across!

So what if you're a bit quirky?! Quirky is cool =]
