Face your fears! trial

No, this is not another 30-day trial, and no I'm not taking (too) big risks because of the courageous title because I believe that would be stupid.

Instead I am reportint about my attempt to face my imaginary fears such as fear of girls. Even though this might turn of to be one of the wierdest blog posts you've ever read(except if you're reading Steve Pavlina), I think that following my advice will help you at least as much as it helped me.

Once again, the fourth time, I think, I'll recommend you to take challenges in your life, however this time I'll give you a much better example of what to do.

So back to my imaginary fears.  I happen to be a 10% mental retard(my definition), so I have a problem of understanding of what's going on around me, which consequents in low ability to act correctly in social situations(my psychologist's definition).

That's why I decided every time I don't understand something, I fully confront it. So if I don't know if a girl is giving me a flirtious look, I look right at her to figure it out(I happen to be a bit of a machist =)  ). If I don't know if I believe someone is thinking I'm not self-confident and tries therefore to make fun of me(remember my low understanding of how reality really looks like) I look directly at him to show him I am more than self-confident.

If you had a problem understanding the second example, I'm sorry this is the best explanation I can provide :=).

So anyways what I'm trying to say is not to follow me directly in what I'm doing as I believe that's clearly not your lifestyle. Instead take a look at what seems challenging to you and attack it head-on(just make sure it's not too challenging) and you will realise that either(or both or altogether):

a)the problem you are facing is actually not that bad and is quite fun to be doing

b)the situation is not as scary and terrifying as it first seemed like

In other words, problems might not be only there for you as obstacles, but also as opportunities to grow, have fun, learn something, etc. If you want a more detailed explanation and where I got that crazy idea, take a look at the Joy of Solving Problems blog article by, again and perhaps for the 20th time, Steve Pavlina.
