Nervousness

I too feel more comfortable when dressed up, but more like I can see that as someone I want to be. Too much dreams have made me get another picture of myself then I actually am, but I can still go out on town without makeup and clothes done... (people stare a lot more, at least girls, when you're not dressed nice. Even gothic is ok, but not taking care of yourself is not accepted... what a world)

But it is really relative. Sometimes when I'm lost, I ask for directions and walk around, but don't feel nervous at all. Same with makeup - sometimes I don't care, sometimes I have to. And when this happenes I have no clue, because it can be a normal day both times.

I find that strange - I'm exactly the same! Even though I can wander around and look completely out of place where I live, whilst dressed up, I just feel happier.

Shopping gives me the same kind of feeling - Buying clothes that I think look good. :woohoo: I guess it's in the hopes that I look good in them, haha.

I had an interview this morning and for once I wasn't nervous. The last one I went to had me sweating like crazy. My whole back was drenched from sitting in that hot chair. This morning I stood the whole time and it was so much nicer. I wasn't even the least bit worried. Hope I get the job!

Good luck!

I think interviews would generally be nicer if the interviewers wore casual clothing. In a way, shirt/tie combos do seem a lot more menacing compared to a t-shirt and jeans or something along those lines. People say to imagine them naked, but that would really put me off. :woohoo:

Haha. That would be fun.

But I don't mind wearing dress clothes and a tie. It's what I normally wear. I like looking all dressed up. I never need a reason. It just suits me...hee hee, get it? 'Suit's me' ahhh I crack myself up

Surprisingly, that one made me laugh. :woohoo:

I live in Newcastle, Australia and I don't know if anybody has been here, but it is uncommon for a boy to wear a scarf here, its your typical singlet, shorts and thongs place(as Australia is made out to be in movies)

I stand out so much and I am amazed at how strange people are, I have had people who get angry and offended by how I dress with a scarf and loads or random flare and my hair up and makeup, just cause I am a guy
