I don’t really like doing something which is not me and I haven’t really done before. Basically something which is out of my comfort zone.
But I want to know how do you guys push yourself to do something new which is not you. I wanna push myself to do this because I do wanna try new things and not be this boring person who never does. What I hate though is I constantly think ‘what will people say of me’ or ‘what will they think’ and this puts me off..did I mention I lack a bit of confidence as well
I would try to do it, but not put too much pressure on myself. It has to stay a pleasant experience. So if it was too distressing then I would not force myself.
Instead you can take it easy by taking small steps towards it. Until you are confident enough to carry it out fully (sort of like exposure).
well somebody once told me, if you don't ask...the answer will always be a no (pretty sure they heard it from someone else, too..but point being...just do stuff man!)
I have Free Will. Free will does not just means doing what you want to do, but also doing things that must be done, even if you don't want to do them.
You cannot make every one happy. No matter what you do, there will be people who will find something to complain about. Allah Ta'ala is al Hakam, only his judgement matters.
I find contradictory statements in your post. at one place you are saying you don't like doing something which is not you and at other place you are saying that you do want to try new things.
does this mean that you want to do only those new things that can be done without leaving your comfort zone?
Talk about building up confidence and being positive you guys..
