pheromones and mood

[Pancho1188]

We're all self-conscious;

I'm just the first to admit it.

--- Kanye West


I wouldn't say I'm shy per se, but I'm very aware of

things going on around me and figure that every time something happens with people that it might be the

pheromones.

For example...

I walk to the bus stop. This guy is wearing this really nice suit. The guy

seriously could've been in a magazine, but he seemed to be just a normal guy as far as knowing he looked good in

that suit goes (aka didn't have a cocky air about him). I complimented his suit. Now, as soon as this happens, my

mind is already racing: "Did the pheromones make it easy for me to say that? Did it make me notice the suit because

I'm in a good mood to appreciate the beauty in the world and now I felt like speaking my appreciation for a nice

outfit?" Honestly, I don't go around complimenting strangers' outfits and I don't usually speak up at all unless

spoken to in the whole bus thing (except to say hello and thank the bus driver every trip).

Later, I walk in the

office and it's social hour. Did the -mones create a more talkative atmosphere? When I walked by, everyone was very

talkative, friendly, and nice. I even made a joke as I walked by and got big smiles from it. The cubemate in front

of me and another coworker were chatting it up for 20 minutes this morning right in front of me. Was it the -mones

that heightened this?

So you see, when I say I'm self-conscious, what I'm really trying to say is that I

can't 'forget' I'm wearing them because every time something high on social activity happens, I question whether

it's randomness, a good day, the -mones, or the fact that I'm a sexy b*tch (just kidding). Seriously, though, I

can't seem to shut it off because I'm so good at analyzing everything and noticing the details.

I

find it cool you wrote this because I'm always self conscious just like you about the mones!



Perhaps today while I was minding my own business at work when one of the guys I work

with walked into the Office and asked me if he could have a piece of candy? I said sure, that is why the basket is

there, help yourself.

Then two other people gather around the basket of candy and were

teasing me saying I was hiding the good candy and left the shitty ones out there for the rest! we were all laughing

next thing I know couple of more people stopped by and started to talk too!! even my Boss! I had 6 people (5 guys

and one girl) around my desk still talking about the candy after near 10 minutes just having a good time making

jokes and what have you.

Every since I started working there that was the most people I

had around me talking to me at the same time, I was the center of attention (I'm never the center of attention

since believe it or not I'm pretty shy when I hardly know people)that was very "different feeling" cool feeling I

felt like I finally was one of them... Not "the Brookie" like they usually call me. One of the guys who was talking

to me about the candy ordeal usually have such a sarcastic attitude & hardly ever says hello! but he surprise the

heck out of me today! he was so "friendly" and even called me Bren...

When they

all left I was like whoa! what was all that about? I wonder if it was the mones!? or was it the candy? hmmm

maybe tomorrow I might just add some good chocolates and no mones just to see what happens...*grin*

So you see,

when I say I'm self-conscious, what I'm really trying to say is that I can't 'forget' I'm wearing them because

every time something high on social activity happens, I question whether it's randomness, a good day, the -mones,

or the fact that I'm a sexy b*tch (just kidding). Seriously, though, I can't seem to shut it off because I'm so

good at analyzing everything and noticing the details.

What I find interesting is that people

respond to me the same way as before but just amplified. I forget about the -mones most of the time and only

remember in afterwards. People -always- like me and I've just thought it was because I have a friendly face and am

approachable but now I'm beginning to wonder. I have definitely seen people react to the -mones but mostly it is

like I'm having a good day with everyone. It wouldn't stand out if I weren't looking for it though (except for a

few hits). If I couldn't see the effect they have on my own mood, I'd be doubtful about the products. I haven't

been using the copulin products much though and I think that they will cause a reaction that I don't normally

get.

I did have one hit in particular that stands out. I stopped at a local butcher/grocery on my way home

from the gym. I had used AE/w and Edge Essentials that day but that was before sweating hard for and hour and

having a shower although there was probably some on my clothes. I started chatting with the butcher (not unusual

for me - I like to chat with people) but it went on for about 45min. I left when the phone rang but as I was

leaving he asked if I wanted to go for a drink another night. Talking that long with some random person that I meet

is pretty normal for me but it very rarely includes someone asking me out.
