I have decided, for good, to not brood over my past because I am tired of feeling crappy. Coincidentally, my psychologist is going away for three weeks, meaning that I won't even have the chance to talk about it.
Today at a train station, a man was asking for direction. So I helped him out and afterward he started talking to me -- nothing personal, just small talks about all the crazy weekend re-routes. For some reason, I let him talk and replied. In the past, I would have thought that he must be a weirdo and think if I am a weirdo too for attracting one. Today, I thought, "Maybe he appreciated my help and started talking ...."
If you guys remember, I have started daytrading six months ago, and last week I finally made back every dollar I lost. My account is +$80 (Yay!) Anyway, the most amazing development is that I am not too afraid to press the button. The fear will always be there, but now it is manageable. I know that this is a positive step in both my professional life and my personal life. My psychologist once asked me, "You have the balls to trade but not the balls to talk to a girl?" $80 may look little, but I am having one part of my life back. Now that I conquered one fear, I can conquer the other ....

One step at a time...that's how it's gotta be.
