I Think There Is a Difference Between Being Weird and Creepy
Being weird and making situations a bit awkward is fun. Being creepy is something I fear, but not so much with when I'm being weird (usually... ).
I feel there's so much I miss out on for not wanting to appear creepy. The only female friends I have (in real life) are because they initiated conversation or because of connections. I never talk to women, initiate conversations with ones I am not at all familiar with. I'm not straight either, bi, and I have been with women. Even if creepy isn't the right term, I fear they might think I'm initiating conversation with them because I'm attracted to them or want to do things with/to them. The fact that my face is covered in acne scars, my jaw is askew horizontally, and occasional active acne doesn't help with the fact that I feel it could be creepy if I did approach. Not that I think about approaching many, I think about this when I'm having thinking time and I know it's the reason I'll almost never approach women I am not familiar with unless maybe they are out of my age range to where I think they would assume I'm not attracted to them so it not being why I approached.
It also kind of happens in a way with guys when I tell them that I'm bi or pan, like I'll feel less comfortable for a while or longer depending on how familiar. Because I'll be thinking "what if they think I'm attracted to them or want to do things with/to them now?"
