My 20% blog Week 6

One of the best ways to get out of our comfort zone as humans is to face your fears. However facing your fears can be a challenge to most ordinary people. Only a handful of people are able to face their fear without really having a second thought about it. Taking chances and risks is also a great way to break through your comfort zone. Taking risks can be intimidating because it involves you doing things that you would never normally do. That is what our project is focusing on, we are trying to show people how to get out of their comfort zone by doing exactly this. The best way to do this is just try something weird. Do something embarrassing on purpose this will help you to become used to getting over awkward moments and continuing on quickly. Being with a friend is also helpful when you do things of this sort, because it will give you more confidence when someone you know is by your side.

Miguel's 20% Project Week 5

This week we were able to research other people's blogs about the same topic. We found out that most of the information, about social interactions, is about the same. Most of what they are focusing on is telling people to try to overcome their fears, and to think positively. Shy people usually feel like they are under a spotlight and constantly being watched. This means that doing things that you wouldn't normally do will actually put you under a spotlight. Some people get hyped up by things like this and they feed off of it. Embracing opportunities to meet new people will also help you find new friends and have an easier time being yourself. Having a few good, meaningful friends is always a better option than having a couple hundred people as friends when some don't even know you. However the best thing to do is to always be yourself, if you do this then you will have plenty of friends that trust and care about you.
