This is the first post of something new I am trying to do and let us see what happens. If you are scared or feel alone in the world then this is could be for you. This will not be for everyone, so if this is not your thing, good luck with your internet searches! I want to say it is true that you are already enough on your own. You can build yourself up THE WAY YOU WANT and make your dreams happen. What is making you scared right now of taking a chance? Is it the people in your life saying that you cannot do this? That you will never amount to anything? Life is too short to worry about them and chances are they are only being negative towards you because things did not work out for them in their life. You can always stand up for what you believe in or what you want even if everyone is against you. It will not matter because when you are living the life you want to live then you feel good about yourself and that will build your self-esteem up. Are you scared people will laugh at your and you will get embarrassed doing what you want? They will all get embarrassed at one point or another which is why they may want to take it out on you. Just take a moment, dust yourself off, and realize that you get embarrassed at 10am. By 3pm today, tomorrow, next week, etc. you will not care that this thing happened even if it seemed like so important at the time it happened. You may even laugh later and say wow I cannot believe that happened to me. The point is uncomfortable things are always going to happen from time to time, but there is no point in worrying about them because they never last. Are you scared that what you like is not cool or that none will understand it? There are billions of people on this planet and the chances are strong that someone at some point is going through or is interested in the things you like. When you are interested in something and can demonstrate or show it to people who may not understand it you will get teased. However, you will also show your passionate side. If you can be authentic in the interest you have in the oddball hobby, people will get drawn to that and will be impressed with the knowledge and care you have for the subjects you are discussing. No matter what you do people will always have something to say about it. Time is short and happiness can be a solo activity. If you are unhappy, I strongly suggest starting at the beginning. Try thinking of things that make you feel good and use that to push you forward into other things. For example: I like sports. What sports do I like? Football. Why do I like it? Because of the defensive plays and the excitement that anything can happen at any moment. When you are able to keep going like this, it will lead you to a good place.
