Does this mean if there was a DPC get together near one of our home towns we would not go? I think I would still go. I would be alright for something like that, but I might feel a little uncomfortable if we went to a bar, or to someone's house afterward though. I guess that depends on how the first part of the day went. I wouldn't mind going out on the street or to a park or something, and taking pictures and sharing information, and learning. I'm not totally reclusive or anything. What would you other social anxiety types do? Would you go, or not?

i would go, i eventually talk to people i am just scared when i am doing it and avoid it if i can. once i start to feel comfortable then i am a whole new person. my friends love hanging out with me but get mad when i dont want to hang out with them because they are going to be with people i dont know. i just dont feel comfortable. sometimes i just have to deal with it because i know i will be happy for having done it in the end. i love making new friends its just breaking the ice thats the hard part.
i hope this makes sense

I would go (if able), but I would likely leave my little point and shoot in my pocket -- lens envy is an evil thing. :)

Sure, that makes sense. I guess that's the way I am too. I'm still kind of a loner, but I can be with other people, and talk to them. It all depends on how well I know the other people I guess. I'm extremely quiet at first, but usually come around. But sometimes I don't turn that corner, and remain quiet and reclusive. I don't know. It's weird.

I am very sick tonight and just popping in for a moment when I saw this new turn fo the thread. I had wondered about this myself - what would "we" do in this situation. I just got called away again, but I hope there's more postings to this.

I will promise to go, intend to go and at the last moment not want to go anymore.... even now. But i wonder how much of this now only a bad habit I have?
Sorry to hear you are not well, Kylie... hope you feel better soon :-)

| I was rather timid in my younger years, but worked through it, but I find in many photography situations I tend to have the same problem. I'm not comfortable in front of a camera myself, so I find I'm not comfortable taking pictures of people. I'm relatively new at photography so I don't really have confidence in my abilities, so I too rush shots,etc. I DON'T get self-conscious when taking shots in private, or out in the country shooting nature and such - in fact it becomes theraputic - I lose track of time and block EVERYTHING out. A bomb could go off beside me and I wouldn't notice.I think when I become more confident in my abilities -or the subject matter becomes all important - it may become easier. Or maybe some of us are not cut out for certain types of photography.I'm a poet and frequently have to read poetry in public. Starting out was torture, but now I lap it up. But I'm confident in my writing and since I publish in mags and journals it's obvious editors find promise in my work. Hmmmm Maybe to some of us photography is still a rather "private" endeavor? |
