The title of this thread intrigues yet confuses me. Explain? :p
Last night I put the moves on someone I've had a small crush on. The results were mixed. But I felt proud of myself. I usually just keep that stuff bottled up and try ignoring it. Nice little confidence boost I guess :)
Well a few months back I got an airplane and flew alone to the other side of the world. It was pretty scary and I was worried that I was going to miss a connecting flight and end up stranded somewhere. Anyways it all actually turned out okay :)
I don't really know that I see things as brave or not anymore. I seem to do things knowing I have to do them, not because it's brave or not, but because it's the right thing to do. Still, there is one thing. I recently told someone something I didn't think I'd ever tell anyone again. It was really hard, I was shaking when I did it. So I guess you could say that the bravest thing I've done is trust a friend completely, even with that last little percent. And for me, that's notable.
You still keep that stuff closed up, man? I've been telling anyone who'll listen that we had sex. :erm:
Yeah, but I've only told a few people of who I was cheating on you wi-- ...oh, trout.
It's not brave really, but it does take some amount of effort for me. I'm trying this new thing where I look strangers in the eyes. It's kind of a default thing for me to avert my gaze, you know in random situations like when someone walks into an elevator with you, or you happen to hold a door open for someone, or even just when you're paying for your groceries. I'm trying very hard these days to look people in the eyes, and smile/nod/etc. And also with beggers/pandhandlers. I used to just look away, and these days I will look them in the eyes and either give them something, or politely decline while still looking at them straight on rather than looking away.
It is freakin' hard. But I'm getting better at it!
I refuse to believe that it is somehow brave to out your sister while wasted, even if she was relieved at the outcome. Running your mouth off when you've had too much to drink and may be feeling vindictive is very different from facilitating a family discussion where you support your sibling addressing a sensitive issue that she is ready to work through.Quote:

High fives all round for self-improvement, you guys!
Yeah!! Whoo! Ho fives all around.
The thread title comes from no ballsing somebody to do something. Kinda of like a double god dare. 'No balls you won't ask Susie out.' That kind of thing.
it's silly and it makes me laugh when I read it xD
I could have sworn it was a guy yelling at his balls not to do something bad, like playing with all the action figures in the toy aisle at the store and then leaving them on the floor.Quote:
