journal card #2: What would you do if you weren't afraid?
Journal card double header: What would you do if you weren't afraid?
If I weren't afraid, one part of me thinks I would be more agressive in business
and make more $$ - another part says I would be open to relationships and hopefully
start a life. So there's my thoughts!! :)

I would get social again..... I have been pretty reclusive for a very long time now..... I really struggle with socializing ..... Again this started when I was caring for my folks.... My mom had Alzheimer's and for quite a long time I didn't go out certainly not socially and seldom for anything else .... Years really and then it became that I didn't want to go out
I've never gotten pass that..... I don't think I've ever gotten past the sort of high depression that went along with it.... I don't really know how to..... I suppose I would just have to push myself..... I can't afford therapy..... That could help
Have you ever thought of meeting someone online sweetie.... Maybe some coffee dates and see where it may lead to??
thanks Jan, that's a good idea. I have to think about something. I don't know why I suddenly feel depressed - breathless kind of. My Doctor asked me to lose 30 pounds. I will focus on that.
I am sorry that such a kind caring gesture as in helping your folks out while caring for them instigated a shyness.
I hope we both have a good day and week.
I, too, would get out and be with other people. I would like to go to church, but I fear going to new places and I'm also afraid to meet people because I don't make small talk very well, like I did when I was in my teens and twenties.
Dangerous question for me. I am the queen of the double dare games. I have been accused of not having enough sense to know when I *should* be afraid. Let's see. . . I still haven't bought my river boat. I haven't been to the top of the windmill outside my window and, girl howdy, it needs to meet with an oil can. On a windy day, it squeals like an office worker in a machine shop. I still haven't tamed a cobra.
When I can conquer my fears, I sit and do nothing for a spell.
Be social? ? ? Who needs friends with all *my* bravado?
