Doing stuff out of your comfort zone can be good.

Just going to be a short post here. So if you follow me on here or Youtube you know I'm kind of an introvert. So today I'm working out in my yard doing some yard work and playing with my dogs and there's a knock at the door.

I should mention I recently moved into my house and a few new neighbors have recently moved in as well. Anyhow, the new neighbors across the street are around my age. Today their mother stopped by and rung my door bell and invited me and my girlfriend over for some sandwhiches and a couple beers.

Being a bit socially awkward and a bit of an introvert this is in many ways my worst nightmare. That said I wanted to be neighborly so agreed. My girlfriend is very much so the same way as me so after she finished having her mini little panic attack she agreed to go over with me.

I ran out to the store and bought a sixer of the Sweetwater 420 and nervously headed over there. I actually wound up having a great time, met a bunch of my neighbors I hadn't known before and the couple across the street is actually very nice, the girl it turns out went to the same high school as me and I could definitely see myself hanging out with them and having some beers with them this summer. Now comes that awkward moment when I have to find out if they smoke weed lol.

Anyhow, just wanted to make a quick post, life begins at the edge of your comfort zone. I'll have to keep that in mind more often.

As a fellow introvert I can empathize with you. I am glad you got the courage to go and you had a great time! a win-win

Hey buddy thanks, yeah I think it's these little victories that give you the courage to step outside your comfort zone even more. I'll have to start doing more of it.

I've always been more social while my wife was not. Kinda created awkward social situations for years until she got better with it. Always good to do things out of your comfort zone. That way if something uncomfortable does come about you already have lots of experience under your belt! Great job!

Nice post bro I can totally relate being a bit introvertish myself. Sometimes having one of those beers beforehand can help ease the anxiety :o)
