English:

The last week I had been at an international youth congress where Esperanto
is spoken. I feel much less shy than outside the congress. I know a pretty
lot of people there, and I feel being accepted. On that congress I tend to
make less difference between men and women. I have met 2 Bulgarian women
there, but with them I spoke English because they were Esperanto-beginners.
I helped them with using the Internet and with the Esperanto grammar. I know
it is strange, but I find two women less threatening than one woman. One of
them is pretty attractive, although I think that she is too young for me
(she is 18 years old). Although less shy, I don't tend to show a woman that
I have feelings for her, because I still shame for it. I wouldn't know how
she would react to it. So, I just don't show them. At the end of the
congress week we took some photographs from each other, and we exchanged
addresses. I think they like me, but I am still not sure. We often greet
each other.

I wish I were less shy and feel more accepted outside the congress... :-(

Esperanto:

La lasta semajno mi estis che internacia junulara kongreso, kie oni parolas
Esperante. Mi sentas min multe malpli singhena ol ekster la kongreso. Mi
konas sufiche multajn homojn tie, kaj mi sentas min akceptata. Che tiu
kongreso mi faras malpli da diferenco inter viroj kaj virinoj. Mi renkontus
2 bulgarajn virinojn tie, sed mi parolis angle kun ili, char ili estis
komencantoj. Mi helpis ilin uzi Internet kaj pri la Esperanta gramatiko. Mi
opinias, ke estas strange, sed mi trovas du virinojn malpli minacaj ol unu.
Unu el ili estas sufiche alloga, kvankam mi pensas ke she tro juna por mi
(shi estas 18-jara). Kvankam malpli singhena, mi ne montras al virino, ke mi
havas enamighajn sentojn relate al shi, char mi chiam hontas pro tio. Mi ne
scius, kiel shi reagus al tio. Do, mi simple ne montras ilin. Che la fino de
la kongresa semajno, ni iomete fotis unu la aliajn, kaj ni intershanghas
adresojn. Mi pensas, ke ili shatas min.

Mi nur dezirus ke mi estus malpli singhena kaj sentus pli akceptata ekster
la kongreso :-(

Hans Kamp.
