A Little Life Advice

I do not know what sport this is but it looks fantastic. Animals, punching, mud and optional helmets make any activity fun filled. This is conflict in its best form, face to face and direct. What is conflict in its worst form? Whenever it starts and plays out on facebook. I know you have seen it and may even have participated in calling someone out or making a reference to one person via a status update. I am here to tell you, don't. Unless you only have five friends and they were all involved. I may be fighting a losing battle since cyber drama and cyber bullying are becoming more prominent as kids lose the ability to socially interact I choose to stand strong nonetheless. 

Depressing status updates are also no fun. People let me down too, but I choose not to rain on everyone's newsfeed. Trust me, that will only make things worse for you. Misery may love company but it is rarely fun, uplifting and nice. I have spoken to people who saw an episode of MTV Made. and want to get made into a more social person. They ask me how I do it and the answer is simple to say, step out of your comfort bubble. Even people who seem to have no problem talking to others make conscious decisions to open their mouths. This does not mean you should open your mouth to simply make noise. I have heard people who make strange animal sounds or blurts instead of speaking and it baffles me. I would not try and enter a conversation by speaking in German. I would get weird looks and no one would know how to respond. If you think bleep, bloop, blah or skearie is going to help people talk to you, they won't. 

You may really want to change. Good for you. Unless you do something about it, nothing is going to magically happen. If you are looking for a job, outwork everyone around you until you find a job. If you want friends, be the friend that you would like to have in your life to others and proactively meet new people. If you want a girl or boyfriend, go on dates and look nice while updating your skills so you are constantly leveling up. Follow President Obama's lead and quit making excuses and get things done.
