    I don't know if I should go to church tomorrow. The way I feel now if new or old couples and married woman come up to me I might say something to them I will regret later.

    You are letting your biases get ahead of you. You have been having successes, especially with Yoga, and I think you need to remember those successes and open yourself to others. Yesterday the boy I am mentoring and I had a great discussion after this scene where the protagonist opens himself up to life and accepting the love of friends and family.

    I would hate for you to avoid an important part of your life. Just use the confidence you have earned to avoid prejudging people and open yourself up to life. do that and you will be prepared to open yourself to a relationship and perhaps a lover. Small steps . . . start with the people you may otherwise dismiss and grow from there.

    Thanks. It's just been extra hard this week to think positively. Yoga been helping. However today they are closed.
    Tony Ramirez
    I apologize to the leader of the Thursday life group after my saying last night during group that I want nothing to do with couples or married women. She said even though she is married I hope we can be friends.

    One of my best friends is a married woman.

    Same here. One of my best friends is a married man. The problem is I try to emulate him. He met his wife at lifegroup so when I go I expect the same. He says I need to change that though.

    Purge yourself of expectations, that is too ego driven. You must live in the present with the people available to you and appreciate every connection you can make.

    I had a private class and a private group session at the yoga studio because no one else showed up.

    Good for showing up.
    Did you do anything new?
    Tony Ramirez
    My yoga teacher said she is confident I will meet that special someone.

    I hope that this gives you confidence in noticing when somebody is interested in connecting and you can approach them.
    Tony Ramirez
    I been talking to my yoga teachers like I talk to my therapist and they are great at responding nicely and saying I am a good person.

    My mother says for my singleness. If it's meant to be its meant to be.

    That could be optimistic (acceptance over pining for what isn't), or it could be something else. I don't know your mom's personality. Try to take it as a positive and keep on improving

    I am listening to this song on repeat.
    I remember hearing it on the now defunct Kiss FM in high school my sophomore year in New York.
    Tony Ramirez
    It's senor citizen day at yoga class today. Really it's all old people except for one younger guy.

    Even though you know the masked individual will do you no harm,
    it still happens that you revert to the story that scares you. But you're
    working on it. You managed to stay in the class and try.

    You stayed through class. Sounds like you didn’t yell at him. You were exposed to your phobia and you survived. Keep this as evidence for next time.

    Forgot to say, but later in the class two younger woman showed up. One was friendly saying I was not in her way and smiled at me so that helped.
    Tony Ramirez
    I'm trying to be positive but life group tonight is a miserable experience hearing how three couples meet there spouses.
    Tony Ramirez
    Do you hate when certain NTs talk so much they won't shut up but when you talk your inturruped.
    Gerald Wilgus
    Gerald Wilgus
    Very much. I think NTs have perfected the skill of talking while inhaling.
    Tony Ramirez
    I blew two chances one yesterday and today to talk to an woman after yoga class after she was friendly and said hi. The other one had the same mat holder who she compliment me on.

    The issue is thar they were both attractive which makes it harder to talk too.

    The thing is I can talk to one of my yoga teachers who is very attractive and have good conversations but when I talk to her I sweat buckets everytime.
    Gerald Wilgus

    Never confuse attractiveness with worth. Because I thought myself ugly and unworthy, I felt intimidateed by attractive women. Little did I recognize that women look for more than attractiveness much of the time. The comedian, Red Green put it succinctly: "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

    My wellness group at the yoga studio is canceled because no one bothers to sign up. I was looking forward to it since last week. I wanted to expand my social circle past my church groups.

    I am going to Justin life group instead. Which is part of my church group.
    Tony Ramirez
    Unlike last night when I tried to socialize with a female student and two if them were rude and one gave me a weird stare. I talked to a woman after class and she was friendly. I knew she was as earlier she said hi and smiled at me so I knew approaching her after class she would be nice.
    Gerald Wilgus

    Way to go! You will surely encounter rude types and it is better to find out right off. Those that are pleasant and make connection easy are the reward for putting up with people carrying baggage. All it takes is meeting one accepting woman with harmonious interests. You are doing well.
    Tony Ramirez
    I am dealing with rude woman better with rejection. I had two who were rude at yoga class. One slammed the door in my face and when I talked to the other one she completely ignored me. But I did not let it ruin my day and my mood is good as I focus on the yoga. I also like talking to the teacher who is super friendly after class.

    This can be said about anybody so it's not a jab, but some women really have a vendetta against men. I'm glad you're handling it well and not taking it personally.
    Gerald Wilgus

    You have made great progress! With that attitude you may be making yourself more attractive to a serious, accepting, woman who appreciates people. I hope you run into one of those.
    Tony Ramirez
    A woman who knows me from church approached me at the park. Too bad that the guy who is lucky and clings to her also lives in my neighborhood. Probably her boyfriend by now.

    Literally clings to her? Like touching her?
    Tony Ramirez
    Tony Ramirez
    No but I always see them together. Even when she is by herself eventually he comes.

    He showed up about 10 minutes after talking to her.
    Tony Ramirez
    Has this happened to you go to talk to someone you know but it's the wrong person a stranger and you feel embarrassed. It happened today. The woman was confused.

    Do you have trouble with facial recognition? I do, so I hardly approach anybody first for that reason!

    She was Asian. So is my yoga teacher. Lot of them look the same.

    I got so tired of introducing myself to people and then discovering I already know them that I no longer introduce myself. I just say 'hey'.
