What have you done that surprised you about yourself?

i stopped smoking drinking about 2 years ago ,and beside a occasional lapse in suicidal thoughts and a suicide attempt in the past 2 years suicide too

 

A few years back, I had trouble even thinking of myself as an actual human being, let alone anything someone might actually find attractive. I thought everyone secretly hated me but it was okay because I didn't deserve friends, so I might as well never leave my room and just make up stories about other people who do have friends.

Last night, some friends and I had a no-pants dance party.

Suffice it to say my confidence has improved somewhat in the past few years.

 

Everything I do surprises me. I'm full of surprising things.

I suppose the most surprising thing I've done was overcome my crippling fear of social situations. I used to get so nervous I would nearly pass out just ordering something at a restaurant. But now I'm much more comfortable with talking to people, hell I never shut up.
