Each time
I enter the habbo world, I'm overcome with awe at the ease of conversation between users. I wonder did these people know each other before they met up in the Habbo Mall? Or are they just so comfortable with their avatar selves that they have no problems asking for private "quiet" conversations and committed relationships from one another? Obviously, I'm uncomfortable because everytime a habbo friend approaches and asks to be my bf, I click on a square far far away and creep on others' conversations.

My curiosity got the best of me last night and I decided to join Habbo Hotel so I could learn more about it. I was hanging out at the lounge that was supposed to be a welcoming social kind of place, but there were a lot of people just sitting around doing nothing. Some guy came up to me and asked how old I was--I told him I was old enough! I felt really shy because I did not know what to bring up in conversation. It's hard enough for me to initiate small talk with someone I don't know and especially difficult to do it without any real frame of reference for what this person in front of me is like. Glad I did it, though. It really did stretch my comfort zone a little.
ReplyDeleteI agree. At first I was amazed about how sociable some of these people are and at the same time kind of envious because I could never approach a stranger with such ease. The more time I spent in the Hotel I became more extroverted because I realized these people dont know me and never will. At first I thought asl meant somehing perverted and I didnt know how to respond and just said yeah and walked out of the room but then I learned the lingo and started to have some discourse with people of my same age which made me more comfortable with the experiance. I agree with Maggy that it really stretched my comfort zone.
