30 Days Blogging Challenge Part -1 Day - 6| Moving forward
Hey everyone, it's the 6th day of the blogging challenge. I know I have skipped 2 challenges. Well, I only get time to do one post a day, sometimes even 1.5days. Days are kinda busy though. And during the weekend I try to watch a movie or two and talk to my friends as I don't get to do that rest of the week. So enough about it. Let's go for the Blogging Challenge Part -1 Day – 6.
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
So, I was reading what @gabrielazamora10 wrote in her article Day 6 |30 Days Blogging Challenge [Es/En] that she's quite afraid of thieves and the situation in Venezuela isn't very stable. Believe me, if I get into those situations, I'll be terrified as hell. And it got me thinking about what exactly I'm afraid of. I couldn't figure out what exactly I was scared of.
Every time I have faced something that could scare me, I could always get over it in a few seconds. I once remember running away from a fight between political parties when I was a teenager, but I don't remember being afraid or nervous in that situation. But there's something that I know I'm scared of and that is Public Speaking or Stage Fright.
I know I look very confident, right? I actually am. Even during a presentation, I can keep a very confident temperament, but deep down my heart will be beating like a rock'n'roll session. I know it makes sense a lot. Even if I'm called out to talk in between a few people and/or introduce myself, I get very nervous. But you know what, my fear of speaking out in public is hardly ever shown.
I talk fast, in general. I talk fast when I'm arguing about something, I talk fast when I'm super excited, I talk fast when I'm afraid and nervous. I guess my emotions play a big role in the way I verbally communicate and that's why maybe nobody can actually figure out that if I'm nervous or excited. I have done so many project presentations during college that I think I have sort of figured out how to cover up my nervousness or calm myself down but still, sometimes I feel like I am nervous. But you know what I do in those situations? I step forward, I speak out even if my heart is beating like a drum. And as I keep talking, I calm down slowly and get back to my normal self. Yes, my peppy self.
Diamonds are refined by passing them through intense heating and I understood what @dwixer has meant. Not two people are the same and so we can't expect that their struggles will be the same. But no matter what, we have to get over it and move forward.
30 Days Blogging Challenge
Yesterday I was talking about my struggles, not all of them, but I'm hardly nervous when I'm facing adversity; losing my nerve is not an option there. I think the ones who read my posts are accustomed to the fact that I'm very cheery and I try to make people laugh. I laugh harder when I see someone else laugh. _This is one of the reasons that I try to title my posts positively. So, even if I'm afraid you know I'll always get over it and move forward. Isn't that what really matters? Guys? Should I get another meme today?
Chandler Bing making his way here. Ahh, I have lost count of how many times I have seen the series, especially the first 6 seasons. So guys this is it for today. Thank you so much.
You always get me laughing when reading your posts.
I won't say that I have fully overcome stage fright but I have it once a while even though I play my guitar on stage in front thousands of audience. Though, I don't usually get nervous but comes once a while and unexpectedly.
I like that you are visiting the posts of your fellow newbies. That's good of you. I am still expecting the goals post from you.
That's what I'm working on right now and will be posting soon. I'm glad that you got a laugh out of it 😂
Come to think of it, we are afraid when we think about things. When it is our turn to face it, we draw strength from within and overcome it...
Courage to overcome fears!
We learn a lot from each other. And also get hints on how to cope up with our fears. Thank you so much
