    You underestimate my ability to mask. It’s literally been automatic for me as long as I can remember. Find the person I like most within 5 minutes, and immediately cling to their style of humor and behavior. Then I stand in the circle and don’t speak unless spoken to. Then everyone just assumes I’m a giant teddy bear and don’t mind my company.

      That’s what I did when I moved where I am now. Worked within a couple of weeks. A few weeks later my drunken bombastic personality came out one night and we’ve all been friends ever since.
