yeah.
> I think that will help a lot, knowing that Babblers will understand. This is one of the reasons why I keep posting my fears on the boards. Babblers in real life should understand too.yes. and i think they will be just as understanding irl...
> That's good to know. I just don't want people to feel awkward if I'm quiet a lot of the times.Okay. It takes (at least) two people to get one of those awkward silences... I used to worry about that a lot. The silence. And so I'd try and think of something to say try and think... And sometimes I'd come up with something a bit odd. What I'm starting to see though... Is that it takes (at least) two people to get one of those awkward silences. They aren't saying anything either. So you shouldn't feel pressured or like you have to break it. Because the other person could say something too...
Besides which...
Silences can be nice.
A smile tends to life the awkwardness a little...
I wish I could go too.
Have a great time.
