Exactly. I'm not a people person but there are some things that aren't fun to do alone.

It's bred into us, it's not a "nice" cheer, it's more "always make everyone believe your life is AWESOME"

I'm not sure how much longer I can put up with the cooking stench from downstairs. It's like living over an extra spicy sewer. :thumbdown:

Dang I can see how that would be difficult later on. When I learned as a kid I had to take one of the training wheels off, the try to balance while that other training wheel was my safety net. Seemed like it took a while before I got the balance right. Also the slower you go, the harder it is to balance. Don't ask me why.

See, this is precisely my problem. I don't go fast, so i fall over. But how can I go fast, if I don't know how? You can't just start fast...

I was exactly the same, and yes it was difficult. Maybe just like Frasier my brother turned out to get it right first, so I kept on trying, when I would ordinarily have given up.

As Megaten suggested you could try training wheels. I don't know if that's possible with the bikes you won. I do think however that if I showed less concern when learning I would have mastered it earlier. I know people with anxiety find that hard, but just try to convince yourself it's no big deal whether I get it right now, or whether I get it right in a year from now. I think that's probably what did help, realising that as long as I kept at it, it was impossible for me not to get it right, and that proved to be correct.

Also, don't be embarrassed. If you were a kid, you wouldn't be embarrassed. You wouldn't expect a kid to get it right without any difficulty. So you're the same, only you're learning to ride at a different stage in your life. That's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's not that you're incapable of riding a bike, you just didn't learn at the same time everyone else did.

You're right. I shouldn't be embarrassed, but its easier said than done.

I just paid $40 bucks for bike riding lessons for adults. I start in June. I'm very nervous about making an *** of myself, but I really want to just learn.

The US has some seriously screwed up ppl. I just read about half a dozen christian groups that all want to enforce their way of life and beliefs onto anyone who lives there. These aren't little splinter groups either, they're large groups with money (= power) and votes..

Why can't people just let others live how they want to?

Well done Nodes! :applause:

I applaud anyone who takes steps to conquer their fears and better themselves.

I love to ride. Theres a bike track that goes for approx 10 klm's along a beach front where I live, it's just simply awesome cruising along on the bike :)

I'm in contact with a hospital to perhaps work out a surgery or treatment that is going to affect anxiety and quality of life to a huge extent. It's nothing cosmetic, but rather internal.

I'm waiting for the dermatologist to get back to me, and I'm quite nervous. I've hit a wall before when presenting it to the family physician a year or two ago.

Only half a dozen? They must be slowing down.

We're in the middle of a presidential election season here, with most of the world watching anxiously (and with good reason). In one party, the field initially included at least four determined theocrats of whom I am aware, though there may have been others I've blissfully forgotten. They've all been knocked out of the race now by a man whose only religion is himself, but the forces of intolerance march on, ironically waving the flag of "religious freedom." The only freedom these hypocrites truly seek is that which would allow them to impose their minority views on everyone else under penalty of law. They've made advances in some areas, been slapped down in others, but no matter which way the tide turns, they never give up and they never want for support.

It's not just here, though. The only real difference between the religious conflict in America and that which has been ravaging the Middle East for centuries is the level of violence perpetrated by the zealots on either side. Change the scripture, change the symbols, and you'll find the story is essentially the same. It's a worldwide plague, and it will never be brought to an end until people come out of the Dark Ages and stop using mythology as a foundation for their lives.
