Yay for you for doing an exposure!

My T wants to get me to go to something like zumba or yoga or the gym on my own. I want to go with a friend, but so far none of my friends will commit to going. I just can't go on my own - I wouldn't return a second time. I have issues with trying new things in front of people, and I'm terrified of how red my face goes when I exercise - plus I do not like making mistakes, or having people wonder why I'm there on my own. I think when he told me that I said "Good luck getting me to do that" or something.

So instead I've been doing things that I have done before, but that still make me uncomfortable (like going to the theatre or to a restaurant on my own). Although I DID go and get a pedicure and was horrified while I was going through it and I can't say I enjoyed it at all, but I did get through it and I did not have a meltdown.

You'll stll always be you though, you know. Even if you change, it'll still be YOU.
