A few years back, me and a friend were asked to play a club match in a local pub. Anyway when we turned up, we had to go upstairs into a seperate room that was clearly signed 'chess club upstairs'. But to enter, we had to pass a table where three foxy looking ladies were sat. But me and my friend were quite unsure about entering the chess club, incase we were looked at by these women as a pair of nerds. Is there anybody else who share these insecurities?
Best thing to learn in life is to not be ashamed of who you are. What other people may or may not think is completely irrelevant.
Those who judge others based on the things they like and enjoy typically have deep down insecurities that cause them to act in such a way.
Yes, i mean "a littile embarrasing" because {"Ladies/girls think your old fashioned and also some man/boys(who do not play chess) Think "Its old fashioned and only for old people(grandpa's) and they think it's boring and a waste of your time and "Life" (that's what "i used to think that also" when i never knew how "chess is so thriling and exciting" but 1 advantage people think ur smart (if atleast ur a top 3 in ur school or you are an intermediate or an advanced player)"} P.S good topic. . .!
