Trying my hand at another thread here so be gentle!

This place has a bit of something for everyone. Here's the thing. I really, really try to stay positive because reasons! Let's focus, for a bit, on what you're most proud of. Is it something job related? Is it a personal accomplishment? Let's hear it and let's support each other!

I'll go first.

Getting over my fear of talking to people. Talk about horrific! For years, I just couldn't stand in front of a group of people. I'm talking groups of three! I'd freeze up, sweat, and practically pass out. But over time, I was able to get over it and it's changed my life! I love meeting and talking to people now!

Keep it going!

Good for you! Over time I've gotten braver about talking to people who I once thought were unapproachable. Fortune favors the bold.
 
Late 50's guy here. There are a few moments that stand out for me, and I'll share one. It was about 20 years ago when I was with family and visiting a very famous museum of art. My family had moved a little quicker than I did and I found myself in one of the galleries looking at a masterpiece and there was woman who was in her mid-20s there working on a sketch and with her was her four-year-old daughter. The daughter looked at me and out of the blue asked, "Will you be my daddy?" Her mother was mortified and was immediately flustered, but I sort of gestured to her to relax and I looked at her daughter and said, "That is the nicest question anyone has ever asked me and I would love to be your daddy, but it doesn't work that way, and I know your mom will talk to you about it but thank you so much for asking."

This is so awesome!
 
I am proud of overcoming the adversity of my upbringing in a lower class environment that exposed me to violence and other terrible things as a child. This has desensitized me and while that for the most part is bad, it has also helped me in “fight or flight” moments. I also have traveled through life going against the grain of what normalcy is and I feel I am successful in unconventional ways as opposed to what society says we have to be.
I’m proud in what I have done and who I am. I take care of those around me and am such a resilient human

That's a great way to answer that.

I have had a similar stage fright. Maybe not as intense, I could talk to 3 people, but I still froze if I attracted too many eyeballs. I'm much more relaxed now when facing a group, and definitely enjoy meeting new people.

You are a kind hearted soul.

This is one of the sweetest things I’ve ever heard.
