I come back with, well, then what's the worst that's going to happen?
Like, truly.
Not worst in your mind, but in reality.
What is the very worst that might happen?
They're all going to laugh at me, Gary.
They're going to laugh at me.
That's the fear.
I pull on that thread, and if they laugh at you, what next?
Well, was that really a person you wanted to be friends with in the first place?
What next?
Exactly.
And, you know, when you play the what's the worst that will truly happen game, you see that all these horrible thoughts are mostly in your head and not in reality.
Right?
And then I come back to...
No risk, no reward.
I said, look, you don't have to do a damn thing.
You don't have to go out there.
You don't have to be vulnerable.
You don't live where you're living.
But if it's uncomfortable, step out of your box.
