    Being patronized

    Today I was called 'such a poppet' at work. Not in a malicious way at all, but they don't realise how saying things like that crush me inside. This is what I meant when I said they don't see me as an adult at work... when you're 20 getting on for 21 and working full time, with it coming from...

    How old are your friends?

    ...especially to those of you who are 20 like me. How old are your friends? I'm just wondering if I'm trying to punch above my weight with everything I'm trying to do right now. Of the people who I work with, I have 'known' two since I started, and both are 22. I know it's only two years...

    Men's hair

    This is a question to all the men out there - what is your hair like? I've had the same haircut all my life and though it doesn't look too bad (it is short and it's not quite a bowl), it can't be helping me look my age (20!). Obviously there's shaving it very short but what else is there...

    Another potential friend gone

    Tomorrow one of the people that I have worked with for the past couple of months will be leaving. And as a result of my shyness I'll never see her again. I don't quite know what I'm even asking here. I know that through life you're going to meet lots of people that you're not going to see...

    Reasons for talking to strangers

    Hi everyone. I feel it's about time I asked this. I'm currently 18 and just finishing college. I've always been shy, and I realise that I've missed out on a lot of social experience. I'm not too bad with talking to people, but only if they talk to me. For example, if a teacher or someone else...
