Wierd? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would dearly love to participate in many of the wonderful discussions taking place in The Books, but I feel too shy and self concious. Whenever I start writing a reply post, the familiar feeling of doubt stirs in me, pushing me back into the Quiz/Quote/Mayhem and Novices and Newcomers. I feel "weird." This is perhaps due to my youth and only having read LotR twice. Most of the people posting are older and more experienced with the world of LotR than I am, but I am always impressed by those my age who make excellent posts there. So, until I gain some more confidence, I'll go back to lurking...
