Good one! I'm off to Mrs Phocas' work thing in half an hour - this has caused me to be almost suicidal in the past, but I think it will go well tonight

Cool. :)

It's a nice feeling when things just go right. I have had my moments in the past, but at the end of the day I can never keep it up for a long period of time.

Yeah I know it's hard when ur slightly introverted aswel but what I'm learning is never to dwell on the bad times or moments for too long and remember all ur good days ad successes rather then the bad ones :)

Did it! all went well - good tips as I found myself tiring and starting to get caught up in my thoughts and stopped it. Best thing was we were home by midnight :D

Hmm, sounds vaguely familiar.

Great advice, nonetheless.

If you'll pardon a possible minor anecdote...

When I first started making eye contact I surprised an elderly lady who was not watching where she was going. A shopping cart, nearly hit, nearly knocking into me. Finally, eye to eye, nod of the head. She, startled and wide eyed. Moving on.

Phocas -

WELL DONE ! :) i am currently at home feeling exhausted now I was supposed to meet a cpl out at a pub tonight but I felt a little drained and not up 4 2 challenges in one day lol I actually find when you go out in bigger groups it's easier coz the attention is not all focused on u

thanks flowerigirl :) you know I was reading about what u did before s.a and u sounded like u were having a pretty good life :) I wonder how things wud have turned out if we were not teased and if I came from a functional family sigh

I nailed mine too.

I was able to call MANY places to ask for a weird flavor of yogurt for someone. That was huge for me. cold calling anywhere, let alone asking hard questions was impossible.

I also asked for something at a store today.

YEAH! ahhh, feels better.

still really shy though, just no anxiety lol
