"so
ordered socks online
they arrived a while ago
i am now wearing one of the pairs of socks
they are nice
unfortunately i have the problem that i don't have pants right now
and if i wear them with shorts they'll be super visible
they are simultaneously the practical and feminine option
but i am scared of doing so. ><"
[29/07/2016 8:00:04 AM] Taveena: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO
[29/07/2016 8:00:12 AM] Taveena: that was
[29/07/2016 8:00:23 AM] Taveena: probably unnecessary and unhelpful caps
[29/07/2016 8:00:27 AM] Erin: hrm.
[29/07/2016 8:00:34 AM] Taveena: i guess
[29/07/2016 8:00:36 AM] Taveena: take off socks
[29/07/2016 8:00:38 AM] Taveena: put on shorts
[29/07/2016 8:00:39 AM] Taveena: be cold
[29/07/2016 8:02:13 AM] Erin: well.
[29/07/2016 8:02:15 AM] Erin: honestly
[29/07/2016 8:02:22 AM] Erin: I'd say wear the shorts and the socks
[29/07/2016 8:02:27 AM] Erin: >>
[29/07/2016 8:02:32 AM] Taveena: that is the logical solution
[29/07/2016 8:02:33 AM] Taveena: i'm just
[29/07/2016 8:02:35 AM] Taveena: scared.
[29/07/2016 8:03:01 AM] Erin: if it gets uncomfortable, then take the socks off I guess. I think that it's worth a shot though.
[29/07/2016 8:04:24 AM] Erin: >>
[29/07/2016 8:06:16 AM] Taveena: i just
[29/07/2016 8:06:17 AM] Taveena: i don't know
[29/07/2016 8:06:18 AM] Taveena: what to do
[29/07/2016 8:06:22 AM] Taveena: if someone mentions it
[29/07/2016 8:07:19 AM] Erin: "I got these socks a bit ago and felt like wearing them today. They're nice, right?"
[29/07/2016 8:07:55 AM] Taveena: i do not have the self esteem to say that though
[29/07/2016 8:08:25 AM] Erin: maybe practice it? That's what I do when I'm doing something like that. I rehearse the line for a while so I don't choke up
[29/07/2016 8:08:28 AM] Erin: >>
[29/07/2016 8:08:36 AM] Taveena: it's not about
[29/07/2016 8:08:40 AM] Taveena: stumbling over my words, so much
[29/07/2016 8:08:43 AM] Taveena: as not wanting to lie.
[29/07/2016 8:09:10 AM] Taveena: to pretend i know something when i don't
[29/07/2016 8:09:16 AM] Erin: it... would it be a lie, though? You got them, they are nice
[29/07/2016 8:09:21 AM] Erin: and felt like wearing them?
[29/07/2016 8:09:26 AM] Taveena: i don't know that they're nice
[29/07/2016 8:09:27 AM] Taveena: is the issue
[29/07/2016 8:09:43 AM] Erin: ah.
[29/07/2016 8:10:25 AM] Erin: Well, I bet they look nice ^^
[29/07/2016 8:10:38 AM] Taveena: i mean
[29/07/2016 8:10:56 AM] Taveena: i like them
but saying that they're nice, like it's an objective fact
[29/07/2016 8:10:57 AM] Taveena: feels
[29/07/2016 8:10:58 AM] Taveena: wrong
[29/07/2016 8:11:14 AM] Erin: Could say "I like them." then
[29/07/2016 8:11:25 AM] Erin: since really, that's what matters, right?
[29/07/2016 8:11:25 AM] Taveena: And now that sounds defensive
[29/07/2016 8:11:28 AM] Erin: oh
[29/07/2016 8:11:36 AM] Erin: could just ask their thoughts?
[29/07/2016 8:11:44 AM] Taveena: and now it sounds like i'm TRYING to get their attention
[29/07/2016 8:11:59 AM] Erin: well, this is presumably for the scenario that someone comments on it
[29/07/2016 8:12:05 AM] Erin: that their attention has been gotten
[29/07/2016 8:12:13 AM] Erin: (also, that's not a bad thing, necessarily, I think)
[29/07/2016 8:12:17 AM] Taveena: i don't want their thoughts
[29/07/2016 8:12:18 AM] Taveena: ><
[29/07/2016 8:12:20 AM] Erin: oh.
[29/07/2016 8:12:32 AM] Erin: I think this is more complicated than I'm thinking it is ><
[29/07/2016 8:12:33 AM] Erin: sorry
[29/07/2016 8:12:41 AM] Taveena: i want it to be unnoticed and normal
[29/07/2016 8:12:54 AM] Erin: ... ah. Right. That makes sense.
[29/07/2016 8:13:08 AM] Erin: hrm.
[29/07/2016 8:13:20 AM] Erin: maybe scrunch them down to your ankles?
[29/07/2016 8:14:00 AM] Taveena: then i get cold
[29/07/2016 8:14:11 AM] Erin: hmm.
[29/07/2016 8:18:02 AM] Erin: I
[29/07/2016 8:18:05 AM] Erin: am not sure what to suggest
[29/07/2016 8:18:08 AM] Erin: sorry
[29/07/2016 8:18:20 AM] Taveena: I am really good at finding reasons suggestions won't work!
