What does the fear of being judged by others hold you back from doing that you would otherwise do? (sopuli.xyz)

To be fair I still do these things but only when I'm alone.

Personally I love finding big puddles and then dig drains with a stick or my heel and watch the water flow.

Also love to throw a piece of wood into water and then toss stones high up in the air and try hit it imagining it's a warship I'm trying to bomb.

Then also without going into details there are some pieces of clothing I would like to wear but don't because they're considered femine or gay.

Practicing DJing. Neither my wife nor daughter are into their quality house music (neither am I, they would argue... 😀) and we have elderly neighbours, so I find it hard to find time to make a real effort to practice, and get self-conscious and disheartened pretty quickly.

My setup is in our living room area, so it's not very convenient when people are doing just about anything downstairs. Would love to have a bit more space to make mistakes and make a noise without it bothering others.

I'd still be crap at it right enough... ;-)

But wouldn't it be soooo fun?

Oh, most definitely! :-)
