sometimes i find i don’t get as many opportunities as my peers but that’s mostly because i’m so scared of reaching out to people and putting myself out there. REACHING OUT IS GOOD! TAKE UP SPACE! MAKE URSELF KNOWN!
i have a fear of reaching out or making plans because i am afraid of bothering people (insane i know) and being rejected :') however i typically vocalize this explicitly to people i care about so they don't feel like i hate them and i am trying hard to practice initiating stuff (exposure therapy). the times i have initiated plans or organized a function have gone rly well though so...i dont know. its hard for me to get over. i think most people are also just thinking about themselves....as the previous reply said. i want to be an initiator really bad.
sound silly but i realise that my comfort zone is so small when i got so anxious about getting a library membership.
talking to a stranger and telling them what i need and wants make me so vulnerable and i don't know why. and i'm not gonna beat myself over this. i succeed in getting that membership after all and i'm proud of myself.
so yeah .... i guess sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is about doing the small little things that scares you.
see you in the library ✌🏻
If your reservations are only rooted in abstract anxiety/self-doubt, and not concrete reason why it wouldn’t be good for you, DO IT!!! If someone thinks you’d be good for an opportunity, believe them
what is happening to people? is everybody taking dumb bitch juice? why is chatgpt such a big thing in peoples lives right now? what happened to curiosity, eagerness to learn and the joy of figuring out the answers for youself? help!!!!!
