Ia playing it safe all the time really that bad?

I like to play it safe but my friends love to be naughty and they feel good about it. They flat out told me that I need to loosen up a bit and stop playing it so safe all the time and its BORING.
They tell me adults can have fun too and most love to be naughty. My best friend said, "Even our parents love to get naughty. That's more fun than playing it safe all the time. Plus it's fun to "argue" and agreeing with everyone is so unrealistic. Imagin life without disagreeing with my friends. LAME."
Even my parents said to take risk but be smart about it and don't be soo nice all the time.
I prefer to olay it safe. Even my 11 year old cousin roasted me saying I'm so boring people should have read a book before meeting me." And others. Kids are mean

my take on this ... just be who you are and enjoy it. check out you tube for posts on the Stoic philosophy. you will learn that it's perfectly OK not to live your life in imitation of others.

best of luck to you!
If it works for you but theres only so much 'playing it safe' you can do before you end up being forced to take risks because if you don't you can get stuck in life.
Nothing can exist without chaos, perfection and safety are myths but when you absolutely know you'll get yourself killed if you do this then yeah, obviously don't do it

Of course it isn't if that is what you choose for yourself. Others need to live their own lives and stop dictating.

No one has the right to inflict their choices upon us. There is peace in allowing others to be.

What's inside of you? Is there something screaming for liberation and you're repressing it? If so, stop now, because it is damaging you. If you are content, carry on.

@EmotionalMotherlessWoman1988 I thought I was very clear. If you are happy with the way you conduct yourself in response to your urges and feelings then carry on that way. If not, and you are repressing urges, then reconsider. There are only so many ways I can say the same thing.

@EmotionalMotherlessWoman1988 Good luck. There is no right or wrong. Destiny is inside all of us. BUT, remember, we have ONE life to live, make sure you enjoy it to the max and take all that it offers you (and then a bit more) 😄

I too like to play things safe all the time, but every once in a while i like to take a small risk or step outside of my comfort zone. I think it's kinda necessary to do it in order to get to know ourselves better and grow

It is your choice. But in my opinion, there’s nothing wrong as well to be spontaneous. To at least try once. Don’t like it, then stop.
