What do you want to do with your life?

If anxiety wasn't an issue for you, what would be the top 5 things on your list?
For me it would be;
1) find love
2) do a job that I really want to do
3) learn to drive
4) go on holiday
5) start a charity.

Number 5 is something I really, really want to do, but I have no idea where to start.

If ONLY anxiety wasn't a barrier:
1. Find love. Or a partner. Just someone to be with.
2. Succeed in my chosen career. I want to go into the film industry, and anxiety isn't great on a film set.
3. Be able to go shopping without planning elaborate escape routes and excuses in case I ran into people.
4. Talk to new people without clinging onto a friend like a child.
5. Be happy.

1. pursue a position as singer in a band or individually
2. picket/protest
3. get a job
4. pursue a career in modeling
5. start an organization

1. Have sleepovers with friends
2. Go into to get one of my novels published, I just don't know where to start, or if I'll take correction well.
3. Get straight A's
4. Work at a restaurant or in a bakery
5. Sell my art/sculptures on the market

1. Graduate high school without killing myself.
2. Attend college
3. Find love somewhere along the way
4. Write and publish a novel.
5. Be happy.

No idea. It's almost a problem.

But here's what I do know:
-Be happy
-Have kids someday (and get married, I guess, by extension)
-Find something I'm passionate about
-Never give up art
-Travel, travel, travel!

1. Pass my GED
2. Attend College
3. Get a job
4. Learn how to drive
5. Find love and even friends would be okay (:

I find that often being creative is the only way to get things across. That being said, I'm terrified of showing my work to anyone. To the point where in my cinematography tute last semester I ran out of the classroom when I had to show my 1min film, I just pressed play and bolted ^.^ lol

1. Sing for a touring band
2. Be able to comfortably give public speeches
3. Get a job
4. Move to San Diego
5. Be with my long distance girlfriend

Wondering what life would be like without all the anxious feelings is so strange to me still. One day..

1 Start dating and by extension find love
2 Get a job
3 Finish my degree and get a job in that field
4 Sell my crocheting (I've wanted to start an etsy store for years but I've been too worried people will laugh at it)
5 Make new friends without relying on my existing friends to introduce me to people

I know what you mean. For the longest time I had no idea who I would be without anxiety. I almost thought it wasn't possible. Then when I was in the hospital, in a safe space and on good medication, I suddenly realized that I'm a completely awesome person and felt better about myself than I ever had before. That feeling lasted for about two days and since I've had a couple good moments where it came back. I've been clinging to the memory of that feeling ever since. It's hard to believe that I could live feeling that way most of the time but harder to not hope for it.

1. Become closer friends with my crush and see if we could be together
2. Be able to interact with all the people in my school who i'm too afraid to converse with

I reeeaalllly want to live in the city.

1. Get a job, any job
2. Meet new people, potentially date
3. Pursue photography
4. Travel
5. Improve my abysmal grades

I want to take the leap and start my own photography business. It's my dream, and I'm just too scared to do it.
I've never had my own business before, so I wouldn't know where to start, and I think that terrifies me. The amount of people I don't know whom I would have to suck it up and talk to in order to get it up and running scares the living hell out of me.
I'm not entirely inexperienced - Despite never having my own business before, I have ran other peoples businesses, so I do know the ins and outs of day-to-day stuff, but to completely start up from fresh? I have no idea.

I kind of do this already. Alongside my part-time job, I take up photography jobs. I've done several weddings (which I am incredibly proud of myself for. All those people I didn't know and I still did it!), family portraits for people, as well as being hired by two of the UKs top poker players to do the images for their websites, but there's just something different about it all being official, y'know?

If anyone has any tips about starting a business whilst struggling with social anxiety, I would love to hear them!

I've always wanted to
1. Start my own business.
2. Form some kind of charity.
3. Pursue a romantic relationship that isn't dictated by my anxiety.
4. Mend issues with friends and family.
5. Find ways to help people who go through the same things I have went through.
