I need to develop some outside interests so I can meet people.

My biggest, and probably only, roadblock is getting over the apprehension of trying something new and possibly failing horribly at it. The perfectionist in me wants to be good at everything from the get go, and the idea of not being able to do that keeps me from trying anything new at all.

I'm afraid of being looked down on for not being as good at something as someone whose been doing whatever it is for a long time. I don't want my ignorance of a subject to show. Or my lack of creativity.



Anyone else deal with this and know how to get over it?
