I thought it would be good thread to start. It doesn't have to be anything major, just whatever you are proud of doing, even though you were uncomfortable. I think it's important to take action to fight our fears, even if they are baby steps :)

And of course I'll start :)

Today I took a trip to the grocery store, and made sure to smile at whoever I made eye contact with. So that was two people...lol...hey it's a start! And they both smiled back.

Victory!

Walked, limped, through the mall, pharmacist, back through the mall, cursed for parking so far away. The person over by the wall probably heard me. Yeah, that's a victory.

I didn't get upset or shirk away from the woman who sat next to me on the bus today, when I usually either get up quickly and find somewhere to sit alone or sit there with nervous ticks until they get up.

To try to raise my low self-esteem and body image I went walking around town and gave myself 1 point for every guy I looked better than. Surprisingly, I got a lot of points!
(I guess everyone around me is just hideously ugly)

Today I have decided to start living life finally. I have always let "others" decide how I should live it. It's time for me to decide how I want to live my life. :)

I went and played Pathfinder with my friends tonight. I rarely talked, but had one line that had everyone laughing. As much as I enjoy roleplaying games, I'm terrible at them. And I'm still afraid of being judged by guys I've grown up with. But that's the extent of my social life, so I make myself go regardless of how I might be feeling.

I managed to hold conversations with several people at work even though my anxiety was bad.

Working for the past 10 months janitorial, -2 months looking for work, and almost 11 months at Walmart (10 months as a cart pusher), 2 weeks as an unloader is my small victory. I put up with more B.S. than I ever thought I could and more than other people who got fired, quit, etc. could. Sometimes I feel like I should have offed myself when I was 13. But I realize that I am here for a reason and I have done some real positive things to help people and make my small part of the world better. It could be worse and it could be better.

Hey, things will get better man - trust me ;). I was horribly ****ed up at one point, things are looking up for me now though - I'm so happy about that :). Good luck mate.

WOW! Excellent BIG small victories everyone!!

Nick, I totally admire you for lasting so long in those jobs!! I'm sure there are lots of big small things you can still do to make people's lives better!!

I actually wrote a full-blown CV today, and sent it. (Which is a big thing for me, YAY!)
I was so terrified I wouldn't have much to write but then I researched how to write'em and damn, I'd nearly hire myself! lol I realized I'm pretty awesome, he he.. and that writing CVs can be FUN!! (Shock, shock!! :))

Watched Louise Hay's videos over at You Tube and got really inspired...

Went for a walk TWICE (which is another big one for me, as I sometimes don't even leave the house), admired Nature around me, and even flirted with guys at basketball field?? OoO :) lol! So yeah!

Got peaches from a lady in the street who hates everyone.. (except us, lol) She was nice.

Lovely sunny day.

panurge - That's so awesome!!! The world needs more people like you :) I have the right kind of heart and intentions, and I wish I could be warmer with people I don't know, but I'm not at that place yet.

Another victory for me: In laws came for a visit and spent most of the day interacting, and very little time retreating away to another part of the house :p

Didn't do anything today... but yesterday I took a long bikeride to meet up with an acquaintance. It was a really awkward time....er.. also it was in the tiny town I just moved out of, which is awkward, to have people see me again. I told another friend that she could stop by my house whenever she feels like it. I haven't spoken to her in around 5 months and I can't say i'm comfortable with it either

I returned eye contact to a smiling human today. Was leaving theater. Normally do not return eye contact. Though I couldn't return the smile I did nod head, acknowledging - or I don't know.

They're on to me! They know. No, just kidding.

They don't know a thing.

I returned a pair of trainers to the shop, (they'd give me odd sizes)! and managed to do it alone!
I got a new pair!
