with the glorious amount of free time that i have, i have been thinking about my ability to comfortably to interact with others. call it shyness if you want, but i wonder it's more that just that simple label. i was looking at a flyer posted my out counseling center in my bathroom. they hold free, non-credit classes every quarter and one of them has to do with being able to socialize well. i looked at it for a while and seriously considered signing up. i'm not sure why, but i just have this desire to be bold and to have the confidence to talk to other people that i don't know.the first meeting that i went to for campus crusade, they announced their fall retreat. just a small trip to the mountains for a weekend in order to get to know new people and to share in God's word. immediately in my mind i said no and searched for an excuse in the unlikely event that someone would ask me if i was going. the stupid thing is that this is far from the first time that i have done this. it seems that my immediate reaction to meeting new people or stepping out of my comfort zone, is to run and hide. i'm determined to find out why and hopefully get over this fear.
the lamest part is that i'm going to san diego that saturday, which serves as the perfect excuse, and after hearing more about the trip, i really want to go.

It's hard to just open up to people and make new friends. I know I am kinds dealing with that too. I really want to make friends, but somehow I become shy. Seriously...when do I become shy? I think that it takes time to feel comfortable especialy when you know that you have a great group of friends already. I know that is part of my issue. Anyway...I love you and am glad that you are my friend.
