Always Play It Safe?

If you're too conventional, and always play it safe, then there is no room to grow.

Take a risk. Do something different. Take a chance at something scary. Step outside of the box. Live a little.

Smile.

 

Well at least you didn't talk about challenging yourself! Heard that so often it sounds all a person needs is to actively keep looking for new challenges... Yawn!



Kind of charging things here, but some advice is really given too often to just anybody

 

"Challenge yourself" just sounds too intimidating, IMO. Taking a risk is sort of along the same lines, but is much more exciting.

 

i agree. condoms blow. Go in raw for a change. Really thrust yourself in there

 

Exactly.

 

And when she gets pregnant and wants you to help her with that newfound responsibility, just change your phone number and your locks, and avoid her at all cost.

 

my god, i swear it's like you are inside my brain!

 

Shit. I thought I was taking enough steps to ensure you couldn't feel me poking around in there.

 

is smiling really that risky?

 

For some people, it is. I think some people just remain in this negative state all the time because they are afraid to feel anything or, as I was saying in my OP, take a risk.

 

I think I smile a fair amount. There's always something to smile about. There's a lotta shit to from upon too but, you can also smile while being frowny, I guess... Not me though, nope.

It's a bit different but then again I think it's quite similar, but showing your emotions isn't too conventional at all, and can be quite risky but I found lately that I'm much happier by doing so. So I don't need them happy pills the doctors and people want me to try because just expressing my own emotions exactly the way I want to express them has been a risky challenge in itself. And I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Yeah, sure, I've lost friends etc. of find it harder to make said friends but realistically at the end of the day if I'm in a shitty mood I'm not sugar coating it, I'm shitty!

 

i have no idea how often i smile. i don't really pay attention to what my mouth is doing most of the time.

 

See, you're playing it safe!

 

wouldn't it be playing it safe more to sit around thinking about what expression is on your face rather than just doing whatever is natural?

 

Okay, maybe. Shut up.

 

Thank you there, Confucius, but unfortunately, I do not take advice from Canadians.

 

Nor do you take showers, from what I understand.

You probably don't wipe your ass, either.

 

just don't be inconsiderate or put others at risk doing so. who am i to say don't? well i'm not. but the world you and everyone else has to live in is.

i don't see stepping outside of the box as itself being unsafe though. i guess i have a little bit of a not quite human way of looking at that, which is to say my understanding of the evidence, the compiliations statistically of experience, which seem rather strongly to suggest, that the greatest danger is more often then not inside the box. and that's not surprising when we're talking about a 'box' that rejects logic. and that's just for starters.

 

What is this "safe" you speak of?
