Re:Is this what I have to look forward to? Beren: Is this what you have to look forward to? Pretty much. For the short run, anyway. It gets better, of course. If you try to see it as an adventure and a learning experience, it's much easier.
I've used my experience as a means to overcome my fear of rejection. Not that I'm ever going to learn to like it, but at least it's not going to stop me from trying. I still feel awkward and out of my element, but I no longer feel afraid.
You're just going through growing pains, man. You don't feel it yet, but you're becoming a better person. Believe it.
