The great irony is that I am a borderline asocial introvert whose idea of a perfect dinner guest is Ryan Moore
Would be a weird mix, as that people may not know that I have severe anxiety, and a condition called panic disorder, which may somewhat reveal why I am not the best at social interactions, and sometimes edit very simple things i have posted as I worry not to offend anyone accidentally.
people close to me find it fairly strange in the fact that I'm not in the slightest bit nervous watching a bet regardless of size or in the crowd at a race meeting. However i wouldnt be able to go a crowded restaurant for example..

It is weird to think you don't try to offend to be fair mate.... because some of your posts are right on the cusp
Or they used to be..... you are more reserved now haha

I would consider myself socially awkward but not necessarily anxious. It often depends on the type of social situation. If it's one on one with someone I find agreeable then I can chat quite happily for hours. Especially if it's a dueling stream of consciousness thing. But if it's more than one person then I lose track quite easily and begin to lose my footing. I used to think my withdrawal was a sign of anxiousness but I figured that I'm just not wired to (or have the inclination to) follow multiple processes in real time. I still withdraw and look for something better to do, but I don't get a complex about it any more.
Similarly, I used to worry about how my words could be construed, but as long as I am satisfied that I am engaging in good faith then I tend not to dwell on it. Obviously, I might be misunderstood in which case I prefer it if people who have a problem air their grievances to see if clarity leads to a resolution. If somebody disagrees with an opinion or observation then I am happy to challenge and defend so as to either test the validity of my perception or learn a more compelling nuance. And if somebody disagrees with me as a person then unless I can see an objectively harmful fault in my action, I just leave that person to torment themselves with their animosity.
Crowds at gigs, sporting events and so forth, I am totally OK with. I would probably prefer a quiet midweek meeting at Ludlow or some small indie gig, but I also like the sense of anonymity or even "oneness" that comes with a huge crowd. But a restaurant full of wankers competitively gorging on chicken nuggets, that's my idea of hell.

Can totally relate to what you're saying here, anxiety has been pretty crippling for me since I was very young (a long time ago now). Haven't been to a crowded stadium in many years because of this and social interaction is something I find very difficult. Even took me about 2 years to finally post more often on here.
Wish I could be as cool as you seem to be about your bets though, I can barely watch the races sometimes.
I have no issue with crowded restaurants, racecourses etc, i can talk in front of 3-400 people on stage with a microphone (and have to twice a year through work) and not get anxious or nervous at all, however if i place a bet which would be bigger than my norm i get so worked up, i have to watch it on my own. Even with the tipster competition, which cost no money, i could feel myself getting stressed.
i've often wondered why this might be, but now ive got used to it,
Hello - I am a new member on the forum in the last couple of weeks so quite fitting my first ever post is on this thread!
2 stupid questions........
1) what’s the difference between a juvenile and a novice hurdler?
2) I have seen talk of sky pirate being a third season novice. How does that work?
Thanks in advance for any responses - I am learning a lot from reading the forum so far
Welcome to the forum Mudlark.
1) A juvenile is a 3 year old (can be younger, but usually not the case in NH racing) at the start of the season, ending the season as a 4 year old. A novice hurdler is a horse that hasn't won over hurdles before the start of the season. Juveniles can run in open aged novice races and get an age (weight) allowance for this too.
2) Sky Pirate had not won over fences before this season, so as above with regards to hurdlers, he remained a novice, and remains one until the end of this current season.
