Recently I discovered my Parkour academy's website has a forum page. I noticed that one of these threads was a typical "Introduce yourself" threads. The latest post on these forum pages was posted over a month ago. I had felt compelled to post an introduction for myself, but always felt too anxious to follow through. That was, until I made an account.
A little information on me, I had been going to the academy for a couple of years now, but I'm very seldom verbal. Whenever I am verbal I tend to be quiet and speak very few words. I guess I just always felt uncomfortable, intimidated even, being around people who I felt were a lot more confident than me. So when I wanted to create an account I kept thinking to myself "What would other people think of me?", then never did it. Well, the day came where I said screw the fears and properly introduce myself. Even if the audience I am making the post to doesn't read it, it still felt like a big step forward in getting out of my comfort zone.
The next time I went to the academy, I noticed I was starting to be a bit more verbal. I feel soon enough I will start feeling more comfortable with the people in the gym. Already I feel like I'm no longer an outsider there.
