If I weren’t afraid I’d be out more. meeting people and actually living instead of just staying at home most of the time, I don’t get the chance to go out or enjoy my free time, so it feels like I’m missing the chance to build my personality and become confident without overthinking what others might say
Just be 100% me, doing all the things Ive wanted. to do it with all my flaws and carry nothing but myself and all that I care about.
I think I'd ask myself why, Why can't I feel fear? Am I desensitized? Sometimes being afraid good, it reminds me I'm still human. So if I wasn't afraid, I'd be in fear of that fact itself.
Hold bugs in my hands ...moths and spiders and what not
Being usefull like everyone else
Live as the woman I have always wanted to be, instead of pretending to be a man because it's a safe misery.
Today is my birthday, but nobody celebrated it
Wear whatever I want ,be loud,try everything, go start conversation with strangers randomly, customize my character every month not caring what others think bocz it will help me explore my different personalities and just live according to my rules and not gaf!!
Emptying things is a privilege. Not everybody gets to finish what they started.
Explore what's in my basement. (In other more clearer words. Explore myself, Get to know myself.)
Hello
Allow space for silence in conversation. Lose the need to speak or respond so quickly.
Ouch. You have to options here either confront her to understand why she would do that or move away. Or the third option which I don't recommend. You stay and act like nothing happened and keep holding that grief all the time until you explode on her later on Which may result in your unfriendship. after you have been drained.
I would probably tell someone how much I'm struggling mentally and ask for help.
To be honest I'm right now doing exactly what i was so afraid to do which was rap and it's been an amazing experience and a beautiful process so far
🤎🤎🤎
take all the entrance exams in universities even if its far from home.
Talk to strangers and ask girls out on dates
that's what i need too
tell my family that ı don't really want anybody. that ı don't want a stepmother that ı can't speak her language and just smile each other like we like each other. that ı don't want to listen my moms new lovers or old marriage traumas. that ı don't want to be the older and mature-er and successful-est, but yeah. I'm afraid to get beaten and get called 'ungrateful'.
that's the most beautiful think I'd ever read
I think you should definitely do it, like i'd be over the moon if someone told me they liked me and if she doesn't love you back you can just get free of your platonic love
maybe confess to him, idk. but i kinda like him too much as a friend and scared that i wont like him that much as a bf even if he excepted. like he's so funny and i don't know if i like him so much as a friend or i love him.
Be more bold outgoing! Be more social and put myself out there
Be the real me!!!! Be more outspoken outgoing!!!!! Just live more be more social
I will say keep swimming until you get to the shore
For every struggle and trial you go through, it will shape you to be a better person for yourself and others
Tell you how beautiful you are and i am in love with you !!
DO IT !
I would marry!
Sometimes I miss oportunities just 'cause I am afraid of asking, so I wanna just have the courage to speak up.
I'm waiting intel I see her
How to move on from someone for who you did everything to the extent that when you look back you can't think of anything you could change? How to move on from the realization that your best wasn't worth it.
Start living for myself and not for people. Id say the truth more often
I would explore the whole world and take up any opportunity
Same
Make all my dreams come true & live to the fullest
Do it my friend, I did it too Never got an answer back , felt horrible but atleast I tried otherwise that regret would have killed me
I'd shout from the rooftops
You can do it ! Wishing you all the best as someone who has been in that exact state a few moths ago and now in medical school ! Hope it works out for you wonderfully.
Grieving deeply is proof that you've loved fully.
Learning to forgive yourself for the things that you did wrong.
Meee tooo
Kiss everyone I can see
You can learn a lot from yourself if you listen. Some things you see with your eyes, others you see with your heart
Pursue a craft/art that I love instead of grinding for a career that provides stability.
You got this!
I would unblock him. He's not good for me and I'm afraid cutting it off with him later would be even harder, but I'm in so much pain idk what to do.
Write it down, see how it looks
I would say you're amazing if you did this 🙏🏼
Let go of all the thoughts that cycle and hold me down from becoming what I used to dream of (Dancer/Writer/Performer/Visual Artist)
Encourage my mom on her divorce and go no contact with my narcissistic father. My mental emotional and physical health is affected badly each time i hear his voice or interact with him in any way.
Tell my crush about my feelings and check on him since he seems to be struggling with something , yet I'm not close enough to him to ask about it or provide help , I'm still worried about him and hope he is doing better now.
Take a trip to South Korea with my daughters to visit my mom 🇺🇸🇰🇷
To go again to learn dancing and music on all the styles I love
Get the girlfriend of my dreams
probably be a full time artist or an interior designer
Free myself and say I can and I will
Ik this feeling suffering from same
Feeling too much is a curse?
