I say maybe when I mean no.

What feelings arise?

pressured

unsure

How does it affect you?

I've been letting myself succumb to peer pressure a lot. I've started to do some questionable things, although nothing bad has happened yet. I just think my life is heading in a direction that I'm not sure I want to take.

What is your part?

I'm not a very self-confident person and I don't like to speak my mind or create conflict.

What are you learning?

I'm a risk-taker, but I'm having a harder time going against other peoples' will when I know that something is not right. I also have been cutting a lot of people off.

What can you shift in your perspective?

I forget that not everyone views things the same way I do, and other people have their flaws and I need to be more understanding of that and maybe even make the effort to help them improve. 

How do you choose to work with your difficulty?

I'm not here to make a difference. I'm only here by chance and have been damned to existence, and I don't plan on being around long enough to try to make any changes within myself or others, so I probably won't be making too big of an effort to actually go forward.

What is the difficulty teaching you?

Be more accepting and stop doing drugs. They’re not worth it.
