3 Reasons to "Put Yourself Out There"
"Putting yourself out there" can entail many different scenarios. Maybe you're looking for a group of friends, love interest, or a new business endeavor. No matter what the reason is, one quality will be necessary to do the deed. Confidence. Scary, right? But it is ALL about confidence. Don't have it? That's okay because most people don't! Here's your new mantra: Fake it till you make it. I use this mantra probably more than I should, but I swear it works! It may scare you to death, but it's basically full proof. Here's a list of reasons why it won't be so bad once you put yourself out there.
1. You will NEVER know until you try.
It is no fun to play it safe. Scared of regrets? #NORAGRETS You're only regret would be never trying. You don't want to be that person in 15 years saying "I should've, I could've..." Do you reaaaaally have much to lose? I'm willing to bet you're an amazing person who needs a slight dose of confidence and a friendly push. Don't let the opinions of others stop you from doing what will make you happy. In the words of P!nk, "you gotta get up and try."
2. The reward will be worth it.
True happiness isn't going to fall into your lap. Putting yourself out there can open so many doors for you. You are exploring a new world, giving you a chance at a better life. What an incentive!
3. You're not alone.
Everyone is afraid to put themselves out there. Unfortunately, no one else can do it for you. The human race has an innate fear of rejection. In reality, rejection isn't as scary as it seems. So someone tells you no? Boohoo. It's their loss! You are amazing, and there is someone out there who values what you stand for.
