hello people, i want to share a personal victory with you because i'm kinda proud of it
it probably sounds like something really stupid and easy, but for me, it is not.
i shared music with someone today.
one of my biggest fear ever is being rejected and criticised, and getting close to people is really difficult. the only one i know close (and its still kinda a wonder that i didnt push him away), is my boyfriend. he is such a sweet guy, and he is pretty understanding about my anxiety problems. he knows some things about me that nobody knows, and i love him so much. i feel finaly a little bit alive when i am with him.
but still, making small decisions, ( what i want to eat, what i like to do etc) and sharing things i like with him is hard. only the thought that he does not like an anser i give is torture. i always avoid it at any costs.
but not today. today i shared 10 (freaking 10!!) numbers with him i like. i was so fearfull and in panic at the beginning, and even now i get anxious thinking about it.
but he helped me a lot with holding my hand and doing breath-exercises.
and at the end, there were numbers he liked, there were numbers he did not like. i don't want to think about that last thing to much. and maybe i don't even care that much. the feeling of doing something you are so scared of, but actually enjoy too at the end is so strong
