Is it just me Whenever the teacher says "find a partner" or "find a group" or "talk to/discuss your answers with the people next to you" I kind of see my life flash before my eyes (okay, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration [just a bit]) and start silently panicking. Am I alone in this or do other people feel that way too? *I think it's important to note that I have not yet been diagnosed with a social anxiety disorder. Yet. The internet and several quizzes, however, suggest I do. Edit: The most recent instance of this was for a studio class I'm in (as opposed to a group project). We had to choose partners (which I think made it a little bit more awkward) but our grades are individual (not dependent on our p

Do you agree with this statement? "Boys think girls are like books. If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside" Do you agree or disagree with this statement? I'm also curious to see whether there is a difference in perceptions by gender, as the poll takes into account your gender. Edit: It seems that most of you guys are understanding the question in the context of relationships. Do you think this statement is limited to interest in potential relationships or can also be applied to common interactions? Also, I realize there's a need to clarify between being attractive and practicing good hygiene. I think the latter is mandatory, unless you are otherwise incapable of doing so (if you're able to rea

Most bizarre things your parents have done? Share your experiences of the strangest thing your parents have done. Ex: My mom took one of my friend's plushies (it was an Emolga [Pokemon] plushie). She then tried hiding it by stuffing it down the back of one of my other friend's pants (he was wearing basketball shorts) and then covering it with the back of his shirt (all the time he's just standing there, confused). It was also painfully obvious to everyone who was watching this take place that the plushie was obviously in my friend's shorts (bear in mind, this is while he's wearing the shorts). Shortly after, my mom removed the plushie and returned it to it's original owner, but not without much awkwardness and facepalms. -__-" tldr: Pa

Any way to access Maple outside the Gms region? Hey guys, I'm currently out of the US and won't returning for a while, and was wondering if there was any way to run MS (GMS) from outside the region. I've heard that some people use [b]Hotspot Shield[/b], but I've also heard that it was also possible to get autobanned and that BlackCiph3r automatically blocks those IP addresses. Last year, I was able to use AOL Desktop 9.7 to run Maple from the website, but now, for some reason unknown, the website won't fully load when I use both AOL Desktop 9.7 and 10.1 (it loads fine in Chrome, but the game is blocked by the regional firewall). If it helps any, I'm using Win 8 on a 64-bit laptop. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Edit: I really hope th

Why do guys/girls think Why do guys think that if you say that you're friends that they're automatically friendzoned? People say stuff like "Ohh, you just got friendzoned!" like it's a terrible thing. Personally, I wouldn't date (or give my phone number to) a random guy I didn't know no matter how attractive he was. I'd probably be kind of really creeped out and say something like, "Who the heck are you?" For me, I'd only consider the guys who are already my friends for several years, that I know are trustworthy and have solid character. If you're a random dude (total stranger that I have never talked to or seen before, or has never talked to me or seen me before), your application automatically goes into the reject pile

How protective are you? More specifically, how protective are you of those you care about? For example, I think I would be someone who is pretty protective of my younger sisters. My dad is at work most of the time, and my older brother doesn't really care about us, so if some guy tried to mess with/ hurt them, I would grab my brother's katanas and mess them up (well, maybe not literally, but I would at least let them know that it meant no funny business, or they'd be dealing with the business end of two katanas). So, how protective are you of others (this can include wife/husband, bf/gf, younger siblings, friends, etc), and what would you do if someone tried to hurt them?

A few questions about G.I.R.L.s I know there are a lot of guys out there who play girl characters, but is it just me, or do other guys have a really hard time telling that those G.I.R.L.s aren't real girls? I mean (to me at least) it seems pretty obvious when one of them tries too hard to sound feminine (they just end up sounding like really non-straight guys). Also, some G.I.R.L.s say that they play girl characters "because they'd rather stare at a girl than a guy." Does that just mean they're really lonely and think of themselves as "forever alone?" Also, can guys tell if a girl is playing on a guy character? For instance, I have a few guy characters, and some really obvious G.I.R.L. tried gold digging off my aran, but

Im at school Dlt So, where I am, it's 6:00 in the morning and I'm at school. Since most of the buildings are closed, I'm sitting outside a dining hall boring my brains out and freezing my butt off (jk, it's not that cold). Class doesn't start for another hour, so I don't really have anything to do. So, if any of you are alive at this hour, what would you do if you were in my shoes? BTW my laptop battery lasts for about another 2 hours 47 minutes. >_< Edit: In the title, at the end it's supposed to be D:< not Dlt (facepalm)

Sharing name and age with people on Maple In general, do you guys feel comfortable with sharing your name/age/where you live and other personal information with people in your guild/bl/people you randomly meet online/etc? Personally, I don't because I'm a girl and there probably are a few shady people out there and on Maple and most of the people that ask for my info are guys. What about you guys? I included a poll (and there are 4 options, the first two are if you are a guy, the second two are if you are a girl)

Fashion corner, Androids, etc Has anyone noticed that the fashion corner thing hasn't been updated in like forever? I tried to look up what hairstyles I could get when I got one of those Logout event free VIP haircut coupons, but I'm not sure which ones you get. Do the mods update it, or can people add to it? Aside from that, I have a quandary. I've been trying to sell some androids in for a while (I also have most of the heart recipes). One thing I noticed, though, was that most of the characters that had male androids and deluxe male androids were guys. A lot of people owned deluxe or regular female androids, and most of the girl characters owned deluxe female androids. Do people in general prefer androids of the same gender as them or ar
