one thing that will help some of you, and its very powerful, is to adopt some of the australian sense of humour. i dont know what you poms are like over thier, but americans definetly have alot of ground to gain in this area.
you have to learn to laugh at yourself. In many groups of friends in australia, the sole entertainment is one bloke having a go at another bloke about his nose, his small thingy, his inability to drink much, his crappy job, nasty gf, lack of intellect, or whatever, and then everyone laughing at that person all day\night :lol:
its not seen as offensive or anything, its just a joke. the bloke bieng picked on will turn around and admit it and make some witty comment, and onwards we go. It really is a great way to get comfortable with yourself and build your self confidence by not taking yourself too seriously.
