I read something the other day that REALLY helped me with this. It said we must allow people to make the mistakes they need to make in order to learn the lessons they are predestined to learn in their lives. I believe we all have lessons we are here to learn. So, it really helped me to think that when I see people doing stupid things that I feel the need to be judgmental about that I should instead look at it as the path they need to be on in their life to learn the lessons they are meant to learn. It really helps!
In December I went out and met some friends at a restaurant/ bar/ reunion alone. I really didn’t have any anxiety about it at all. In fact I wanted to go alone. My mom was shocked. She said you’re going alone?? You sure have made progress! That made me feel proud!
