My life lately
Shyness: I feel I have come a long way in interacting withacquaitances I see here and there as I go about my day. Onein particular that so intimidated me that I would walk to the nextbus stop to avoid her. Now when I see her I say hi and engage insmall talk even though the urge to run away is still there and I noticeit in my conciencness.How did I accomplish this, though realizations!! I ask myself, is there really anything to be afraid of? Are most people going to judge you severely if they notice symptoms ofshyness? How do others feel when you snub them becauseyou are feeling shy? Are these the results you want for your life? Things are much better with my shyness even though there is always moreto be done to make my life better and work better as well. Everything else is fine, working on de cluttering my house, I have put my plansof finding more work on hold as I tackle this job!!! with peace and friendship to all!!!

That\'s all it takes. One day at a time. You should be proud of yourself to come this far. Those are good questions to ask yourself. The mind can play nasty tricks on someone. But doing what you do, you should have no problem. Take care ;)
I know about shyness and avoiding people. It is really hard sometimes to face people, but with alittle courage and working at it you can do it and you have. Congratulations on the progress you are making Ida. I am gradually learning to interact more naturally with people, although there are some people that still indimadate me. There are people I really want to talk to, but am still to shy to say anything but \"Hi\". Got to keep trying!:0)
That\'s wonderful progress! I\'m so happy for you that you\'re taking such big steps with dealing with the shyness. You\'ve done it with such courage, and such supportive realisations too.
Keep up that strength, it\'s wonderful to see and very inspiring :)
*hugs* xx
