overcome my inhibitions

I suppose this is several goals in one. I used to talk about this a lot. I once got a fortune cookie that told me “You will overcome your inhibitions,” but I don’t remember if that was before or after I started talking about it. I made a list of what I identified as my inhibitions a few years ago and I found the list recently. I believe I can cross a couple of them off of the list now. These were them:

• I have difficulty connecting my states of self and areas of my life.

• I care what other people think of me.

• I am too eager to please others and not eager enough to satisfy myself.

• I have communication issues. (i.e. a lack of communication)

• I am too afraid of getting hurt to let anyone in. I torture myself by distancing myself from people I care about because if I let them mean too much to me, losing them will hurt more. In effect, I lose them because I am so afraid of losing them.

• It is super hard for me to admit I am wrong or don’t understand something or know all the things other people know.
