March Challenge

[LazyHermitCrab]

I challenge everyone to go out of their comfort zone (a bit) by accepting invitations from people during the month of March (be safe about it). I thought about this because I've been trying to make friends myself by doing things I want to do and most of them seemed to be busy aka we're not close friends. I got invited to two things this month. One was this makeup party to get me to buy stuff. I said no but I should have gone and just not bought anything and see if anything cool would happen. I was also invited to play a card game but I said no because they were all members of the opposite sex except one maybe the same as me, I didn't know how to play the game, and there were too many people going. In March I'm planning to accept even a dumb invitation to see what will happen. Try this too and lets talk about our results here. If you don't get any invitations talk about something that you tried when SA usually completely holds you back

I usually decline going out with my friend. Mainly because it ends up being a large gathering of people. I'm always the one standing around looking like an idiot with no one to talk too. I got invited to another event and I said yes.

Same here even after drinking someone comments on how quiet I am. I'm glad you were able to say yes to an event though. There's always a chance of meeting a new friend you can hang out with one on one or whatever the goal is.

... What invitations?

At the campus counselor's suggestion, I reached out to two of our instructors for guidance in my field. They both ignored my e-mails, even the one I'd been personally introduced to and who told me I was welcome to contact her via e-mail. I was shaking and sweating a little in the counselor's office, felt better while we were talking, and then had to spend an hour de-stressing afterwards.

Left my comfort zone, got pretty much what I expected. *shrug*

That's okay keep trying i'm proud of you! it's kind of hard to deal with people in the "professional field" a lot. I've been doing all these interviews and getting rejected constantly so it's eh. Maybe you can try meetup.com? You can look up people that are interested in your field too.

I learned how to push out of my comfort zone and I know what I'm comfortable with now. So usually when someone requests something I'm pretty open to try it out.

At least your professor spoke to you. Mines just gave me the index finger. Then walked past me like I was a complete stranger.

The problem with my friend's friends is that they're very intrusive. They're demanding to known everything about me about right there and right now. And even thought I may not like them the insist we're automatically friends.

I can't stand when someone says "you're so quiet." It makes me feel like I'm under a microscope. How do you deal with the comments?

I'm going to make it my goal to get out of the comfort zone. Well at least one step at a time.
