What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

Make new friends.

Not online friends but real time friends that I’d hang out with and do things with. That probably sounds crazy but I’ve been burned a few times and now I’m careful about who I let into my life. I keep my circle really small so I’m less likely to get stabbed in the back. Again.

The down side to this is that as of right now I have no one that would actually enjoy going to a goth concert with me, or to cosplay with. ☹️ I’ve surrounded myself with nice, dependable muggles that would never turn on me, but now I’m a little bored. 🤷‍♀️

Ah, well. I’ll live. At least I’m safe.

What would it take for me to make new friends? Probably some people coming around me that don’t have ulterior motives. I’m not saying I think people are horrible. I just know firsthand how hard it can be to really connect with someone.

  6. You are one brave soul, sharing your truth on here. Remember A. A. Milne’s quote from Winnie the Pooh– “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” I think no matter how much you put yourself out there, somehow finding real friends who understand is a once in a blue moon sort of thing. Maybe life is supposed to be that way.

  25. I totally feel you there. Yes being safe is a good thing. I used to be in the Goth scene and was pretty diehard until 2000 when the club I used to work at became trendy for people to hang out and view the freaks so to speak and it just bombed. Really great people but becoming a place to be viewed and not on the same page was the end of my Goth scene days and the people I knew and loved after I moved from San Francisco.

    It seems to be getting harder to meet people. It’s like the world is becoming more and more distant.

  31. Being safe is a great thing but being safe and alone is quite another deal. I’ve cut my circle down to a very small group and found that big or small there are people out there that will always have the knife pointed at your back, question is “When” will they use it? Really like your posts as I feel we think knida’ a like. Have a great day!
