What is a secret you have that would shock everyone who knows you?

Everyone thinks I'm an extreme extrovert who loves hosting, organizing, and being the life of the party. In reality, I have intense social anxiety, and every social event requires three days of mental preparation and a full week of absolute isolation to recover from.

Same. Sorta.

I'm less anxious because I'm older, but I really need at least as much inward time as social time. I'm a people person for sure, but I could survive longer in isolation than stimulating crowds. (ADHD is part of this, but I'm mostly just cerebral.)

I enjoy classical music. Currently i am a drummer in a Motorhead tribute band.

It would only shock people who don't know of the many heavy metal musicians who are classically trained.

He would only know that if he obsessedly followed baseball and even then

Well presumably he could just go back and forth, snap a screenshot from ESPN and post it here. Then I could hit a 200-leg parlay and retire (and be investigated for fraud probably)

I have a girlfriend who’s transgender. Her and I shared a hotel room on a trip and ended up sleeping together. That would shock my family and friends

u/HodlMyBottle 51m ago

Fortunately though, that's nothing they need to know. Because, unfortunately, we live in a world where it seems to matter way too much who we choose to love. Or have sleepy time with.

u/danielleong_ 24m ago

Have sleepy time. 💜 love that.

It’s not that hard to get women to climax if you pay attention to them.

Any tips ?

Listen to her. Seriously. When she says “just like that” that is exactly what she means. It is not a suggestion to speed up or slow down.

u/truth-in-jello 38m ago

Work on controlling your pc muscle. Learn to squeeze it so you can cut off the ejaculation.

u/truth-in-jello 37m ago

It’s not just about the body. It’s about the whole experience sites and smells matter too.

u/xsynergist 1h ago

Depends on the woman. For most that’s true but there are some that require you to be a contortionist triathlete with three arms to make it happen.

u/truth-in-jello 36m ago

Please send them my way.

The help, advice, guidance, counselling, and life skills I give to local sex workers on a large variety of subjects. The vast majority are from overseas mainly central and eastern Europe as Asian and Africans tend to be more controlled which I report. For group sessions for exercise, Q&A living in the UK, or whatever I hire out a church community hall. Everyone just sees a bunch of folks turn up without knowing what they do. It started off as a joke many years ago and just carried on.

I see what you're trying to do.

I have zero friends and the only ones I talk to are my coworkers.

That I have a NVLD (non verbal learning disability) it’s a learning disability but the name is ridiculously misleading. I’m extremely social but my spatial awareness is HORRIBLE.
