I enjoyed listening to everyone share their thoughts and feelings. It is amazing how we may think we are so different from one another yet we found that we have many similarities. It was very refreshing. I am a little bummed I could not bring myself to let go and open up more than I did but nonetheless, I still enjoyed the change.
Did anyone else feel like they wanted to speak but was too shy to?? [I hope I wasn't the only one =( ]
One more thing... to the girl who shared her pain about her doggy:
I have a dog of my own who I love to death and I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her. So on that note, I do know that you are hurting. Your story brought me to tears that I fought very hard to hold back in class. Stay positive and I hope she will be ok. =)
I'm just as shy as you are. There are times when I feel like voicing my opinion in class but the very thought of raising my hand makes my heart race. I think it has a lot to do with how I feel others will react to my opinion. Maybe I care too much about what others think. I hope one day I will be able to overcome my fear of speaking in public. For the meantime, I will do my best to let go of my insecurities that stem from some place I can't recall.
ReplyDeleteI really appericate that people feel the pain i feel for my dog. People around me suggested to put her down and that never crossed my mind. I know that we both are going to have are ups and downs but I will do everything in my power to help her feel better. When I first started talking about it i was fine i didnt think i would cry. I have cried but alone in my room away from everyone. I hope you get a chance to open up in class because it sure does feel good to open up to people who are not your family or friends.
ReplyDeletewhen I was in college, I would not say a word - not one word - in college classes. I was too shy.
ReplyDeleteTRUdell, you basically described me! we are exactly alike! lol i always tell myself that i will try but my fear is much too strong. =/ it is comforting to know there are others who are like me on that aspect, and can relate to me. thanks for the feedback =)
ReplyDeleteNd JJ85,
ReplyDeleteI understand why people may suggest that. They don't want you or your dog to be in pain. But I agree with you, I could never do that to my dog. This may sound selfish but i love her too much to let her go, especially if i had control over it. It seems you are the same way also. =) Keep giving her the love! (:
Thanks, i hope one day i can do it.
It is funny how our shyness stops us from doing or saying many things. Yet, we do not realize how similar we all are. Most of us our also shy..
