You were right.

[Tony Ramirez]

I once again attended the event at my local park again but this time I sat where they were setting up. I approached and they gave me a name tag when they started.

It was a big event with music. People approached me. I approached attractive woman who were friendly to me. One even said that she was afraid to approach the first time too. I even ran into one of my yoga teacher. I had a good time. They do these events ones a month and occasionally on Saturday.

What I am saying is sitting on the other side was the reason I was ignored during past events. It was not because they hated me or they were not interested in me.

This is good news! Sometimes the simplest changes can have a butterfly effect. This is so good to hear!

(Or is it ripple-effect? I think that's what I'm going for!)

 

[Tony Ramirez]

Doing yoga is making me approach people especially woman more easily.

 

[Metalhead]

I am glad to read this. You deserve better than what you believe. Believe it or not, I once had the same problem when it came to approaching other gay men.

 

[Tony Ramirez]

It's getting easier.

 

[AdamG]

I'm so glad you have become more confident, and I'm sure the yoga has helped a lot.

 

[Tony Ramirez]

I just don't understand what @Markness goes through thinking people are mean at him. Most people I approach to socialize with are friendly.

 

[kenaij]

Very Nice to hear Tony! Hope you have many more experiences like this with future events!

 

[Aspychata]

I think we internalize and blame ourself, when sometimes it's completely a different reason then we can understand.

 

[Misery]

Hey, that's really great to hear! I'm happy for you. I hope you get to have more experiences like this soon.

 

[Rodafina]

Happy to hear about your optimism, Tony. It’s good for us to share the good things and witness each other’s successes.

You did a good job.
I'm glad people are being nice to you.
I find it hard to open up to others as well.
It is hard for an autistic with a sensitive heart, I have bpd and cptsd too.
People can be so mean and standoffish, it is good when they surprise you.
I am like that too, I just want everyone to be nice to me but struggle a lot with things being masking as well.

I think as well as basking in the glow of enjoying the results it's important you give yourself a bit of praise for effort. You took a chance on something you weren't sure on. That took guts. You might not always get the outcome you hope for, so get used to saying to yourself "good job me".

 

[Tony Ramirez]

I been taking a lot of chances this year. It's been working out.

Hooray hurrah!!

Working on being a better version of you by going to yoga, may actually be you now projecting more confidence, and people with confidence are considered more desirable to others.
