Kicking social avoidancy to the curb: A tentative Part 1

Posted 10-07-2011 at 03:19 AM by Wings of Fire
So after missing all my lectures thus far this year, not unpacking after three weeks at my flat and waking up in a cold ridden daze at 6:30pm yesterday I decided I'd had fucking enough of this and was going to start being in control of my life again.

So this morning I

Brace yourselves

Whilst doing my morning shopping I

Wait for itttttt

Went outside without a coat or jacket on.

I know, pathetic right?

But this is huge. This is the first time in five years I've had the courage to go outside without wearing two layers of clothing (This might be a reason why I hate summer so much) and I feel it's a huge first step towards conquering the social avoidancy that started to set in when I was sixteen, really got going when I split up with my ex-girlfriend and became crippling as my nana was dying.

Next step is actually attending one of the clubs I signed up for at the start of this year.

PS: I shaved for the first time since May. I am beautiful. I hate my ability to grow a full facial beard.

PPS: I'm also learning how to cook after surviving for three years on microwave meals, instant noodles and pizza. It feels satisfying.

I am a happy bunny.

I know what you mean. It feels weird without a jacket. It has so many lovely pockets.

I have lots of troubles, I just tend not to air them in public because group sympathy is an emotional crutch, therefore counter-productive.

No offense. I do value your kindness.

I walked home at 11:45 in the night last winter, it was snowing and i had my leather jacket slung over my sholders whilst wearing only a threadbare T shirt, jeans and boots.

What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

I went through something like this once, and I know that it's a right bitch to snap out of. Congrats, and keep at it.

I don't really get the whole wearing clothes thing. I mean... you know what I mean.

All jokes aside... good for you! This is your last year of undergraduateness, if I've counted correctly, so you should go out and make the most of it.
