Thanks to all the entries for the Cringe question... there were quite a few entries, but most were a slightly off topic! Anyway, no matter... it was still fun to read the replies! Also, apologies for the late posting of this edition of the Basic Income Question... no excuses, just falling behind!

Anyway, this week... I was thinking about how different people react in new situations... and how everyone has their "favourite" place in the room. Some people like to have a wall at their back... some people like to be in the middle of everything... others are completely oblivious to how they position themselves! Anyway, a quite deceptively simple question for this wekk...

My Question

1. When you enter a room (empty or full of people...), what is your "favourite" place in the room? The place that you feel most comfortable in?

My sample answer

The Corner! Despite the fact that I'm a musician, and as such... on stage, I'm front and centre in the middle of the "room"... my natural inclination is to be sitting (if possible, on the floor... I'm happy with that!) in the corner of a room. I hate to be noticed... and often, I dislike being drawn into chit-chat conversations. I like to be in the quiet corner with a couple of close friends, just talking quietly amongst ourselves... or better still, in the corner with a comic, book or a computer game... not talking to anyone! I guess it comes across un-friendly at times... but especially before a concert, I just like to have my own space!

That said, if the need arises... I can still come to the centre of the room, to talk and socialise and do all of that stuff. Even give a speech or something like that if necessary... after all, that is the focus of my training and profession! So, it isn't difficult... just not my preference!

Rules

1. Upvote is not required, but appreciated!
2. Resteem is NOT necessary!
3. In the comments, answer as best as you can the questions that are posed in the "My Questions"!
4. I have added a small Steem-Bounty to the post, so that everyone who replies with a valid entry will get something back. If I give your post a small upvote, it is valid (also, subscribe to @dustsweeper for maximum benefit!).
5. I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in liquid SBD/STEEM. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is by random generator after a shortlisting of quality comments!
6. PLEASE PLEASE Don’t upvote your OWN comment. I can’t stop you doing it, but it seems to mess up the distribution of the Bounty for everyone else. If you upvote your own comment, I will consider it an invalid entry when doing the draw.

Steem Basic Income

One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a author starting out on your fresh new Steemit account, Steemit can be a daunting and lonely place to be. OFten, it can feel like you are posting into an abyss with no one listening and with no ability to grow out of the situation. A share of Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but over time cumulative support to your account to help grow you out of your initial wilderness!

With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people). OF course, this is not simply an altruistic move, as the sponsor of a Steem Basic Income share also gets a share, so it is a great way to help others whilst helping yourself!

Last week's winners

The last post paid out 0.21 SBD and 1.236 STEEM in liquid earnings. So, that would make 3 shares.

The winners by random draw are:
