I always had a hard time finding the courage to start a conversation. Do you have any advice on how to overcome this? (edited)

Many years ago, I was known as a very shy individual. I could not hold or dare i say, even start a conversation. Until this guy walked up to me and said: "Don't think". "Just.. Don't.. Think"... I laughed out loud as I thought he was joking. But as he gazed down into my eyes.. I knew he was not. Few days later.. There she stood.. The sole source of my madness.. Leaning against a wall smoking a sigaret.. I stared at her as a sheep does to a wolf. Women possess a natural form of elegance which a man may never aim to achieve.. Devestating. As the lovedrunk fool that I was, I limped towards her. Heart racing.. Knees buckeling.. My mind screaming as I approached her: "What in the helllll are you doing son"?! "Can't you SEEE she's way outa your league bruhhh"?!!! "Damnnn" !!! For the very first time in my life.. I chose to ignore it. She looked up. Our eyes locking as she stared me dead in the face. Unknowingly dominating every single ounce of my body. I held my grond and said: "H.. How are you doing"? Her gaze lingered for a moment as she said: "I'm ok just enjoying the sun a lil bit. How are you doing" ? That's all I remember of the conversation, for this was 13 years ago. This my friend is no Disneystory and we didn't end up getting married. We were dating for close to 14 months or so, which is the teenage-equivalent of 15 years. After that we never saw each other again. What struck me the most in our convos after, is when she told me that she thought I was arrogant. Because among other things, she thought I never acknowledged her presence. The perception that you have of yourself may be very different of what people actually think of you. So.. As I was told 13 years ago I will say this to you now. Try to dominate your senses and just DO it. DON'T Think!! 👍

(This is my honest opinion from learning abt my own dreams) If you find yourself dreaming of drowning at the sea, trapped in a place with no exit, or even running away from a bunch of non-existed creature ... ... it might be because of the 'problems' that you tried to brush off oftenly. They're... read more

Feeling guilt can trap you in a cycle
For example, I feel guilty about not messaging or texting someone back which can lead me to further waiting to message them which makes me feel even more guilty

Sometimes I wonder if there was ever a ‘real me’… Been playing roles since childhood, adapting, surviving. You peel off layers and it’s just—blank. Ever felt that too?”

Time Traveler Thought Experiment
Please tolerate my little thought experiment. Imagine if the love of your life time traveled to the past, before you officially met them, and they decided to meet you early and introduce themselves as your true love in the future. How would you have reacted? I'm curious if there are major... read more

I am so sorry I was genuinely excited to get to know you, and said I think you're so amazing. How awful of me to express myself, and say how I feel, what I think. How dare I show interest, and appreciation for someone else, who I don't know. How selfish of me to actually want to know, and... read more

When someone...
When someone checks on you, check on them too. People don’t randomly ask how you’re doing. They often feel something. Maybe they’ve been through the same pain, maybe they’re going through it now but hiding it behind a smile. Those who check in are often the ones who rarely get checked on... read more

I will never understand 🤔
This needs to be studied: • "Deeply" religious guys and their obsession with OF girls. • Feminists prowling Tinder for douche bags. Both groups seem to obsess over the very people they dislike. What is this called? Is it the low-key rebellion that makes it exciting?

Would you rather be with someone who always has your back, no questions asked—or someone who pushes you to think differently, even if it means calling you out sometimes? Why?

If women are sexist for using the word man, men are also sexist for using the word woman. Right?
Or are men just more advanced and above human psychology?

Would you ever consider moving to another continent for love. Leave everything behind for your person... Hopefully?
I've just been thinking about it quite a bit. What are you willing to give up for love? Especially when it's never certain. But for the chance, for a probably, what would you give? $100? A limb? All the comforts you know

I was saved last year when I wanted to take my life. Since then, I’ve been trying to learn more about myself as to why I am the way I am. That’s when I became obsessed with MBTI. Even though people say it’s pseudo science, being an INFJ describes me 99.9% perfectly. I’m also an HSP and... read more
