Taking the First Step

This LO was inspired by a little argument I had with my DH today. Just getting some of my frustrations out on paper...scrap therapy at it's best. TFL

Journaling: This is me. I am not a people person. I dont go out of my way to talk to people, and from what Ive been told, Im not very approachable either. It takes me a really long time to feel comfortable enough to open up to people, but once I do, I like to think that I am a very good and loyal friend. People think that Im stuck up and snobbish, the truth is that I probably feel very uncomfortable in the situation that Im in. Its something that I have dealt with my whole life. I dont like being in the spotlight, and would rather stay at home with my family than go out and spend time with other people. Truth be told, I dont exactly feel comfortable talking to people, especially ones that I dont really know, its something that my husband thinks that I need to work on...to better myself. But I really dont see that happening very easily, even if I do work on it. And honestly, I dont see what the big deal is. I am very comfortable in my line of work, and because of that, I am able to open up and connect with people easily at work. Its just in day to day life that I dont feel like I need to be an open book. Nonetheless, I have agreed to at least try to work on being able to be more secure with myself so I can be more open to people...but I have a feeling that its going to be a very long, hard road. But, if along that way, it does make me a better person, then I am ready and willing...until then Im just a work in progress. So, in the meantime, to anyone who feels like Im being rude, Im just asking you to give me a little more time to feel more comfortable around you so we can talk about anything and everything.

omg, natasha... this is awesome. and WOW... can i EVER relate! it's a personality thing... i'm certain of it. my husband can work a room from front to back and never miss a beat... me... i have no social skills. i'm the type to sit in one spot and talk to those i know. i'm not a reacher and sometimes definitely come across as snobbish. but just like with you, the truth is i have NO IDEA what to say... i have NO IDEA how to make "small talk". wow... i sooo feel you on this one, girl. this template was PERFECT for the journaling and i love how you dressed it up a little. ((((Hugs))))
 
Well, here's another one in your corner. It has eased up over the years with great effort on my part. Most people don't even know how uncomfortable I am in social settings. But that has taken many, many years. And, just because most people don't know, doesn't mean that it's still not there! It is! Great job with the journaling!!! And beautiful layout!
