Great to hear all went well at TMs :)

How many people were there, to hear your ice breaker?
Did you stay around and chat to people after?
Was it a positive meeting people experience?

About 15 people came to toastmasters. In the meeting you have a fifteen minute break to get drinks and talk to other people. During that time about ten people came and said that my speech was really funny and that they enjoyed it. Which while I did appreciate the kind words I felt a bit uncomfortable with compliments. I feel more at home with the insults. Anyway it was a positive meeting experience. I think I could have done better with the speech though. But then again I didn't take into account the laughing. Even though when i think about it is pretty amoosing.

LOL - So most of the people there, chatted to you? That is awesome. That must have been a very different experience to chat like that, face to face. That is positive that you were in that situation - or do you really prefer belittlement? I doubt it. I also doubt you went to TMs to get insults - or did you?

If you felt uncomfortable, maybe your next speech should be about ruffling peoples feathers and putting them in an uncomfortable comfort zone. I am sure there is someone floating around here, that can help?

Maybe you are a comic in the making Reepy ;)

No. In toastmasters they don't insult you. They don't say 'That speech was awful reepbot. You are a blah blah blah.' instead they say. 'I really like when you did x, y, z. For future speeches you may want to improve on e, f,g.'

Yeah, most people chat to me in there. They are very friendly. It is a different experience chatting face to face. More complex I feel. Though I much prefer the communication of the written word.

I think i sometimes enjoy or feel i deserve belittlment. Not for any particular reason. It just makes me feel good. Don't know why. I'm no psychologist. I think the point is though is that i don't like people complimenting me.

I don't think i'm a comic in the making. Sometimes I like to write things that make me laugh. But that doesn't mean others will though.

Unless there is a hidden nasty side to you I think it is safe to say you do not deserve belittlment. I will refrain from complimenting you at this point, but I do hope one day you do realise you are worthy of the compliments.

I should say 'And now over to @Mooseface' and the camera will cut to mooseface in her part of the studio totally unprepared eating an avocado.

Mooseface would hopefully have enough of her wits about her to calmly say 'we apologise for this error in programming, this was an unscheduled cross. Now I return you back to central Anchor and we will be with you, as scheduled, later in the evening'. And run (calmly exit) off camera to finish the avocado. Which would probably be with lemon, salt and pepper and possibly a dash of tabasco. And possibly on toast. But not necessarily. It's also good straight. Straight from the avocado shell.
