im confident there are some guys/gals here that took a bold step to approach some1 or do some terrifying thing and succeeded, but how did you brg urself to do it?
i was in NY over the weekend for my cousins graduation and i saw many of my cousins (newlyweds with babies) and was envious how good their lives seem. They got loving spouses, cute babies, great careers and generally very happy with their lives. i want that
but of course they had to take risks, take initiative and work hard to get there and i realize i really have to start changing my life.
Today when i stepped onto the bus to school, i saw an empty seat next to a very attractive girl id seen a few times before! Before i would never choose to sit by an attractive girl and instead sit next to some random dude because of anxiety but today i musta been on jet lag or somthng and sat by her.
Boy i was so nervous, and i noticed she was a lil nervous too. Could she possible be interested in me? she mainly looked outside and i sorta looked straight on and occasionally looked in her direction. I really really wanted to say somthing because opportunities for me to meet girls are so rare but i couldnt think of anything. Everyone is quiet on the bus.. seems like some1 talking to a stranger would disturb the peace.
but i dont know her! so who cares if she is weirded out by me?!?! at least i went for it
^^i wish i thought of that and just said "hi"^^
As we were gettin up for our stop, she turned to me and i looked at her face straight on (on accident) and was frozen by that gorgeous angel-scultped face and just froze. i quickly looked down and sorta smiled a bit.
Now she knows im a wuss.
so
to you brave ppl out there, any tips on how to overcome the anxiety? I think once i do it a few times, ill learn that its no big deal and then it'll be one baby step closer to being normal!
