I find myself just not coming out with my ideas or insight within a conversation for fear of looking dumb.

I was not that much today.
But it was because the topic was just all over the same and the conversation (not me there!) seemed a bit artificial and forced. So I didn’t participate and I did it consciously. But it felt so strange to stay silent for over 20 mins not saying anything and not even yes‘ing or no‘ing_… So now I know that I made progress – one year ago it was just a standard situation with me :D

I was 13 months ago

Yes, I really was outspoken today. Although I had to force myself to be so. I spoke up my mind. Congratulations to me!

I'm planning 14 months ago

for a serious and big discussion… Need to engage 110% of my self-certainty and outspokenness available. And patience. I want to do it next week, so I’m preparing throughout the weekend.

Firstly, I’m getting rid of the anger:
Yes, I’m angry this time. But I know there are ways to let go, so no worry. Just need to work it through with my cosciousness.

Then, I need to put down all the questions I want to ask to clear up this f*’ mess. I can no longer bear the disrespect and avoiding the dialogue.

I want to ask clear questions and will push for clear and unequivocal answers.

Once I understand what I can do, I will continue (also here).

BE CLEAR 14 months ago

about what I want
and pay attention to my wording and pronounciation



Being more outspoken, as well as other things. 15 months ago

I want to be able to declare myself verbally in a more timely and confident maner. Caring less or not at all regarding how others perceive me when I’m stating an opinion, a story, or just plain ol’ conversation. I’m pretty humble, but at times around certain people (like authority figures or even parents in certain moods) at times I would feel intimidated. So yeah, change that.

not that good today 15 months ago

But I’m sick. I think it’s the reason.
Now all the energy spent out on recovering.
