I'd really like to try flirting.
But I'm ugly so I don't.
The few times I tried men seemed to feel insulted since I don't meet the standards.
Some called me disgusting.

For the same reason I try never to be too visible or too loud in public.
I would love to just laugh about a joke, talk to a friend in public or ever show an emotional reaction.

Instead I live alone and try not to take up to much space wherever I am.

1) Starting a YouTube channel for my hatchery. I know my birds are well cared for and kept safe, but their pens look thrown together and aren't pretty and pricey like most YouTube breeders have. I'm just worried that people would hate on me in the comments because of that.

2) finishing my books and sending them to an editor/publisher. I write books that only specific readers would like and I'm just not sure they would sell well if they even got through the editing and all that.

I wanted to be an Egyptologist and go on digs for artifacts. But many of the tombs are underground and I have a fear of being under ground in a place that has only one entrance/exit. If it's a tunnel or a large structure with two ways in and out, I'm ok. But I've never been brave enough to try.

I wanted to make my own video game but I’m severely lacking the skills because I failed a certain class that also broke my self esteem. The teacher was even awful toward me due to coming in class a week late. He simply tossed the book to read through and said to do tests on each chapters. I panicked so hard during that stupid class, there was no one to turn to ask for help. The teacher bluntly told me, “that’s your fault for choosing this class”

Lose weight and focus on my looks. I'd like to be healthy and look nice, but when I was younger, thinner and better looking, I got a lot of harmful attention--not just harassment and assaults from men, but abuse from women. (Why do women do this to each other? I don't understand.)

I don't like being unattractive, but it's "safer." Women still treat me like garbage, which I've just written off as their nature, but at least I'm not being stalked or assaulted by men to the point where I'm fearful for my safety.

Going living in Vietnam...... it's kinda always been a dream of mine to retire there, and even at just 28 when I got my first pension paying out and then shortly after a war pension too..... so basically enough money to have a middle class lifestyle there with no other work I had a child, so just couldn't take off and do it. I used to say to my little girl, 'when you're past 18 and are secure and capable..... then if you still say it's ok for me to go and do it..... but only if you say i can'....... well......... long story short, my little girl passed away 3 years ago at 18...... and I don't know why or how cause i've never really been a fearful person..... and my fiance (who I didn't know at the time) would gladly go with me...... but for once in my life i'm finding myself a little scared at the thought of going on an adventure like that.

Telling my mom that I don't enjoy being around her.

In her mind, nothing anyone else does could possibly be interesting or worth doing, and she's always been this way. It's nearly impossible to share anything about my life with her, including memories we share, such as things that happened while I was growing up. She typically just stares at me like I'm from outer space or starts talking about something else. But then she expects me to listen to her talk about her life, the same stories over and over and over.

Reason I'm afraid to tell her is that she's now 92 and I can see she's unhappy enough with that. She gets over-emotional about things sometimes, and I don't want to make her cry. I'm the only relative that watches out for her, so I guess I just need to put up with it.

Shout at my parents. Sometimes they really deserve it, but I'm too scared that they'll take away my phone and all my other privileges. They've conditioned me from a young age to never question them, and I've always been severely punished for anything I do wrong.

I also want to find a way to tell them they actually don't understand me without them brushing me off. Because they tell themselves and me that "You think we don't understand you but we do." If you ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD ME I would be in therapy and they would let me have mental health days off school when I need them. Because I do. And they refuse to believe anything's wrong.

Also how do I get them to believe that my nausea isn't just 'all in my head'? They can't feel my pain, so what can I do to prove it to them?

I have this undying need to move to Canada but am frightened of doing so because of how convoluted I feel the process will be, including trying to find employment there, figuring out how I'm going to afford housing, trying to figure out how I'm going to pack up all my stuff and get around once I'm there, and if I'm going to be able to settle in and make that move last. Ideally I would want to move to one of the two big cities, Toronto or Vancouver, though I'd settle for a suburb of the two if the housing prices dictate I do so.

Learning how to surf!

I have incredible balance and love being in water generally... but I am irrationally afraid of coming into physical contact with just about any critter in the ocean... sharks and jellyfish, of course, but also stupid stuff, too ... like big fish, little fish, and turtles. Seriously... I grew up on a lake and - despite practically living in the water - I would nearly fly out onto the dock whenever tiny minnows started swimming around my legs!

Of course, all of the creatures in the ocean are immensely interesting from a viewing / learning perspective... but I REALLY don't want them to bite me... or or sting me... or touch me. For the very same reason, I also get freaked out if I can't clearly see the area around / below my legs / feet when I'm in the water... which does tend to become rather difficult in deeper areas where one would actually find waves.

As much as I would REALLY love learning to surf, stupid life-long phobias aren't all that easy to get past 🙄
