Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I understand social anxiety and such. Public speaking literally gives me the sweats, for instance. I've still had to lead meetings and give presentations.
I assume this anxiety is common and the root of a lot of the goofy shit you see where you're supposed to name your favorite flavor of jello or sportsball team or whatever. Of course, some of it is corporate NPCs being zombies.
The forced introduction may be helping the lead personalize you so that they can more effectively communicate. I.e. they're shitting themselves from stress and adrenaline at having to lead this stupid meeting and getting an idea of who you are will calm them down.
