I was a wallflower...

I can't seem to be able to to take this photo off so just just ignore the fact that you can see right up my nose. :)

When I was little I was very quiet. I rarely spoke in Sunday School unless it was with one of my friends. When I did speak to someone (other than my friends) I went over and over in my head what I wanted to say before I said it. Sunday School teachers loved me because I didn't run around and I didn't make noise. I sat in my spot and listened. I was quiet, well behaved, and polite.

But I think I hated being quiet, I just never really realized it.

I usually didn't have more than one or two friends. I always wanted to have a big circle of friends but it just never happened. I wasn't shy, but I just wasn't a huge talker.

I heard Priscilla Ahn's Wallflower and thought how it applied to me....especially when I was younger.

"Wishing I was more outgoing..."

I've gotten a lot more comfortable since I've gotten older. If I'm not talking its because I can't think of a single thing to say. I love to talk now. If we have something in common I will enjoy a conversation with you. I can be outgoing and sometimes you might just want to tell me to shut up. ;) Talking is fun, informative, and interesting.

But I still have a quiet side. I'm not really extroverted. I enjoy quietness, I love quietness.

Do Hard Things says to do things that are hard for you.

Talking on the phone was hard for me. The only people I would call was family. But I've pushed myself, I've made myself do some things that were uncomfortable.

And I'm pleased with the outcome.

I can now call a business without my heart beating...that's nice. ;)

So...do you have something that you want to overcome? Do you want to conquer an issue? Do you want to stop being a wallflower too? Tell me about it....I understand
