Re: I need a reality check.
Hey Cat Woman....
No, I do not think you need a "reality check"! Just because others like the whole "western" way of living, it does not mean that you have to do the same as them.... it's all about what you feel comfortable with and how you would feel about yourself if you had done any of these things you metioned.
You said that you feel that once you hit 50, you may regret that you have not lived life to the full and not experimented in the things your friends have.... but say that you do try living your life the way your friends do, do you not think that you will regret it and will beat yourself up about it in years to come if you do something that you really do not agree with?
Be grateful and happy that your parents have given you great morals and values.... it shows that they love you... there are sooo many youngsters in today's society that have no values whatsoever and to be honest, it is quite disturbing!!!
You are NOT boring if you don't have a bf or don't go clubbing..... no offence to anyone that does love to go clubbing, but clubs are seriously full of idiots that are only after one thing..... ok, you do get the people that are out just to have fun and a dance etc but a lot a guys there are just looking for a bit of action!
Maybe try it once... there is nothing wrong with going clubbing.... just go out with your friends and see if you like it.... you don't have to go overboard... you don't have to wear the skimpy, non existent clothes or get drunk etc... just go out and have fun and see if you like it... atleast that way you can say that you've tried it and did / didn't like it.... and will have no regrets....
It doesn't matter what others think of you.... what matters is what you think of yourself....!!!! Do not lose your self respect for anyone!!!!