Why would I care about it if I wasn't Afraid fear is the point of it if I lose that fear I just lose the meaning I have behind it it becomes just an act with no meaning if it was done just cause I have no fear just like that
I think I would become an extrovert
Nothing.. I think that my life is related to fear of not proving myself to the world. I feel like I live in a "to do list "life and I will never be proud of myself because everything I do is not a goal or something makes me happy , it's a need to not fall apart and to survive.
I’d stop being around her, she already has someone else and made it clear that there’s gonna be no chance between the two of us ever.
Took my shot on her after 2 months of talking and rapport building Turns out she’s already committed
Idk I love going outside it’s so freeing
I'm sure I'd do something reckless since fear keeps me laser focused and careful, maybe.
I would leave my job and build my gym.
To take THE CHANCE, my future self would be grateful for.
Tell my friends that they hinder my well-being
ピアノがあるバーに入店しピアノを弾く
True true
Thats perfectly fine
True true
I read every thought, if you’re reading this just know that doing what you’re afraid of is really easy, believe in yourself, tutto passa everything passes, we only live once, so do everything you WANT
You’re doing it already, you just didn’t notice
I would start allowing myself to fully be and speak on what I've always thought about myself, regardless of whoever stays or leaves.
I'll tell my crush about my feelings
Stopping hiding from both myself and the world. To shoot for and do the things that spark connection and light up my life instead of running away into the dark
i would tell my bff how much im in love with him but he has a crush...
im scared that i cant make it to medical school my whole family im so nervous
Afraid of what is matters
Let's do it sister, what are we waiting for?
So what are you waiting for? :)
I would confess my love
I mean, that´s right
If you are not 100% sincere, doesn't it mean that this friendship isn't completely real and honest? So, what do you are afraid of?
Be my true self
I want to start a youtube channel!
I WOULD CUT MY BSF AND ONLY FRIEND OFF BC I THOUGHT THE BOND WAS REAL THEN I OPENED A FAKE ACC TO TEXT AN ANONYM ACCOUNT THAT WAS REQUESTING TO FOLLOW ME ALL SUMMER ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS HER THEN WHEN I KNEW THAT IS HER I WAS ABOUT TO TELL HER IT IS ME BC I DO NOT LIKE MANIPULATING YK SO I WAS LIKE "u have a bsf?" THINKING THAT SHE WOULD BE LIKE YEEEEAH THEN TALK ABOUT HOW INCREDIBLE I AM BUT SHE WAS LIKE"i have an only one friend her name is 'my name' and she is selfish and double faced and i hate her" WELLLLLL IAM STILL SHOCKED AND IDK HOW TO ACT
I would dive straight into the unknown and take a risk to change my life direction. I don't want to be afraid of what the future holds. I want to take action.
Be as loyal as a lock 🔐
Try to trust humans again.
Ask someone on a date 🥲
You and I are in same boat.. don't do that mate. We are all together into this
Invest financially in the ideas I think of.
Be myself. Fully and Completely
Start my own drone business.
Everything.. not wasting any second, not waiting for rock bottom, not waiting for a small change to happen.. whatever, i am still trying and wont stop, afraid or not.. life wont wait on me!💛
I wouldn't have waited and just shoot my shot. But I hope I'm not longing for another chance for her and can finally get over it
I love her
I would take every opportunity, put myself out there, be free and unencumbered by the burden of caring how anyone perceived me. I’d live my life to the fullest and I wouldn’t be afraid of loving and being loved
I will hug my sis and told her, make her believe that I know this is hard for you but trust me I'm trying and I will make you feel better one day for sure
YESSS
I would open myself up to new people, new friends… to love!
Ty for this
I would probably interact with more people
Allow myself to feel.
confess to my crush and tell her she deserves more than she thinks and gets, or just bungee jump
fear is what makes us be who we are; but if i did have a chance, it’d be opening up and being myself, authentic.
Talk to people about the things I like
I would have started bakery with cute little garden and would have host many events of book reading and all 💔
WRITE AND KEEP WRITING AND LEARN WRITING AND EXPRESS ART THOROUGHLY. I would genuinely, GENUINELY give my all to my day with myself overflowing at the seams. I would LOVE life in a way a river does.
Tell my gf i love her
without this social anxiety that has been wrapped in me, I would literally talk to every person in a room without feeling embarrassed. I would walk infront of everyone feeling confident regardless of the outcome.
