The start of my happiness.

[Tyler12]

It's exciting monitoring my own actions and the reactions of people while I focus on becoming the man I was 5 years ago. Confident, approachable, out going.
Ex. Stopped at shoe store today. A real one. Not box store. Normally I would kind of hide and if approached say just looking thanks or I'm ok. And try and figure out by myself what I want.
I almost did tonight too. But said ya actually, this is what I am wanting to do. Change my running shoe rut... She was very helpful. First asked ok. What style jumps out at you? I said this. And she was great had lots of opinions and suggestions. Where normally I would have looked and left feeling like they had nothing I wanted.
Now. These shoes were very much out of my price range. So I didn't buy any yet. And normally would have kind of snuck out so I didn't disappoint the sales person. I made an effort to say thank you for your help. It gave me a much better idea of what I want. I didn't find the right one tonight, you helped a lot tho. Have a good night.
It felt so much better than the shy. Afraid of what people think Tyler of the last 4-5 years
