They say that if you imagine that the audience is naked, speaking on a stage is less frightening.

Uhm…yeah…no.

Have you seen the way the average American is built these days? If I imagined naked people, I’d get spooked. Spooked by all that fleshy flesh-ness.

But I digress…

Aside from public speaking, some of the biggest social fears people have include activities where they perceive being judged, embarrassed, or rejected

These feelings are often associated with being alone.

That’s why it’s common for people to avoid solitude rather than enjoy it.

Somehow, there’s a stigma against doing things on your own which means there are plenty of people failing to have unique experiences simply because they don’t want to go by themselves. It’s a bummer, too, because people miss out on things they would like to do when they don’t have someone else to join in.

Before you know it, life’s passing by, and many of the fun things they want to do never happen.

Solitude feels odd at first
