Personal Development & Community: Self-development

Why do you want to do this?

Those who know me know very little about me. I am a very private person, to the point where I have difficulty sharing feelings. I want to become more aware of who I am and able to emotionally communicate and connect with others. I believe this will help strengthen the relationships I currently have, improve my overall sensibility. Getting older makes you realize the importance of human relationships over anything else.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

A plan - To me, this is like climbing Everest in terms of difficulty. So I need to take on this challenge step by step, little by little, without any opportunity to deviate or abandon. Hard!

Motivation - How is one person looking to open up to her network of friends and relatives actually seek support upfront? So I need the s help and motivation of as many people as possible, those I know and strangers as well. Thank you in advance!

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

I am a glass half-empty type of person so fighting my urge to abandon or believe that I am able to achieve this goal and worthy of the results will be difficult. As for specific barriers, I can name hundreds! Part of the plan will be to identify how to address each individual barrier.
