Well, I was going to come out from under my rock today, but...

I imagine the traffic is going to be bad. I won't find a parking spot. The mall will be crowded. I won't find the clothes I'm looking for. I will feel like poo in the fitting room looking at myself in the mirror. I will be nervous with the people who work at the store. PEOPLE WILL BE WATCHING ME!!!! people will be judging me. :( It is easier to just stay inside in my comfortable bubble.

Next time take a chance and keep score; I bet some of those things won't be as bad as you predicted and maybe some good surprises will happen.

But even if all that happened, even if any and every negative expectation turned out to be true (unlikely), you'd still have a reason to feel good: you tried to burst your bubble.

So if it's not too late already, consider giving it a go. ;)
