How to Stop Limiting Your Opportunities in
Life wiki
Are you your own worst saboteur? Stopping
yourself from making achievements can be all too easy an option sometimes and
when it becomes an ingrained habit, it can make your life very uncomfortable
and limited.
Learn from past experience but don't let it stranglehold you. Applying
past experience can cause us to err in our present judgment, however, when we
don't adjust the context of what is happening now. Take the good lessons about
practicing caution and weigh up that need for being cautious with the need to
keep trying new things.
Learn to overcome avoidance. When you avoid situations and events, you avoid
the risks inherent in undertaking an activity or meeting new people. You also
avoid the potential for discovery and great opportunities. Avoidance is a
safety mechanism built up from past experiences, current fears, and presumed
rather than actual outcomes. It takes a lot of work to overcome avoidance as a
habit but the first step is to recognize that you do this, and to start working
on not relying on avoidance as a habit.
Try new things one at a time. Don't overwhelm yourself by taking on too
many new experiences at once. Test things out slowly and reward yourself for
each small step that you take. When you remove the pressure, you will find it
easier to gradually take up new opportunities.
Don't put yourself down. When you insist that other people can do
something better than you, or that you're just not able to do something because
you're too young, too old, too fat, too thin, too pretty, too ugly, too smart,
too dumb, etc., you automatically limit your belief that you can do something.
Once that happens, you work really hard at confirming your negative impression
and in turn, put yourself and your abilities down. The better course of action
is to believe that you're capable and to at least "give it a go."
Follow things up. Never sit around thinking that someone will notice
your talents, beauty, cleverness, abilities, etc. The reality is that you need
to get out there and promote yourself so that you're on people's radar. When
you get a lead, be sure to follow it up and remind people about your potential.
Once a year, do something that scares/thrills/really excites you. Keep a
date with yourself to come out of that shell and push yourself beyond your
safety limits. Go on, you can do it!

Many Aspies and sensitive people have
problems with social interaction. Tendencies to withdraw from social contact
may have many causes.
Introversion
Being a natural introvert and
individualistic rather than gregarious. These are perfectly normal personality
traits, common among gifted, creative and sensitive people. Someone born with a
special talent, interest or ambition, may honestly regard socialising as a
distracting waste of time instead of the reason for living. It is a matter of
priority:- A social person may put up with working so as to be able to meet
other people and afford having a family and social life.
– A non-social (creative/specialist)
person may put up with the unavoidable socialising at work or home as an
arduous necessity to get to have the fun of working, creating or researching.
What the social type often fails to
understand is that it can be a real joy and pleasure to be left alone and do
things on one’s own. Especially if one has something particularly interesting
to study, create, perceive, think about, work on or play with. Being a
non-social person is not a disorder. It is simply a personality type.
Social phobia
May vary in intensity from deadly panic to
feeling shy, inhibited, uncomfortable and confused due to being overly
self-conscious and unsure of how to behave in various social situations.
Common in introvert and emotionally
supersensitive people. In a forum poll 16% of Aspies reported having grave
social phobia, 52% mild social phobia and 6% having had one form or another
earlier.
Being informed of common social rules;
practice under safe circumstances; work on self-esteem; and initially being
accompanied by a trusted companion in frightening situations can be of huge
help to get on the right track.
