Yes, for me it's speaking with women.
It has vastly improved over the years but still quite bad.
Also speaking to people in general, I find my conversations very quickly die.
Which wasn't the case in my teen years. |

I've done it since I was at school, when I realised that generally there was nothing holding me back, except for me. So I used to do things just for the fun, of I was scared or thought I couldn't. My no, meant yes.
I'm now a little more measured, sometimes taking smaller steps and to repeat things a few times, to build up my competency.
I've got an active imagination and use it. Rehearsal can make most things easier.
I also ensure that I'm happy to be a little uncomfortable or to just enjoy the excitement of being on the edge.
In daily life of there's something I want to change, I'll incorporate novelty in my routines, as it seems to really help me switch and change much faster and easier |

"Is it something you try to do? Does it work for you? How do you go about it? (deliberately vague questions) "
If it's something I want to do then yes I will try and try. I asked for help, got it, and now I try to help others because my comfort zone has now expanded thanks to my helper so I try to pay that forwards.

First of all, (in my best Yoda voice) “do or do not, there is no try).
When I feel uncomfortable about doing something i either ask myself, ‘what would happen if I did do it?’
Or, ‘what’s stopping me?’.
Both tend to unearth a limiting belief, |

that's the thing really things often have a more positive outcome than we feel they may and that can feel really good |

I feel comfortable in most situations if that's dressing up in a ball gown or wearing welly boots. I'm very social and dont find talking to people a problem male or female in the real world. Doing the jobs I've done you have to. However I'm also a loner, happy on my own and very unsocialable. At the moment I'm not sure if I'm sat within my comfort zone or just cant be assed. |

I personally hate my comfort zone, it’s like if you walk down the same path you always arrive at the same place and never learn anything new.
So I do push it, uncomfortable at times but the exhilaration of pushing through. |

"Life begins where your comfort zone ends "
Agree wholeheartedly! If you enjoy what you already know then great....but there was a time before you had ever tried what you currently enjoy so try everything once and see what else is out there ! |

I've had so many firsts in the last 6 months; I'm going for it - pushing all boundaries and open to ideas... And I'm having a whale of a time!
I'm not saying it's easy, I just do it anyway.
Life really is too short  |