I would show up all my talents and hobbies and expose myself fully to the world without the fear of judgement and fear of being seen
I will talk to my crush, will share my feelings more to my friends and say them how I feel. But I can't.
I would have chosen unrequited love
Quit my job and try smth else
I'd leave my phone at home for a week. I'd put down my earphones. I'd travel the world alone with no plans. I'd fly across the country to tell her I still love her. I'd open up a coffee shop. I'd tell my dad that I love and forgive him. I'd really love to stay true to myself, accept who I am.
Learn to drive so I wouldn't have to rely on people to get me to work.
Change my major to study film
Maybe she knows !!!!!!!
Leave everything behind and go off grid to live in nature , start a small bookshop
i'd fully commit to myself and my goals and dreams
I’m going to let her know how much she means to me.
I will call my friend who is not answering to my messages, that how much i care her and i really love her and presence but unfortunately she don’t want to talk she even ignored my birthday wishes 🥲
I will be true to myself by listening to my heart !
I would kiss my current girlfriend. And tell her that I love her..
I don't even know...
Stay true to myself
id smash patriarchy
yes
Pursue voice acting as a full time career (need to pay off some debt first)
Talk the right sense into people's brain, the selfmade myths and useless tradition everyone is living by.the lies spread into people's brain before they even gain consciousness, in the name of culture or religion, Godd just shove some sense into them and stop them more spreading misinformation to the rest of us, lets just THINK.
Tell this world exactly where they are wrong, not faking not sugarcoating, and most of them all not COMPROMISING, not in the fear of loss, loss of relationship that your ties to since birth, being absolutely blunt.
I would be the most powerful woman of the world.
I would speak up and protest whenever I feel insulted, sharing my point of view without fear of being wrong “just because others don’t agree with it.”
I would quit everything I'm doing now, just to start over
Talk to everyone Follow my dreams Trust the process
Traveling the world alone, living alone and ignoring my family's protest without feeling guilty because I’m living my life, and just going ahead wherever I feel like it (hope I can do it someday)
Talk to strangers more often esp the scariest kind(women)
I’d start working on that idea I have for a book, I’d go go ask my dream company for a job, I’d ask that cute girl out on a date, and I’d start that business.
I would move out, get a new job, get a new wardrobe study for a long long time, go out with my friends and all of that. That seems basically but in my house we are not even allowed to do that.
Spend all my savings
Dance in public to music I love.
Talk with friendly strangers on the subway.
Stand up for myself in the face of those that seek to belittle your existence
Conquer myself in an instant by doing the things which I was afraid of.
Go to talk to the girl I love. But there's a lot of reasons of why I don't do it
Go all in on my passion because I won't be afraid to see my potential
talk to more people and make LOTSSSS of friends and put myself out there everytime
I’d travel and explore the world alone and wouldn’t need someone’s company in order to do something I’ve always wanted to do
Move to the mountains and start over.
I would start posting on social media and being myself
I would do everything a human being could possibly do, however it is and how hard it is. I'll just try it without my fear or feeling afraid
If I weren't afraid first of all I would climb all those mountains and make myself happy, then I would do every scary thing required for acheiveing my dreams.
I'd come out as a girl to my sister and parents
I've been in the same problem for a long time, I promise you it's going to get better. My best tip could be to start by talking to close friends about it, and maybe reach out in local communities where you know many people had this issue. Once you've opened up, try to show gradually more skin when hanging with these people, and you'll slowly feel the burden of it fade away. Keep in mind, there will always be discussions and people asking you, but you can always say something in the lines of "I don't want to talk abt that, I'm ok DW" or just joke abt it. Remember that for the most part, people won't even notice, and if they do they'll be afraid to ask, or simply won't care enough. I'm proud of you, Internet stranger, you've got this <3
walk around naked ✨️✨️ (real talk i'd probably slap my dad)
I would stop thinking about everything that stops me from being myself and become a rapper someday Also, stop talking with people i only talk to because i fear being alone
Idk i’m lost in general
I would speak the unspoken words that not speaking it led me to my suffering and misery
I am already doing it. (I think)
Runaway from house or maybe learn to swim
We have an animal brain; it will sabotage us if we don’t make it comfortable in our environment. Being afraid is inevitable, but we can gain courage when our animal brain feels safe. After a while, once our human brain has enough experiences to build courage, it triggers bravery. Learn it.
Love.
I'd start all over again. This time live the way I want to and carve a path to an end that I'd want. I'd tell everyone in my life how I really feel about them and without asking them for their opinion of me, live without the need of others approval.
Tell Bailey she has such a beautiful soul
I would wear a sleeveless dresse.
