Ebb and Flow

So, my friend was right. I have been thinking of my conversational skills overall for some time now. I am a unique case: I would consider myself to be gregarious, but also shy. It takes me a while to feel comfortable around a person before I can open up to them. But, their first impression of me then was misleading overall.

I should play more music. It's universal, and I need to work on my bass clef reading in general. Maybe then I can talk through notes instead of my words. Conjure my thoughts in an altered form.

Conversations with me can sometimes abruptly end. What I feel is not an awkward silence actually is one for the other person(s) involved.

There is safety in numbers though. I see myself as the bassist that I am. I might not be at the forefront of the limelight, but I am missed when I am not there.
