RT Wolf: I've done a few little things like go out and inquire about courses I could do. To begin with I was scared, but I managed to go through with it and now I feel a little more confident. To do the same thing again would still be challenging, but I know I can do it. I'll definately try the stuff you've suggested. Thank you again for the advice.

Stayfly: Getting a job in a video game store might be good to help with my social skills. If I was a confident guy I'd go up and talk to women that interested me and be able to make them laugh and have a great time with them. It'll be great if I can reach that level.

SimonaRich: I have one problem with affirmations. Don't they involve lying to yourself? I want to be fully aligned with truth, love and power and affirmations seem to be aligned with falsehood.

Scorpio: I've started looking for volunteering oppurtunities with working with children. This might help my social skills and I find children less threatening than people my own age.

BeyondtheWrap: Yeah, I do have a limiting belief to work on. Do beliefs really change your life? Hmm, maybe a better belief would be, "I can move through my fear to accomplish my goals."
Who is a normal person? What is "normal" anyway?

Alexi: Any examples you can think of?

Eric Roosevelt: I've started to learn how to cook so I'll be able to eat a more varied diet. Basically I need to get out of my comfort zone?

kayumochi: I'm a 25 year old guy. Advise away.
So otaku in Japan are Hikikomori?
I could do a seven day trial of not watching anime or reading manga and see how that goes, but I think the problem is loneliness and boredom. Anime and manga currently fill that void. It's not the best way and it's ultimately unsatisfying, but it works, if only temporarily. However, otaku doesn't sound like an appealing future to me. Living my life through anime and manga is not satisfying me. I want to live my own life, have my own experiences and find fulfillment and inner and outer success.
Your log in seems Japanese as well. Why did you choose a Japanese log in?
