Hello Armand,
I'm sorry, I tend to be a little socially anxious. I thought it was more polite to introduce myself, rather than lurk.
Gosh, I'm not even sure what I want you to call me. Maybe M will do for now.
Forgive my awkwardness!
Salut, friendly M Anon!
Welcome back. Tsk, don't be silly, there's nothing to forgive. You're not being awkward at all. You're having a conversation and for that you're always welcome!
Hmm... I have to play a guessing game now - are you the Anon that asked me This Question?
Let's see, we need a name for you if you're not going to indicate yourself with an emoji.
You know what I think of when I think of social anxiety? Here, let me show you this picture:

Look at it - isn't it magnificent? The wonders of Pintrest, eh?
This surrealist ceramic work is made by Belgian mixed media artist, Greet Desal and is entitled "Sleeper's Peace"
This particular piece is a conversation on human fragility, vulnerability, and protection.
This is all of us in the beginning. Afraid to come out of our shells for fear of what is outside.
What's outside is strange. What's outside is marvellous. Some of it will hurt you, some of it will make your heart sing.
All of it will make you bleed one way or another.
I think I dub thee, M Seashell Anon - And I invite you to come back as often as you want to. Chat with me, about anything, everything! Don't be shy. You are welcome here and greatly respected. It's a pleasure to read from you, always.
If you won't come out of your little shell all the way, then make room for me, I'll climb inside and snuggle beside you.
