Comfort Zone

[ido]

Well Brat, I know you'renot talking about me because I've never even (IIRC) had any communicaiton with you other than thread responses.

I guess I don't have the lines that others do, and I'm not sure if this crosses anyones, but if I'm talking to someone, and they made a profile that has their e-mail address in it, I'll probably check to see if they have a myspace or facebook account. To me, that falls under getting to know someone, and if THAT'S over their line, they probably shoudn't have put their address out there.

Actually. I take that back, if that's over their line and they put their e-mail address in a public profile, they need to log off and find a coloring book to occupy their time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that searches Myspace for people.

I've gotten pushed out of my zone a few times recently, but sometimes you have ask yourself if it's comfort zone, or protection zone?

this is an interesting question that merits some deep thought. I have what I would consider my "comfort zone(s)" but then, perhaps its also my protection zone at the same time.

I have things I am ok with, things that I may not be thrilled about but willing now to open myself up to or "expose" myself to and some things that I flat out aint comfortable with at all.

If someone gets too close or too personal, I do deal with it and I do try to keep it a polite and nice as possible (not always successful tho). Then if that dont work, well, I do make sure they know they got too close or too personal and it wont happen again.

yeah, its a combo of comfort and protection. I think they kinda go hand in hand.

Some times you have to take a risk
And that risk involves getting out of your
Comfort zone and meeting a challenge
Just don't let it cross the line.

I'm more comfy online than in real life with opening up. I guess it's the anonymity that helps. However, with situations like your's it makes me a little more leary. I've taken down some pics too because I just didn't want ppl to immediately judge me based on looks.

I used to put up profiles on dating sites too but since that's never worked either, I've stopped even bothering with those. If I fade out of the picture, that's no big deal.

My comfort zone is a pretty small place. My mum wishes I'd leave it once in awhile. I sometimes wish I could leave it but everytime I do, it seems I get into predicaments I never wanted to be in.

I do that too. lol

I'm very private and personal. When people try to get me to open up to more than I'm willing to give, I freak. I become even more closed down to the point where people think I'm depressed; which I'm not. I just like to keep to myself.

Geesh. I'm going through all my subbies and I find that I'm a big thread killer lol

To get me past my comfort zone, it usually takes my friends daring me to do something... or a beer.

Hrm, beer usually isn't the best way to get past a comfort zone!

JPPT said it best, IMHO, to tak a risk. I find that it makes life interesting.

Psssh I step outside my comfort zone constantly. . .

Teaching sunday school . . . I was pretty uncomfortable with that.

Getting on that 120 mph roller coaster when I have always been afraid of coasters. . . Very uncomfortable. . .
Going to Church for the first time of my own accord. . . very very uncomfortable.

Great experiences, Luther. This will help give you some self-confidence! Keep at it! It's not unlike singing before a congregation all alone. I know the feeling!

 

[Luther073082]

I wouldn't sing alone, but thats because I know I'm not a good singer.

 

[ImperialPhantom]

I only let out the information I choose to let out, and if I choose to let it out, I don't care who sees or reads it and what they do with it, mostly.

Not a good singer as well
Prefer to sing with a choir!

Highway to the comfort zone...

 

[Crucifix]

JPPT1974: That's how I started out - in a choir. I was also taught how to speak in public competitively, so that also helped. Keep it up! you'll do OK!

I am too.

These forums seem to be getting very 'clique-ish' lately....sigh....
