10 Things I want to do

Or maybe I should call it: 8 Things I want to do because they might help me expand my horizons and open up a bit more on my own terms.  Basically this is just a collection of things that terrify me and might help me be a better person.

1. Go to a movie alone.  (I can't even begin to describe the issues I have with even the idea of this)

2.  Go to the store by myself and at least say hi to a few people with a smile.  (Usually I'm just super closed off with a mean look on my face because I hate everyone)

3.  Learn a song on the piano or guitar that I can play for other people.  (no explanations needed here)

4.  Go an entire day without my phone or my computer or T.V.  (this is because I constantly feel the need for some sort of distraction and hours of silence might be nice)

5.  Call one of my Salt Lake friends and go visit them.  (This is just out of my comfort zone but going somewhere that makes me uncomfortable with people I'm not used to seeing anymore will help me be more adventurous) 

6.  Listen more instead of talking (This doesn't scare me but I am working on it)

7.  Tell a new person every week how much they mean to me.  (I don't like to express that type of thing, at least not without a lot of sarcasm and joking)

8.  Go on a few walks by myself.  (I love walking with other people but I usually get so uncomfortable and stiff that I can't enjoy myself when I'm alone.  Partly because I only like walks at night and that makes me feel like everybody I pass is worried that I'm a mugger, and partly because I'm self conscious)

Well there you go, 8 things that scare the living hell out of me.  I hated making this list and I seriously wonder how I will ever do some of them.  But oh well, it's something to work toward.  If you have anything like this that gives you anxiety, then leave a comment fools!
