i realize that i know and want to be more open to new things, experience and people. i've dug myself into a social hole for so long that if i'm not open to these kinds of things, i will never get out of that hole. However, i also need to respect my own limits and understand that i'm not going to enjoy everything and everyone. And everyone isn't going to enjoy me either, and that's ok!
Yesterday, we went and hung out with some friends. A very nice mix of people we knew and people we didn't know. All in all, a great bunch of guys. After sitting around and talking for a good while, the host decided it was time to play some games. Now, i enjoy most games. i love board games, card games, crosswords, etc. However, i do not like parlor games. Anytime i have to get up and act things out or perform tasks, i do not enjoy anymore. And that's odd, having been in theatre lol But when i play these kinds of games, i put so much pressure on myself and i start to withdraw. So, when i started getting that way yesterday, i simply excused myself and left the room for awhile, until they were finished. i recognized that i was starting to get internal, so i took myself out of the situation and went to relax. And it worked. i still had a wonderful time with everyone. Next time, though, i say we play Scrabble!
