Looking for encouragement
Tomorrow I will be going on my first solo trip. I am an extremely introvert person who has lived a very shielded life and protected by my parents when growing up. I am unsure about everything and cannot make a decision if my life depended on it. I am shy because of my stutter and so never ventured beyond my comfort zone in my life. I have rarely lived. I have done nothing exciting. I have no stories to tell. So I decided to create these opportunities for myself, to push out of my comfort zone and go on a solo trip as no one was willing to come. I want to see and explore this dumb little planet, to experience different foods and cultures, and meet different people. I want to have good and bad experiences. I want to get into deep shit and learn to problem solve. All of this is very exciting for me!
Yet, I am being constantly discouraged by people around me. When I tell them I am going on a solo trip, they get a shock of their life and blurt out "alone?!!? None of your friends are going?!! Reallyyyyy?" And its fucking annoying. They look at me like I am a loner (which, hey, is true) and try to sympathize with this unfortunate soul. Ugh. People ask me "what will you do there alone?". Well bitch I asked everyone to tag along and no one said yes so what do you want me to do? Sit around for eternity?
So guys, I am looking for encouragement. Tell me it's going to be good. Help me get out of this fucking mindset that people have put me in. I almost feel ashamed and embarrassed to go right now. As if I am doing something unnatural and weird.
