Hi Tika, I saw you were online and was going to say hi. I read some of your journal entries. I go to a lot of meetups here. Some groups are better than others, but I have one special group, outdoors, that I feel most comfortable with.I do a lot of the things you do ... run races, go to meetups, go out making it a point to talk to people to practice being more \"out there\". It always seems to make a difference with how I am feeling about myself at the time. If I am happy with myself, Just accomplished something or had a good day, then I am more confident . I still worry about what others think about me, but I tell myself that I am going to have fun regardless. And I find that being yourself, which sometimes means being different from the ones around you is okay. Because then you are someone who is fresh and different. And that is GOOD! Lately my motto is \"Dont try to fit in, let them fit in to you!\" Have FUN,
Nola
