Then you grow up and find out everyone was plagued by the same doubts as you :)

It helps me to feel not so alone and will encourage me to be more forward with initiating contact with other people. I hope that I’ll get to see you again at the next Non-Con (or maybe at Type A!).

And I can totally relate to your anxiety, as I suffer from the same thing. Although I still felt like the NonCon-ers we way cooler than me, they made all of us feel like WE were the cool ones. Can’t wait to see you next year, and at Type A! We’ll have to have dinner :)

Well done!!! I hope it proves to be very valuable to you, personally!

Normally I get pretty anxious about standing up in front of people, but not at the noncon. As you point out Melinda, “yes it is a community and sometimes even a family.”

Great post.
