I am pretty introverted. I don’t hate people but I do gain a certain enjoyment from spending time by myself. I’m also pretty shy and I really hate having the spotlight. That being said, I have no problem being in a crowd of strangers, as in a crowded store or something.

I do have a wife and a daughter. It was my wife who struck up an extended conversation with me after I made some witty comment when we first met. I did not make the first move. I couldn’t.

But now that I’m married, I’m much more secure around people. I’m not on the market so I can just because myself. For the most part, anyway. I’m still rather awkward at times and can have a tendency to talk too much or put my foot in my mouth. It is after those moments, when I realized it, that I shut up for a while. Kind of a back and forth at times.

My relationship with my wife has been strained at times over the years, due to me being stupid or her being depressed. But we still love each other. I’ve known my wife for 15 years and we’ve been married for 12. I LOVE my daughter, and she’s only 2.
