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

How I did it: twitter really helped. abit of pseudo anonymity, and short 140 char outrage forces you to be succint. plus it's totally acceptable to vent out all the crazy thoughts in one short go. highly recommended. Read how I did it…

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

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

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).

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

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