Trying To Conquer Wicked Insecurity And Fear

[olaja]

Well, I don't know what is going to happen, but I invited some people over to my house. I have been self isolating for a decade and have relied solely on my husband to make me see people. Today, I took initiative and asked people over for dinner on Thanksgiving. It's really a big deal for me. I am now on pins and needles with anxiety waiting to hear back, but if I don't try this, I will never make positive change. Sucks. I posted here because I want to give myself positive reenforcement even though I am afraid at the same time.

I think this is sooooooo great!!

I am stepping out this year myself. Not having people over but seeing my hunny's family, ALL of them :) It's a lot and although not on the day but this is the only way everyone can get together! I decided this past couple of years to PUSH myself beyond my comfort levels to be with family.

You can do this, they love you and want to be with you. Look at it this way, you can always ask that they bring stuff and join in. You don't have to do everything yourself. People love to be apart of the meal and celebration :). I feel like this is all part of moving forward, doing that which makes us a little afraid and puts us out there a bit.

hugs,
peace,
