You get nowhere in life playing it safe, being just in your comfort zone.
I want my life to change. However, I am scared of pretty much everything. Most things carry a risk of failure and rejection and that scares me.
I occasionally do really courageous things and it does get easier, but I forget my strength and courage at other times.
I am going to be really brave. Every day I will do something that makes me uncomfortable and uneasy. Not dangerous life threatening things, just things I don’t want to do.
This is how I will build up my confidence, get used to dealing with rejection and change my views on the world to more realistic ones.

I have a few good friends and loads of acquaintances but I go through long times without seeing people.
I live alone and this makes me depressed.
I feel that I lack the self confidence to organise meeting up with friends. I feel that people don’t like me or are doing me a favour.
I would love to have a gang of good friends who I could see often and support and in turn be supported by.
I think I am a nice and fun and interesting person, but I am also overly studious and shy and competitive.
I find it very hard to initiate contact with people and to make the first move. Especially with guys.
I want to end the year with a bigger group of friends and strengthen links between the friends I have.
I don’t want to be alone on the weekends any more. I don’t want babysitting to equate to a social life and study to be an excuse for one.
I don’t want my excuses of the expense of going out or hosting parties or fear of rejection to stand in the way of being connected to people and in a community and happiness.
I need to work on this goal ASAp.
Any tips would be most appreciated!

I have long hair but I want it to grow REALLY long.
Mine is curly an reaches to my cleavage but I want really really long, preferably waist length hair.
However, even though I don’t cut it much, I can never get it to grow faster and longer.
I don’t straighten it or use harsh products. I eat ok, I’m not malnourished.
What would help?
Special food? Special scalp massage? Exercise?
WIll I ever be able to grow my hair really long? I heard it was genetic about the growth phase of individual hairs that people have?
Should I get the dr to check my Iron and other levels of nutrients as I also feel tired all the time?
Thanks does anyone else have a similar problem?
