Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

Looking back on those days, given the power [...]

Social Phobia

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: Love can be an area of fear for many people, yet it is the paradise for others. Why would that be? It is the viewing, the seeing and the perception. QUOTE: 'The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.' (Richard David Bach) We all can easily say that in loving someone else we must be careful not to get hurt. But this very resistance to let ourselves go, prohibits any likely advancement and success in love. As we go through life we have an opportunity to gain from our experiences. If we can do this with a certain degree of success we can call this having WISDOM. This principle also applies to love, although agreeably the understanding isn't so simple. But nevertheless we can expect to use wisdom to guide us where necessary. We must learn to enjoy the moments we encounter together. As humans we have the skill to adjust our life, gain knowledge, gain experience and plot a more fulfilling loving relationship. We are the controller! If we cannot find the knowledge we need to move forward in our reasoning, we must trust in the 'allowing'. Allow events to happen and go with the flow. This encourages a freedom and ALLOWS a new experience to develop. Today's excerpt is one that plots the way to paradise. Discover whether this resembles your proposed route. MY HEART SPEAKS Ah, Paradise exists in so very many places. It can be found in a quaint little restaurant, dimly lit by candlelight; on a beach at twilight, with a dinghy's bell heard in the distance; it exists in a park, on a blanket, spread beneath the trees, with gaiety and laughter heard all around. It's a state of mind between two people that occurs when love - sometimes gently and quietly, sometimes with intensity and fervour - enters the threshold of the mind, and swiftly carries them into a warm, revered mood, and a locus* filled with awe. If you've never been to Paradise, it's Magic - the possibilities, limitless. To get there, you must close your eyes and open your heart; let the real you unfold and blossom. Once Paradise is discovered, your heart and soul will flourish and both will dance in jubilation. You'll see life in a way you may never have imagined. It's metaphorically flying... It's Euphoria. Paradise is a way of life between two and is a constant behaviour. It stays steady regardless of what life presents. It takes time and doesn't happen instantaneously. It must be nurtured and protected, by two mature people who realize life not only has great trials, but also offers tremendous joy, especially when shared. Yes, everyone wants the fairy tale - to be loved, and love that one special person they have been seeking their whole life. But very few are willing to share their heart and soul in the manner required and, initially perhaps, they don't realize when they've made that connection. We are a very quick people. We want instant gratification - we want soul connection and instantaneous love. When we don't get it, we, quite simply, forsake those who offer that which we seek because those offerings may not be readily apparent and take time to unearth. Instead, we choose to take the road most travelled, awaiting the next opportunity; we cling to the hope that Paradise might be found when we knock upon the next available door. Very few want to board the slow train to Paradise, because taking the slow train means being patient. It means not only offering our strengths to support the other's weaknesses but also accepting the other's strengths to provide a foundation for our own weaknesses. Taking the slow train means giving freely of ourselves and being open and willingly receptive to the offerings of others. Where does the slow train go? On a metaphorical flight - to Euphoria. Ultimate destination? Paradise. *Locus - a line, plane, or place, every point of which satisfies a given condition and which contains no point that does not satisfy this condition. (Tami C Ryan, October 20, 2002) QUOTE: 'As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the 'atomic age' - as in the being able to remake ourselves.' (Mohandas Karamchand Ghandi) [[ct]]: Social Phobia

Help me!! I think i have a social phobia!?
SORRY THAT IT'S SO LONG.. SORRYYYY :( At school i am not popular at all. People don't tease me or anything. I'm invisible. People probably look down on me and think i'm so inferior- if they even think about me at all (which im sure they don't, not in a good way anyway) I'm unnattractive.. i have eyes that are too close together, a nose that is long, wide and kinda shaped like a triangle, my face is round and chubby and my hair is short, poofy and wavy. This makes me so shy and I try and try to be pretty so people will like me, but it's no use.. i have no self esteem. Ok ill go over my issues I am REALLY self consious about my appearance and exessively groom myself. I get depressed and start crying if my hair looks bad/gets stuffed up during the day. One day my bangs got blown around in the wind and i started sulking and called my mum to come and take me home because my hair was stuffed and people will think how ugly i am. I always think people are looking at me and judging me. If someone glances at me on the street (when i'm having a bad day) I feel like i want to scream at them and slap them and say "What are you looking at @#$%!!?" I stay silent in class and only talk to my close friends. I don't like letting strangers hearing my voice because i think it's boy-like. I dread and hate any social interaction with non-best friends and i never put my hand up to answer a question in class. My leg shakes uncontrollably in class and i blush ALOT. I NEVER express my opinions and HATE eating in public. I always apologize excessively even when i do nothing wrong. Once i breathed on someone and i was like "sorry sorry sorry sorry" and i blushed and left the situation. I always memorize what i am going to say and stuff like that. I never start a conversation with someone i know and i hate walking around school alone with nothing in my hands. Whenever i go to the cash register i always thinks that the cashier will make fun of me for what i'm buying or think im a pig if i buy chocolate or items for other people. Once i was had no pen to use and i was in a class none of my friends or anyone i knew was in and i went the whole time without doing anything cause i was too scared to ask to borrow a pen. I hate looking in the mirror and avoid it unless im at home. Oh and the worst part, i was sitting i front of the person i liked at school and i was dying.... the leg tremors were uncontrollable, my face= scarlet, my heart rate= 140 (i checked lol), i had that sinking feeling in my stomach the whole time. Oh the torture. There is so much more issues but i dont want to make it monster long. Have you been through similar issue? Help please!

What should I do about this situation?
I'm been going to this school for long time ever sense I've been in the community that I live in sense 8th grade. I was not really the most prettiest person in the world to be blunt ,but I did have a good personality , but unfortunately people did not see that and only made fun of me because I was so ugly that it was funny. I've been going through this for going on three years of nothing ,but telling me I'm ugly or something leading up to showing me how ugly I am till the point I don't even know who I am or what I am. Alls I know is that I'm the ugly girl. I try so much to not to care I tell my mom how I feel but I know that my mom can't really handle me saying that I'm ugly everyday. The reason why is because my mom thinks in a way I'm telling her she is ugly sense she is my mom who birth me. every time I look into the mirror all I see is junk and leftover tears on my face..... I go to a counselor and all he says is that not having father is the reason why that I have self -esteem and social phobia to make it better (not). I am trying so hard to have a better out look on things but it is hard when you have people that you have to see almost everyday keep telling you are ugly and you are this while you are trying to become yourself. I can't find myself because there is always something holding me back. I feel like my life is a horrible train wreck that I can't stop. I am sorry if this sounds like some kind of rant but in way it is I just don't have anybody around me that understand or don't care to understand. I just don't know what to do can't kill myself I've already tired that EPIC FAIL is what you would say to that...... I'm lost and worst part is that I probably never going to move anytime soon.... urgh -___-
