No, not silly.

One of the best things I've discovered about dealing with anything that might make me a bit trepidacious, is to think on what is the worst possible thing that can result from my action ? And then really think it through to it's most ridiculous conclusions. I end up being amused and more likely to give it shot !

So what might happen if you message someone here ? They don't respond at all ? They post, telling everyone you're an asshole ? They tell you to fuck off ? They track you down somehow and hire a kill-for-hire guy ? What ? None of these are likely - right ?

Meanwhile remember - if you do nothing , the answer is always no. Go for it !

no.

Just be yourself. Making contact with each other is important.

Nervous might make more sense with respect to a first private message with a love interest. But that's not what I'm here for, and I carry on probably way too much, with zero anxiety.

On social media there's really very little at stake. It's a good environment to experiment with ideas.

Hunh?

Lead with the thumb thing. That'll break the ice.

Not if you message me
