and that same person thinks they are totally approachable and don't get why anyone would be intimidated speaking to them?

yes

Yes... allll of the time. There are so many bloggers and designers I'm terrified to speak to

I don't know what made me think about this, but its so funny to me how the whole thing works not just on SL but here in Plurk

I keep to myself, I'm just quiet for the most part so I don't think I'm unapproachable but apparently people think so lol

and there are a ton of people in SL that I have never personally spoken to because of the intimidation factor

For me a lot of the time it's a case of thinking "that big designer from x...oh we'd have nothing in common, she/he is all popular and

talented" I kinda forget I make stuff too

definitely lol, I've been blogging almost 3 yrs now and I don't think that will ever go away. For both designers and popular bloggers

I've been designing about 4. But my store stayed quite small and my new one probably will too.

Then I go to the big, popular stores and if the designers are there I want to run away

lol i'm almost annoyed at myself for having the reaction

but at the same time, I can't help it
