What's your comfort zone?

Are you usually fine when you make a total ass out of yourself in public? Or are you more conservative and hate doing absolutely anything that could risk your rep in the midst of everyone you hold dear? (D=)

Lately I've been getting out of that close sphere and I've been trying new things (don't twist :rage:) like trying new foods or something. I haven't gotten to a point where I'll bust out in break dancing or singing karaoke in a bar or something though. And I probably will never do that. :ryan:
 
I think something's worth trying if you want to give it a go. If it's not gonna hurt anyone, it's not really a bad thing. For example, in my group of real life friends, I tend to be into both RPGs and first person shooters, while my friends are all solely FPS junkies. They accept that.

Another example is that I'm really into spicy food, and I've made an ass of myself several times by eating stuff too hot for me. Often publicly. But I'm comfortable with that. People who embarrass themselves like that and put on a macho act tend to be frowned upon, in my experience. You need to be confident with yourself, get out of your comfort zone and laugh at the mistakes as and when they come.
 
I am very conscious of what others may think of me, so I at least not yet am comfortable with doing anything silly that could end up making a fool of myself, but being who I am I would guess that will come with time. ...Hopefully? :giggle:

I could really use to lighten up, because once I do, I feel I could get much more out of life. So yeah, I don't have much of a comfort zone, pretty much just uptight, and overly serious (and my father calls me naive... Ha). :/

Still, I'd like to think I'm not impossible to get along with... :hmmm:
 
Im very accident prone ...today my job had a group in and durring their meeting and I happend to knock over most of the chairs while bringing out the ice...Litterally im so used to making an ass out of myself it no longer bothers me.
If something goes wrong oh well its just going to happen again move along~
If it concerns anything embarissing same motto goes if I want to try something I will regardless of what someone I dont even know might think of me and if you do know me..uhm whats wrong with you? You should have expected me to do something out of the norm.
 
being abit thick, im not 100% sure i understand the question

But I dont mind making an arse of myself. Or if I do something and Im just like, aw fuck cringe cringe cringe. Fuck it, it's not like you can change it. Just laughh about it and move on

Life's about having fun, and if it means you make a twat out of yourself on occassion, well, Im game for that.

Not so long ago, requested a song from the DJ, turns out we'd been set up and it was actually kareoke, and I waas like, ah fuck it LETS SING US SOCKS OFFFFFFF

I tend to want to try most things at least once, and when we are on the topic of food, if i dont like summat, i will have tried it, just to make sure im not missing out haha. I like to order summat different on a menu everytime as well, though, if i find summat i like, then obviously i will get that more often.
 
Ehhh i agree with kelly i dont really get the question.

Am i comfortable making an arse out of myself? Well that would completely depend on the company im in i spose. I can chat shit when im drunk to my mates or randomer and not give a fuck the next day but if i met my boss in the bar (assuming id talk to him, which i wouldnt but lets pretend) I wouldnt feel too good about that the morning after.
Im alwyas alwyas up for doing anything new as long as it doesnt involve jumping out planes or something. I hate routine with a passion and i know alot of people whod happily do the same thing for the rest of their life. Well maybe not happily but they dont care too much to get out in the world and have an eye opener.
 
I'm a little weird with these...I don't really get out of my comfort zone that much, but only because I can't really be bothered. Trying new things doesn't interest me, because I'm quite comfortably set in my ways and don't see the point in changing. I don't have much of a sense of adventure or anything.

I don't really care what people think of me, so I don't mind making an idiot out of myself in public. I often end up doing so by not paying attention anyway. xD
 
Or rollercoasters eh Lewis? :wacky:

I'd like to think I'd have the balls to jump out of a plane or something, but you never know until you get up there haha, I know if the opportunity arose and I bottled it. i'd kick myself for being a poof for the rest of my life

You would never get me indoor skydiving though

Never ever

Not in a million fucking years. My comfort zone there would be as far away from the biulding as humanly possible

I'd never go in a reservoir either, disused or not.

I'd happily enough dive bomb my arse into some water, even though i cant swim, but i wouldnt go in a resi haha

Um, other than that, i think im alright for giving most new things a bash
 
I'm usually very cautious when it comes to most things. I rarely try anything new, whether it's food, an outdoor activity etc.

I'm always scared of wasting money on something I'm going to hate because I already have things I like and would rather just go with that and be safe.

Luckily I have Steve to push me into doing things. He's always trying new things and if it weren't for him I'd never leave my comfort zone.
 
It takes a bit of persuading, but I'm usually up for trying new things so long as I know/find someone I can feel at ease with. Generally though, if I'm with my friends I won't care if I embarass myself.
 
Doesnt bother me much. Once youve been forced outside of your comfort zone as many times as me its easier to just not care anymore. It makes life more interesting any how.
 
Well my comfort zone depends who I am with.
If im with a couple of mates and some people I dont know to well I am usually quiet and only speak if someone starts a conversation with me.
But its a different story if im with my mates and only my mates, we tend to behave as if we are permanently hyper :awesome: although it gets us in trouble with the police quite alot :hmmm: which gets on our nerves.
A quick question is it fair for the police to stop and take our names down because we were sitting on a grit box? -__-

.FTR.
 
*Breathes life into cold thread*

Mm, I don't care what people think about me. I've tried being quite and not to stand out in a crowd, and then I get openly mocked because I guess there's something about me that people find worth mocking even though I didn't do anything. Kind of a damned if you, damned if you don't thing. So, I choose to be the damned that do. Though, I typically end up being that one guy in the group that talks people into doing something stupid and idiotic and I just sit back and do nothing. Just to watch them be stupid. It's what I do.
 
I'm far too closed in for my own good ;I can't stand to dance in public or do anything that might make me seem silly in any way,though this is a state of things I'd like to change.

Other than that,though,I like to try new foods,see new cities,etc.
 
I try my best to not have comfort zones. Sometimes I get a bit carried away.

It's like, you have comfort zones that's fine, and I'll respect them if I'm made aware of them, but I personally don't have them really. I'll do just about anything in public and I won't really care.
 
I'll say I'm like Amarant. I'll kinda just stay on the wall while you're having fun. That sounds bad, but I prefer it that way. Also, another way I'm like Amarant is that I'll do what you want me to. I might do it reluctantly, but I'll still do it. If you want me to try your skateboard, okay sure, it's not in my comfort zone, but I'll do it.

I'll fight by your side in battle, but after we win, I'll go back to my wall while you get all the fame. I just prefer it that way.
