@soulsings
Your post came up weird in the preview, but not the post itself. It shows your email address!
@jesusredeemedme2425 I do not see that so it must be a glitch on the app.
It was on the website, but it seems to be gone now <3

- How do you build up your courage to do something that seems just beyond your easy reach? For example you could step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Take one step at a time.
- What is a general area in which you got out of your comfort zone? Almost finishing graduate school. Just three more classes to go.
@purpleTree4652 wow that is great congratulations on your progress for graduate school.
@soulsings
I just stay in my comfort zone. I know. I shouldn't. Easier said than done.
@courageouspanda2006 staying in the comfort zone can be a stabilizing strategy.
@soulsings
Most of my experiences were about exposure to the public or a crowd.
I remember the first time I (17 then) sang and played the guitar in front of a big crowd, using a mic for the first time too. An older cousin of mine had heard me at some family reunion and just picked me up at home the next day. He was an organizer of some festival. I had NO time to worry about courage because we were busy picking out what I would sing (7 folk songs in 7 languages). I just went with the flow because..... I liked that cousin and did not want to disappoint him. Maybe also, I was too young to be really that self-conscious? I have an old newspaper picture of me finally smiling and blushing at the applause I got then.
Learning not to fear the homeless and work with them, particularly the nights I spent I my church supervising their sleep (with another parishioner). That was out of my comfort zone for real the first time, but actually, none of them was a threat. I learned their names, heard some of their stories, shared cigarettes. Of course, I volunteered again. It became part of my comfort zone.
Deciding to confront someone in order to get what is due to me is something that I have to gather my wits for. It can be a battle for which you need careful preparation

@Fradiga those sonds like amazing acts of courage.
@soulsings My hardest chore is da telephone calling people I am unfamiliar with other than medical purposes included wit not bein’ able to call people I’m unfamiliar wit its having to meet up wit those people face to face wit da most difficult if da corresponding has to dao wit a guy. I am in fear of ‘em due to being abused by males in my past an have great difficulty wit dat. How I tend to at times get out of da comfort zone is by having someone else initiate da situation at which point it allows me to take over ‘cause now wit person initiating for me it gave me da operatunity to listen an observe their manner of chattin’, carrying themselves an observing thereby rakin’ me comfortable to deal wit da person solo. I know I could do better but its breakin’ through da fear dat holds me back.
@eternalHero77 I am sorry you have had past trauma. No wonder you are being careful.
I have been socializing more with people in a face to face way and through apps on my phone and iPad. But I have been doing more face to face socializing recently.
@azureAcres1605 nice to hear. Hope that works out well for you.
@soulsings
My general idea to get out of my comfort zone is "It will be hard the first time but if you don't do it now you will never do it"
@amiablePeace77 Or when will you do it. Procrastination is an insidious disease.
All you have to say is whatever happens happens and I don't give a damn and believe it

i think remembering the times that i did something similar and it turned out to be a good experience - What is a general area in which you got out of your comfort zone?
for me i think experiencing new job opportunities
@daydreammemories those sound like good ideas.
