Afraid... Help?
I'm too afraid to go to the track to run alone. I just moved here about a month ago. I had leg braces for two years so I walk/run weird sometimes. I'm embarassed and very out of shape. What do I do?
Run. If people are unhappy with the way that you run, feel free to blame me and tell them I said to 'politely' go away and go soak their head.
People have absolutely right to make you feel uncomfortable, unless you are being a jerk-- which you obviously aren't.
Try and hold your head up high and think, "I got out of bed this morning. That is more than many were able to do, for various reasons."
Try not to let yourself feel angry about them. Anger, in my opinion, is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. You are the only one affected by your anger, not them. You can think of them as a gift. If it weren't for them, you would never get the opportunity to deal with small minded people that have nothing better to do than to judge another. (Even the Roman Catholic Pope has said, "Who am I to judge what love is?") Whether or not you agree, is beside the point. He is a well-educated man who, as a member of the clergy, was thought highly enough to be chosen by the College of Cardinals to serve as the Pope.
Try not to worry about what others think about what you do that is effecting a positive change in your life. If the Pope doesn't feel it is his job to judge, how is it their job to judge you for running?
Try not to be embarrassed about what you do, I'd be more embarrassed about what I don't do! I could be a much better husband, father, and son to my mother. I'm could do a lot more to ensure that I am alive as long as possible for my children. At least, I try. Perhaps I'll do more tomorrow.
I sincerely hope you are well, and I hope to see your posts again.
I'm scared of spiders and people being mad of me or is gonna yell at me I'm too afraid to move even new places.
