Lots of things scare me. Talking to new people, talking to people I think of as “cooler” than me. Going somewhere new. With my close friends I talk a crap load and am one of the loudest most “extroverted” ones. But when a new person is with the group I get closed up. Worry that what I say will make them think I am stupid.

@Merri – evidently, we’re not the only ones!

@faerian – yeah…why is it that the things we most want to do come with so much fear attached?

@Joanne – Yes! What will everyone think of me??

@Tim – that would be an honour. I’ve never been plagiarized before. (and yes, that’s what I tell all the guys)

@Heidi – I get this. I think sometimes I’m afraid of living too. Yet the slow death of not doing anything challenging is worse. (At least sometimes.)

@Bridget – ooo. I like that scared and sacred thing.

Patty K-
We all got the scareds, lady. All of us got the scareds. And those of us who find ways to do stuff in spite of or because of being scared are the ones that get past it.
Scared and Sacred are the same word with one letter flipped. Interesting, eh?
Really looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Much love-
B

This is beautiful! And so true... I remember being a teenager, and having this epiphany that I wasn't afraid of dying, I was afraid of living! (what can I say, I was a somewhat morbid teenager... but also full of smarts. or was it that I was a smart ass? well, either way...) It's only as I've gotten older that I've realized that pretty much everyone is afraid, of something, some of the time (if not almost everything, most of the time!). .-= Heidi´s last blog ..Permission granted =-.

I know this isn’t a nice thing to say for a life coach, but I sometimes physically want to murder people that leave comments saying “Wow, this came at just the right time for me”

Well I’m not going to say that at all, but it is quite interesting because I’m banging my head against a brick wall here trying to finish off a 3 part series on social anxiety and fear and you have said a lot of what I intend saying.

I may now steal this post and claim it as my own.

Thanks!

Way to go Patti, this is the stuff we all would like to admit to and are afraid, afraid of what? What people will think I know I am talking generational, as the older generation were very much “What will the neighbours think” I am at the age where I say who the hell cares.
Keep going girl!
