Goals have helped me out a lot in life so far. I use to be someone no one could stand! All I cared about was sex and drugs. I was someone no one wants to be. With goals I have pulled myself out of that life and into a new way of living. At the moment..life's weird. I have no friends and my family's left me. So I'm pretty lonely. Ever since I've dropped my old friends I've been having a hard time getting new ones. Talking in general is heart stopping. I'm scared I'll get close to someone whom I could call family, than them just leave. I need some way to pull me out of this awkward funk!
Goals:
#1. Openly be myself.
Maybe someone will like the new me. So be weird and happy about it! I want someone to except me for me. Not for who they want me to be.
#2. Be more social.
Sure it's scary to talk to people, but you won't make friends without talking. I want to be able to share feelings and pains with someone else. Maybe they'll help.
#3. Take the risk!
Like I've said, talking is scary. It is because people may laugh at me and turn me down and not want to except me. But I won't know who will except me till I try. So try!
#4. Learn to except myself.
No one is going to talk to me if I won't talk to me. If I show hate towards myself and disrespect myself, it will show that I can't love and respect them. Plus, it's just good to love your self. :)
#5. Find a family..
This is my biggest goal. I don't want to have only friends to rely on. I want a place to go home to. I want to hug someone I could call Mom or Dad. I want a place to call home. This is my biggest goal ever!
I know that once I reach my goals, I will be happier with myself. These are most important to me. Yes sobriety is very important. It's just not my biggest problem anymore. If I want a family, I have to follow through with these goals. Sure I'm scared, and yes it's hard. But if I made it this far, I could go farther!!!

Why be more social? I mean it's hard to be social with people that are more social then you. I should know I was like that ocne, not very social, and when I tied to be social people would interrupted me. I wanted to give up on being social but I told myself KEEP TRING and DONT GIVE UP.
I can relate to you a lot. I used to be just like that. I used to never talk to anybody at all. Then I just opened up and started being myself. It's a lot better than isolating yourself. People will like you a lot more if you're just you. You'll be a lot happier.
A goal to add to this is the hardest for everyone to accomplish.This is simply to find yourself as your best companion.Sometimes life just has a hard time putting people in our path that will care and stay with us.But someone even how hard they may try that can't leave you.Is you.The day anyone discovers this people will come to you for help and can look forward to you.So yes it may be heartbreaking to not have someone but you should know you can be the person who searches out to be what you want them to be.Becuse if people don't go to you.You should go to them look for someone who need a friend even if you are lonely.Two lonely people is better than one.
I like these goals. Especially the one on being yourself. When I was younger, I would never be myself, I would always try to be this person that EVERYONE liked and not care if I liked myself if they were liking me for the wrong reasons. I learned that I should be myself when I realized and thought about how much I had hated myself then. You have to love yourself before you can love someone else!!!
These goals are fantastic they make me feel good about wanting to be myself. If I had one wish it would be to make every one act like themselves. Because one it would show everyone's true colors.
People need to go out and be social for sure and go to the mall and be dating less being on Facebook so get off your butt and go to the mall
I think your #1 goal is a good one. I mean, how else are you going to know if people really do like you for you if you're not yourself? If they don't like you that's their loss. So don't worry about fitting in. You will fit in somewhere.
