[QUOTE="Rashak Mani, post: 1048426, member: 642"] Sorry to be frank but it certainly seems like your in the "I dont want to seem non-cool" syndrome. Also you don't want goofy players greeting you outside the gaming arena ? I just came back from a trip and I travelled with two canadians. A boy and a girl. School mates not a couple. She said she was travelling with him only because the "cool guys" dont care about travelling and that he even thou he wasnt "one of the cool guys" he ok to travel with. Thou he was a bit goofy and was a straight A student. He was far from nerdy... but he certainly wasnt the cool guy back home. Yet he was always positive about everything and the best travel companion possible. Always cheerful and adventurous. Never complained. I certainly felt that the girl was being quite stupid about this cool vs non-cool thing, especially in a foreign country. If she had stopped her "prejudice" a bit and worried less about image she would have much more fun. Sorry for the rant. I certainly know gamers that are spooky and I might avoid them in non gaming social situations, but I wouldnt stop playing RPGs because others might think I am a wierdo. It might not be the image thing thou for you... but that was certainly my impression. If your just very shy/very self concious... then you need someone to drag you to the games and just relax. RPG wont take a piece off you... and also no one is obliged to stand on the table and shout diety names when they make a Turn Undead. People wont hate you cause your not an amateur theatre actor. They will hate it if you cast the fireball in the middle of the group... but not because your "boring" to play with role-playing wise. Human beings are social animals... [/QUOTE]
