Face Your Fears

Posted on June 28th, 2007 by Cas

Whoever said face your fears was a silly, silly person.

I’m facing a fear at the moment - that fear being my stomach churning fear of meeting new people. Added to that this evening I am going to have to face another fear of mine, that of walking into a venue (bar, restaurant, club etc) where I don’t know any body there. Plus there’s the time honoured fear of making an absolute fool of myself.

Oh, crap.

I can sure talk the talk. I guess it’s time to see if I can walk the walk…

(And my gleeful cryptiveness will be explained tomorrow. Or possibly throughout the evening if you keep an eye on Twitter).

    YOU CAN DO IT! :D
    Face those fears and rock the house!
    Or club. Or bar. Or the venue of your choice. :)

    Those fears are much the same as my fears, of course, being an off-the-charts introvert doesn’t help. LOL

    Have fun! :)

    It’ not meeting people that’s scary, it’s getting to know them ;-)

    Enjoy.

    Thank you guys :) I did indeed have fun. I also, I am ashamed to admit, have a little “walk past the venue, keep walking, very nearly chicken out” moment. But I didn’t chicken out and I am very glad :D

    I also found out that I have no sense of direction. Well, I knew this already, but I re-found it out double today. Liverpool Street station should NOT be that bloody hard to find!

    I’m glad you didn’t chicken out! Life’s too short!

    [...] Which is why I was firstly all excited when I noticed that I’d posted 700 posts, and then a little narked when I noticed what the 700th post was. I mean, a cryptic throw-away post about what a chicken I am is hardly worthy of a milestone post now, is it? [...]
