Gah.
Gah. I hate it when people cry "TMI TMI!"

I've spent years suffering from social anxiety because I'm scared of
reaching that limit. I've done so many many times.

People often wish they had my parents because they were so open about what was talked about... but it means I have *NO* skills for:
1. other people's parents 2. polite company 3. job interviews 4. Work
etc

I can think of so many

1. Commenting on the contrast between a friend's sexy voice and her
somewhat unsexy nature was greeted with "that's horrible!" - it seems saying what people are thinking is taboo.

2. Commenting that my mother was scared that my brother was going to get shagged a date by a guy when I pointed out he probably wanted to get a shag. it seems mentioning that people probably want sex on a date is taboo.

3. Any blob complaints. I can't say I'm suffering about flow, complain about clots, accidents, anything. For fuck's sake, it's a natural process - why the taboo?

4. Sex is funny. It isn't gross. People need to lighten up. The sloshy noise my furry axewound makes during sex makes me want to crack up.

5. Making the universal sign language for cunnilingus and joking about it with my mother and brother was apparently "too much" for my friend. Such a delicate little soul for a porn and computer game addict.

6. Poo, wee, pus and other bodily fluids aren't gross. They're interesting, and usually funny. I can spend hours digging out stuff from people's toenails, belly buttons, ears or blocked pores... (Although you're free to have that one - I'm just strange there)

So conclusion:
If you weren't such a socially conservative prude, TMI is never an issue.
