Now if only I could save my game in real life and reload if I screw up, that would be great. That's why I game so much: with enough patience, I have infinite attempts to get something right. In the real world, you screw up once, you're done...
And as much as I respect your opinions on the matter, I still have a hard time believing it. It's a hostile world out there, full of people ready to run me over. I want to be loved, not hated. Unfortunately, it seems the latter is more likely to occur if I leave my "other physical/metaphorical obstacles". Is there a way to know when it's safe to come out?
You're gonna get hurt and rejected before you find the right person. That's just life. Everyone - even outgoing NTs - face this. But if you're not in the game, you're not going to win the prize.
Just don't obsess over it. Put yourself out there and look, while still enjoying life and being who you are.
