@ReservoirofLove

I wish I could allow myself to be hugged. I desired a hug every now and then but fear and triggers hold me back.

@WorkingitThrough2 awww I love virtual hugs, but not real life hugs too. So gives you a giant festive virtual tiny hug ❤❤ they are not scary hugs ❤

@Tinywhisper11

Thank you my dear friend, Sending you much Love❤️

@WorkingitThrough2

"I had a similar experience on my birthday a few days ago. My sister hugged me and wished me well, and it made me feel good. I realized that as babies, we were hugged, pampered, and loved all the time. However, as we grow up, that level of affection and attention isn't always there."

@ReservoirofLove happy birthday 🎂 I would send you a present but it's almost xmas, I'm not sending too... I'm not made of money. But here have a virtual present 🎁😁 open it... It's a giant piece of cheese🧀 yaaay! Birthday cheese ❤ your welcome

@Tinywhisper11

Oh, Thank you😍

I love the present too

I wish I had the courage to make life changing decisions. I mostly stay on the path I'm on because its comfortable and easy. I feel as though it's better to deal with the stressors you already are familiar with than change a situation and have to adapt to new and different set of stressors...if that makes sense.....I tend to turn down a lot of things that possibly could turn out better for me out of fear of the unknown in the change.

@CyclingThroughLife gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤❤ understands and sympathises with what you said ❤

@CyclingThroughLife

I really understand your thoughts on that. Opening ourselves to new and unfamiliar things can be good but also can open doors we are not ready to walk through❤️

@ReservoirofLove

What is one thing you wish you had the COURAGE to do? something which you were not able to do because of fear, lack of confidence, or something.

This is a great question and also very deep! Tbh no fear, lack of confidence is holding me back to do what I want to do but of course there is something I would like to do and that would be going to University to study psychology but the conditions are not right so I learn as much as I can at home.

@amiablePeace77 don't worry you'll learn more about psychology on this site, than in college😁 I'll be willing to be the nut you can practice on😁😁😁😁😁😁

@Tinywhisper11

You're the cutest nut I've ever met! 😃

@amiablePeace77 😂😂😂😂😂😂 thankyou

@ReservoirofLove 🤔🤔🤔🤔 skinny dipping in the river😁

18 days to go🎅🎅🎅🎅

I wish I had the courage to report the assault, attacks and abuse I experience. Cops say no proof, so there's no way. I wish I had the courage to change that system somehow and find a way to be safe.

@ReservoirofLove

Establish boundaries to protect myself.

@ReservoirofLove

Confront my binge-eating disorder and try to stop it <3

great question - for me it'd be public speaking. it's not that i *want* to do it per se but being able to interact comfortably with strangers opens doors to opportunities you wouldn't have if you stay silent.

i will say "do one thing every day that scares you" is a powerful mindset that i've started adopting into my life. eevn if the bigger stuff feels far off, i can start building confidence one step at a time.

@Heather225

I totally agree. People in my area say, "If you don't ask or express yourself, no one will offer."

Public speaking.

Not so long ago i could do this even though it caused anxiety. I did interviews, Sat on panels, and taught groups back then but even thinking about it now causes so much anxiety that it is terrifying. 

@ReservoirofLove 

Thank you for the tag, cool post! 

Lately I am trying to respect more my "personality", so if I feel uncomfortable in a situation I don't start thinking that I should be different or to act in a way that doesn't match with who I am 😊  

Basically I am doing the opposite work on myself: I am not fighting my fears . Once I sense that I am not judging myself negatively, I feel that fears become less impacting and often just fade away. 

I wish I had the courage to end my relationship.
