Cock Talk

It seems that many people in their later years, if asked, will tell you that if they could go back and tell themselves anything, it’s to stop worrying what other people think of them.

Is there something you wish you had done but didn’t because you were worried what others might think?
Uh huh.

On a scale of 1-10, what is your general social anxiety level?
Yeah, right in there.
Sometimes I feel a lot of it.
Sometimes I am in a room of people and I begin to feel the social anxiety creeping in.
Then I just picture myself killing everyone and it goes away. 😆
Nah. It really just depends on the group.
If I know them, its not there.
if I don't, then I watch quietly (i.e. lurk) until I believe I am comfortable enough to interact.
Are you still holding back? Why?
Sure.
It's easier.


On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?
No, I don't think that's ever been a problem.
Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?
No. Nothing "got out" that I didn't put out.

^Or, are you concerned something sexy from your past might come back to haunt you today?
I am not concerned about it because it 100% still haunts me to this day.🤣
^^Or, do you wish you had been more sexually carefree and you had something that might come back to haunt you?
Nahh. I checked that box.


Have you ever completely humiliated yourself and realized that the world just keeps spinning and nobody cares, or are you still afraid to find out?
Yes, and yes it keeps spinning.
I am probably more concerned about it than anyone else, tbh.

Of course. In my youth I made many such mistakes. But I wouldn't be the me I am now without them, so it doesn't feel worth regretting them.

25.

More seriously, it depends. At work? Zero. I know my business and I cruise. In casual social situations? High. I don't mind crowds if they can be sorted into "our group" and "everybody else," but in situations like parties or group functions I just can't people.

In more intimate social settings? Depends heavily on the person. I'm slow to get comfortable but relax tremendously once I feel that with someone.

Are you still holding back? Why?

Yes. Y'all couldn't handle the full Xerxes. Hell, *I* can't handle the full Xerxes most days. I'm a lot. Both good and bad.

On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?

Never, not even once. Freeing myself from that noose was the first step on a long road to meeting my true self. Never gonna look back.

Oh god yes. Sometimes it's surprising how quickly things pass, other times it feels like they linger for an agonizongly long time.

Just one more hill to climb and mire to wade through. Life, she is a varied if sometimes harsh mistress.

Probably - the choice not taken, the road not travelled. But nothing specific.

When I'm out? 2. When I'm home, it can be an 8.
Are you still holding back? Why?
here? Or irl? Here, I'm careful.
On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?
no. That hasn't worried me.
Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?
no. Not that got out. That I know of. *looks worried*
^Or, are you concerned something sexy from your past might come back to haunt you today?
today, specifically? Who's got my nudes??
^^Or, do you wish you had been more sexually carefree and you had something that might come back to haunt you? 🤣
No. I've been quite carefree enough.

And yes. You become yesterday's news quite quickly. But, there is always someone with a long memory to poke fun.

I don't entirely agree with this statement. I mask a fair amount. Not from concern over being liked, but as protection. Acting or thinking differently from other people can be dangerous.

Not the context of the question, I realize, but it's a reality for some neurodivergent types.

Is there something you wish you had done but didn’t because you were worried what others might think?
Nope. I pretty much do what catches my attention.

Generally speaking, low. There are a few things that will trigger me into overdrive:

-Crooooooooowds. That press of people is overwhelming.
-Courts, government offices, medical insurance (😂). Any situation where authority is involved.
-SuBmiSsiOn

Are you still holding back? Why?
The only thing I'm trepidatious about is making the leap to explore my kink with people. Why? A variety of reasons. To sum up, I'm reserved, need a narrow set of circumstances, and have . . . let's go with definite opinions. :catgrin:

On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?
I don't know that I'd say that exactly, but it might have been helpful to realize I was neurodivergent earlier in life.

Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?
I feel like and thread regular already knows the answer to this question. :p

🤔 🤔 🤔

Well, coming to an understanding and acceptance of my kink sooner would have be nice.

Have you ever completely humiliated yourself and realized that the world just keeps spinning and nobody cares, or are you still afraid to find out?

Constantly! 🤣

But it's amazing (and wonderful) how fast that unwanted fifteen minutes of fame passes off!

I can't really think of anything; I've been a "Do what I want" (within reason) kinda person since I've been a kid, really.

A 2. I don't really have social anxiety. There are times when I just don't feel like being bothered with people, but it's not an anxiety thing, its a "people are annoying" thing.

Are you still holding back? Why?

There is nothing I'm holding back from; if there's something I want to do, I either do it or figure out how to do it.

1. Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?
2. Or, are you concerned something sexy from your past might come back to haunt you today?
3. Or, do you wish you had been more sexually carefree and you had something that might come back to haunt you? 🤣
1. Not to my knowledge, 2. no., 3. I've had a lot of creative, interesting sexual experiences, they've just happened to be within relationships.

It's funny... I think being a domme has made me even more deliberate in how my sexuality presents itself. I've seen sexual desire take many forms, and have been a recipient of it by nature of my.... proclivities. Being persistently and overtly sexual (just for the sake of being sexual) is boring to me.

I've never been in a situation where I've been humiliated, but I wouldn't need that experience to understand that, in general, people are more concerned about what's going on in their day to day than whatever is going on in your world. I do not have main character syndrome.

I’d have been more of a ho. All the way.

0-1
Are you still holding back? Why?
Meh. Nope. You get what you get. I only hold back when I’m into someone I think I might offend lol
On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?
Nope. I did too much of that. I didn’t look like the popular girls who were desirable. That can do a number, so you grow armor, make yourself more of what isn’t desirable in hopes of finding another misfit who sees you.
Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?
No… but I was a swinger for a bit. There were a lot of rumors when shit went south. It’s a good thing I’m a good person. The rumors were ignored or dismissed. It’s good to not be a shitty human, just a kinky one.
^Or, are you concerned something sexy from your past might come back to haunt you today?
Nope. It’ll be what it’ll be. I wonder if my kids will ever hear the rumors… then I remember they’re my kids and probably have adventures into their own weird stuff
^^Or, do you wish you had been more sexually carefree and you had something that might come back to haunt you? 🤣
Hahaha. Nah. Reality is far stranger than fiction
Have you ever completely humiliated yourself and realized that the world just keeps spinning and nobody cares, or are you still afraid to find out?
Of course . I went to high school. 😏
 
When I'm out? 2. When I'm home, it can be an 8.
I’m confused. Is it that you become less anxious when you go out, but staying home thinking about going out makes you more anxious? Kind of like public speaking, the stress is in the waiting, but once you walk up to the podium you calm down?
I do not have main character syndrome.
Is this a thing? I may have this?
I’d have been more of a ho. All the way.
Me too! Would that make me a Bro Ho? 🤔

I think exactly that. When I'm out, I'm the life and soul, confident in any social situation.

But, I can just as easily convince myself to not go out at all.
 
Is there something you wish you had done but didn’t because you were worried what others might think?
Sure. I used to care about what people thought all the time. I can't think of specific examples because there are just so many. I suppose a big one was I didn't explore my sexuality in any meaningful way (thankfully I had literotica!) because I was concerned about societal and marital expectations of me.


On a scale of 1-10, what is your general social anxiety level?

1. I don't struggle with social anxiety.

Are you still holding back? Why?

I'm getting better at going for the things I want. The hardest thing for me has been learning to explore what it is I want. I've been so used to accommodating other people.

On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?

No. I'm female. I was raised to think about what other people think ALL THE TIME.

Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?

I've done stuff. It hasn't blown back on me, do I can't talk to that.

^Or, are you concerned something sexy from your past might come back to haunt you today?

Nah. I'll own whatever comes out.

^^Or, do you wish you had been more sexually carefree and you had something that might come back to haunt you? 🤣

No. I've been pretty sexually carefree and sensible-ish.

Have you ever completely humiliated yourself and realized that the world just keeps spinning and nobody cares, or are you still afraid to find out?

Oh ya!
Back in high school I accidentally emailed my entire grade level and community graphic details of a yeast infection I was struggling with (I thought I was only emailing my mother.... I was *not*)

I survived.

Thank you for your answer. I’ve been planning to respond to the questions, but I was stuck on this on because I didn’t understand it. Reading your response made me realize why. 🤣

It basically means have you ever dropped a bunch of F-bombs on your young children in a Walmart while you were still wearing your pajamas and wouldn’t it have been better if you were a little more concerned what other’s might think. 😁

Many things, less now

Hella high, 11?
Are you still holding back? Why?
Because I'm a weirdo
On the flip side, do you wish you had been more concerned what other’s might think?
I don't think that's possible
Did you ever do something (sex tape, nudes, etc.) that got out? How did that go?
I post here, not sure how I'd react if someone recognised me
^Or, are you concerned something sexy from your past might come back to haunt you today?
I'm afraid i'd be attacked, I'm real here. Most guys don't like it, not when there is no anonymity to hide behind.
^^Or, do you wish you had been more sexually carefree and you had something that might come back to haunt you? 🤣
Actually? Yes. At least I'd have been honest and maybe hurt less, or at least in a more honest way.

Haha, people, myself included, are far too petrified of messing up than to spend more than a moment's thought on how someone other than themselves messed up.
