Introduction
Hello everyone. This is my first post. I’m 17, going to be a junior when I go back to school in 4 days. After having pretty much no social life and getting pretty fooking sick of it I decided that I seriously needed to change. Fortunately I found this site soon after. I spent a good 2 or so weeks gathering great articles understanding what your views are. I realized a lot that I didn’t really pick up on before the site. It just all made sense. Now that I new how things are I realized I really had to change because its hard to ignore a situation when you realize how fooked up something is and still decide to let things be even though you no you can change what is wrong and fix it.
So I new I was going to Britain for about 2 weeks and I could use this for my practice field. What ever happened it wouldn’t matter since I was leaving to never see any of those people again after 2 weeks. I decided to create a few objectives and created a mini boot camp for me. Imagine, basically, MOTU’s boot camp only going to week 4 (each week being 2-3 days) and objectives cut to about half.
Now that I had my game plan I needed a little motivation incase I started getting frustrated. I gathered a nice list of quotes, that I believe are all from this site, and as I went through the forum I also kept things that I read that really had an impact on me. You can find those at the bottom of this post (this is a long post as im sure you already know lol).
My number one rule through my trip was to get out of my comfort zone. I was so damn sick of being in my awful comfort zone. Even though its called a comfort zone it doesn’t mean you are going to enjoy being in it. I know I hated being in mine and always nervous to talk to people I didn’t know very well and not wanting to socialize to anyone but the people ive known and scared to say things out loud in class. Even though I hated it, it’s what I felt comfortable in and I didn’t want to leave it because I scared to. So it was time to try to have and force myself into as many uncomfortable situations as possible. I wanted to turn these uncomfortable feelings into my new comfort zone and once I did sprout out again to find more uncomfortable situations. I never want to go back to my old comfort zone again.
