Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Mirth Sequel: Help me face my fears. *Challenge*

Mirth · 01-25-2010, 12:40 AM

So it's 3:30AM as I type this, and I just can't go to sleep. I just can't get how to improve myself and socialize off my mind. So, I come to ask for help. I know, it's been only a few days since I made my last thread, but I don't want to waste any time on getting help and getting better.

For those that don't know me and would like to better understand me and my anti-social personality dilemma, please read my other thread, which shows my loser-ness: Settle With or Dump the girl that I don't love?

I didn't think I could break up with that girl. It's something I normally wouldn't have done. But I finally broke free of that thought and did what was best for me (and her). What I'm getting at is I'm ready to take control of my life and I'm ready to change, even if I'm late in the game at 25 years old.

Main point of thread: For those that want to help me, or those willing to, I would like for you to come up with a goal for the week that has something to do with me either talking to a stranger or something of that sort. If I do not complete the goal each week, I will know for myself that I cannot change, and I will inform you of my failure and not waste anymore of your time. If I do achieve the goal, then you will come up with a harder goal for next week. Note that I will not lie and say that I achieved the goal if I didn't. Lying to you would be of NO help to me, and I do my best not to lie intentionally.

For week one, please make it something simple. Note that I am not normal like the rest of you socially, and that a do have a bit of a negative self-image issue, although it's not as bad as it used to be. It's enough for me to have the guts and confidence to even want to attempt this. So please, make it something somewhat-easily achievable for a beginner.
Analogy: You wouldn't tell a first-time guitar player to learn the E-major barre chord to start off.

I am on a couple dating sites and social networking sites, so you could have me use that.
I am of the legal drinking age, so I can go to bars.
I do have a car so I can go to grocery stores or places with real people.
I can and WILL not talk to any of the girls at my college for the first couple of weeks. They intimidate me to no end.

You or other posters may include tips or pointers that would help me achieve the weekly goal if you so desire.

Please, serious replies only. No " *facepalms* ", no making fun of how I suck at life, etc. If I fail the week's assignment, then you can do whatever you want to your hearts content. But for now, I really want help and guidance, and I'm willing to commit.
