What Am I So Afraid Of?

I over-think and over-analyze almost everything. Not so much what to eat or what to wear, but what gadget to buy, what activities to participate in, why I don't want to do things, how to structure my television watching and DVR-recordings to make sure I don't miss any of the shows on my rather long list. One of the problems with all of this thinking is that I can talk myself out of pretty much anything. If someone has ever so much as hinted that something was dangerous or bad, there is a good chance I've never or rarely done that activity.

One of my goals for the summer is to become more comfortable asserting myself and expressing myself. Writing this blog, in itself, is something I am afraid of doing, but seemed like a perfect venue for learning to open up and express myself. Along the way, I plan to use this space to document my experiences as I try some new things and see how they go. Some possible new experiences may include learning to drive, learning to cook, moving out, tweeting and social media use, and speaking to or introducing myself to people I don't know. Stay tuned, this should be fun!
