And about the pictures I used. The first one is a picture of St Kilda's beach and the second one is called Elwood beach? I'm not completely sure though.
But I think that's what they're called.
I thought it was St Kilda. That's in Melbourne, not Sydney lol (I think you said they were Sydney beaches anyway).
There are a lot of beaches there. Some are quite nice, I went with my ex to one near there, and also Lankan girl.
The one with my ex was better, it's got this long pile of rocks about 500 metres out in to the ocean.
Oh and yeah, I live close to those, sort of. About 2.5 hour drive, but we have a little house up there very close to them as well.

I'm kind of similar in the way that I worry people think I don't like them. Definitely not exactly the same as you. For me I think I'm so nervous about everything, I think so much into what I'm going to say, that the whole thing is just stressful. If someone tries to talk to me, I can't relax, even though I'm trying to look like I'm relaxed. The best I can do is like... force out a casual voice, and obviously there are microexpressions and stuff showing how nervous I really am, and they pick up on that and think I'm really intense or something. Just like... the opposite of someone you can relax around. Of course I have no idea if that's really the impression I give off. It's possible no one thinks anything of me, and that's how most conversations go, and the reason I can never hold a conversation longer than a few minutes is something else.
Hehe.
Yeah dw about that. It's how I was too. Just keep pretending to be confident and most importantly, adopt a confident posture.
Look up what a confident posture is like. Although it's kind of obvious, but there are some things which aren't. And you have to practice it.
Just keep doing what you're doing, along with the posture. "Fake it 'til you make it" works.
You won't really notice it either, until you look back one day.
Same as practicing anything else.

Yeah it totally is these days. Maybe a poor choice of words, but I wouldn't say the U.S is less up in your business. You've got the TSA and the NSA (someone there is totally reading this post right now lol). Of course our governments are participating in the NSA stuff too.
But I mean New York banned e-cigs and large soft drinks....
It's kinda the same here. Some states are way more nanny-ish than others.
If you move to somewhere like Nimbin, the cops don't even bother going in to the town. Everybody smokes weed, sells weed, grows weed.... they have a yearly festival called Mardi Grass (goddamn stoners haha) and the cops just sit outside of the town to catch people taking weed/seeds/other drugs etc. with them.
And last month, as I mentioned a while ago, we had MASSIVE protests against the current government. Over 100,000 people, which for a population of around 22 million is quite good, relatively.
So everyone's not so cool with that nanny state bullshit and taking away our rights.
I have faith we will get better, we've got several 3rd parties with seats in the senate. The push for third parties is so strong that the current government urged people to not vote third party because it "just muddles things up" or something to that effect. What a desperate, pathetic last breath lol
