Take a Chance

Featured Replies

boooo I suck at taking chances :disappointed: I'm such a coward :bigcry: :bigcry:

I wish I had better self-esteem, then I'd might take a few more chances once in a while

 

 

Me too. :\

I just over anaylize everything. Like, my friends have been trying to get me to talk to my crush for at least a month and I've had countless oppurtunities, but I'm just like, "OhmyGodwhatifhedoesn'twanttotalktomeohmygodIlooklikecraprightnowandwhatifIannoyhimohmygodhe'slookingatme!!!"

:laugh3: I swear to God I did that today. ^

But ask that girl out, Reilly. I talked to him today :shy: and I can tell you that you feel a whole lot better after you take that risk.

I make a note of asking someone out everyday or every other it normally works as well...but its the chances afterwards I dont take...

You're the perfect example of taking risks and having them pay off. I remember when you were wondering about moving to Spain, and you haven't stopped raving about how great it is since you got there. Good thing you took the risk.:D

:smug: Gracias...

And how are you tonight Tracie

I've been bettrer. Spring thaw has led to a basement flood. We've got most of the water out, but as the ice melts, there'll be more. I've either been mopping up or posting on here,lol. Thanks to the flood, I'm almost to 6,000 posts:lol: .

I took a chance yesterday!

 

...it ended with a mild concussion. :laugh3:

 

edit: Oh wait... it wasn't yesterday--two days ago! :laugh3:

^ AHHAHAHA!!!!!!!! :lol:

i wish i was better at it.

 

i tend to think about stuff start worrying and therefore i dont do things i really should. i'll regret it later because my situation wont change if i dont take risks.

 

i really gotta change this.

Some nuggets to reply to in here.

 

Is that library still open?!

 

I used to go to Primary School a few streets away from there. It's also next door to the pool where I learned to swim

 

 

I might pop in next time I'm in the area. I'll take a picture of you Reilly and say "hey, you recognise this guy?" and whilst I'm distracting her, my friend whom I bring along with me will be able to take multiple photos (with no flash on the camera, for ninja stealth reasons) of each possible view of her face and body.

 

 

Yes. Good plan, no?

 

Its not highly embarassing enough mate, I should probably go with you wearing a gorilla thong. Just the way you wrote 'face and body' just reminded me of how god damn good she is, I bet shes got a nice tan. There was another redhead girl working in there too that was pretty good, lets hope libraries in the North East continue this fabulous trend.

 

I dont think I saw a pool place, although I might not notice one generally, I think your childhood memories may have been crushed yo :confused:

 

*pumps fiat in air*

 

 

Reilly Reilly Reilly!!

 

 

 

how the hell are ya?

 

*Pumps fist like a fucking viking!*

 

Hey camuka! Long time little speech. I'm doing good. yo, get me a cuppa cawfee.

 

2 sugas.

 

Me too.

I doubt I'll see her again, like I said it was a rare reason to be in Fenham library but it was such a startling coincidence (Because I looooved her last year when she worked in city library) that I felt like I really had to take the chance.

 

But I did talk to her, only for a few minutes, she seemed busy but was nice about it. I felt quite good about it but I do try to take lots of chances like this one and I know for a fact that once you start doing it then you begin to stop over-analysing every situation.

 

I was pretty depressed for a few months, my own fault, drugs so, no sympathy for me. I was all hung up about past girls, friends, where I'm going in life, mainly it was the chicks that got me down. I ended up retreating, rarely trying new things, and getting caught up in a whirlwind in my own head.

 

Now things are going good, I'm social again and putting myself out there.

 

When things go wrong from taking a chance it can knock you off your feet the first time. But if you take lots of (Well thought out) chances you'll begin to find its worth it, and when something wrong happens or if rejection in love is the result you'll find you can cope with it and deal with just about anything.

 

The problems in my head that used to engulf my universe have been shrunked down to the size of a single Dutch pea, and even if its a large one (Those crazy Dutch bastards!) you can still manage to fit it inside the Ghostbusters Ghost Trap, regarde:

Look at this fine upstanding member of society, take a page from his book.

 

How are ya Daryl, hope Catalunya is treating you well.

HAHAHAHAHA! That was just brilliant, Im lost for words.

 

i really gotta change this.

 

Hey Sally, and yes you do. Unfortunately unlike most things, its not a matter of taking baby steps, people's confidence get crushed when you start to build yourself up in tiny little ways and situations and then when you actually try something a bit risky and it doesnt turn out good, you'd be crushed.

 

There's a difference between Taking STUPID Chances and Taking wise ones, plan it out enough so that you know what you're doing, you know the realities of the consequences, and that you havent planned it out too much.

 

Haha, its tricky aint it.

 

C. says:

Is this true?

 

In my totally not humble opinion, that attitude is reserved for people I know that have developed some mental problems and in one case even suicide. My cousin especially used to sit in his house for years because it got so bad, and then it got to the point where he needed professional help just to get back into the workforce.

 

And I know that seems like the extreme response and you may not have wanted me to take your words so literally, but that is literally[i/] what happens when you:

This view makes me a sad panda

So lets not end this on that note (Hey I wasnt looking at the keyboard and just wrote 'bite' instead of 'note' what a world eh?)

 

Lets get positive!

Now that's the biggest Reilly's post I've seen in my life.

  • Author

Me and Ren were writing like 10,000 word essays as responses to eachother when we got in an argument once.

 

Good times, good times.

Reilly,

 

What if the photo of you was in a gorilla thong, and three seconds after showing her the picture, you jump through the door wearing a suit, rip it off to reveal gorilla thong and shout "that's me!" and stand like this.

 

That way we are sure to have the entire library notice you. And the girl in question will be overwhelmed, if not by the thong, but by the strength you showed by ripping off the suit.

 

(It has buttons on the side.) ;)

 

Yeah: This is your pose. Stick man as I'm not comfortable drawing gorilla thongs on men. ( i was once attacked by a gorilla thong wielding man.)

true.. i dont even think its a lack of confidence in that way. theres certain thing i can do, like i'm usually able to speak to people if i really want to.

 

but i'm at a stage of my life now where i know that i really got a make huge changes because my current situations extremely depressing. but i spend way too much time thinking about possible consequences which makes it very hard for me to act.

 

i feel like leaving home just now because we've got some huge conflicts, my boyfriend lives abroad and so do many of my friends and most of the ones in my country moved to different areas. however my father doesnt want to let me go and i know he certainly wont support me if i went to uni [even though theres a law which obligates parents to support you if they've got a certain income] and i expect him not to speak to me again for years. leaving is a huge risk apparently but i seriously feel like i have to change my situation. but theres something which holds me back and i hate myself for it because i know i'm responsible for my situation.

 

i'm trying to figure out whether its about taking stupid chances but i dont think youll know until youve actually tried it.
