    Well, what is it?? What's something about you that you find embarrassing - but not TOO bad. For me, I can't keep my left and right straight. I know what left and right are, but if I'm driving and someone says "turn left" I really struggle and have to think about which way that is.

    So what's your embarrassing little thing?

    I have Asperger's. I'm more likely to have people tell me I should be embarrassed about something while I'm wondering why.

    I am completely geographically challenged. I can barely keep straight which states are which in my own country let alone where things are in the big wide world.

    I cannot cook. I could burn water if given the chance! It's a good thing my kids don't take after me in the cooking department or we'd all starve to death! LOL I am learning and getting better, but my skill set is still pretty basic - don't expect beef bourguignon anytime soon out of my kitchen!

    I am an unorganized mess. I try and try to make sense of everything but in all honestly I just have trouble letting go of things.

    I'm a geographical mess! If I'm not driving somewhere myself and really paying attention, then I forget exactly where it is I went and have to use my GPS to get back there. I also can't tell you what city is in what state or country, or if it's a country or not. :giggle

    I'm another one who is geographically challenged. I can travel a route I'm really familiar with and then all of a sudden I can't remember which turns to take. I'm really bad with knowing where is N/S/E/W. I'm used to being this way and if I get lost I just backtrack and find my way eventually.

    I work for an international engineering company and am subconsciously convinced that every country in the pacific is in Africa, which it's not! African Cambodia? African Samoa? Nope!

    i am an introvert, but when in a group I attempt to be extraverted, and end up droning on about nothing important and boring everyone.

    I am odd with people. I can be the nicest person, helpful, friendly, and personable online and via email (like for work). If I meet you, in person, you would probably get a "Hi," and then I would proceed to run away and worry. I am ok with people I know, or gradually getting to know in person. The online/email friends I make, I get super flustered around, and I become a bit peculiar. I always like people much more than they like me, and I think I scare myself. It's hard making and keeping friends as an adult sometimes. So, yep, I'm odd with people.

    This has happened, and I've wanted to crawl under a rock.

    - i can't drive. Never bothered to learn and now I'm stuck with trains and bus. I *hide* my shame saying that It's more eco-friendly to take the bus than to drive a car ^__^

    - I read that many people have difficult with geography. I know where most of the countries are in the world, but I never remember where the italian cities are ^__^ And Italy is not so big... ^__^

    Oh Jenn we can be friends. This is so totally me as well. So we'd understand when we met in person and understand when the other gets flustered.

    I could have said most of these -- so I'm really embarrassed. I got my first real cell phone (more than pay as you go) and went straight to the Iphone 6. But I forgot to figure out GPS before I flew to North Carolina so I started out the trip lost.

    By the way for us geographically challenged -- why does the GPS tell you to turn north (or whatever) If I knew where north was...

    I can stay really quiet for long periods of time. It's unnerving to some people. Some people take offense that I'm not talking up a storm. You know the awkward silence? That's me.

    I also get so embarrassed when I say the wrong word. I know the right word, but end up tripping over it & saying the wrong one. That bugs me like you wouldn't believe.
