To help myself I'm trying to identify the crazy SA thoughts I have and do the exact opposite of whatever I feel like doing at that time. For instance, today I went to the gym and the guy at the counter said hello and asked me how I was, this unnerved me and when I went to hand him my card it fell. real scary right? Anyway normally I'd look down, mumble thanks and get away, but instead I looked him in the eye, said thankyou and walked calmly away, I know this sounds minute but it's a feat for me. Then while in the locker room, I caught myself rehashing it all in my head "Oh geez he probably thinks I'm a weirdo" you know the usually SA thing... then I stopped and promised myself I was going to let it go right there and instead thought "who the hell cares what he thinks?" Finally on my way out I really wanted a bottle of water, but the machine is on the otherside of the admission desk and I really really didn't want to walk past this guy but I did it anyway. :clap
Yeah I still have a ways to go, but thats my plan, to do the exact opposite as to what I think I want to do. Hey it worked for George on Seinfield, maybe it'll work for me too. Does anyone have any stories of things they've done to battle their SA?
