I didn't really get full on into gaming(dnd style) until I had sorta broken outta my shell. Before that was computer, and that was pretty much my life for a while.
As far as comfort level, I do understand that. Pretty much the only reason I went to Memphis to game back in the day was because Andy C was going. Eventually we got another friend going up there occasionally, and I kinda started enjoying most of the guy's company for the most part. But still, any interaction with them was left mostly on a restricted basis.
But pretty much, the only reason I went was because it was with Andy. The only reason I kept going is because he went too. There were a few times I went by myself, but that was because he wasn't able to go and we had an ongoing campaign. If he had just stopped going, I would have completely stopped as well.
And no, I don't think you really portray yourself as a gamer, but I don't think that's a bad thing :)
