Today's Wishcasting question is ," How do you wish to come out of your shell?" Since I was once very quiet and shy and now am able to speak in front of large groups giving lectures, etc. with confidence, I thought I don't know since I really have come out of my shell quite a bit. But then in being really honest with myself, I realized I do great speaking in front of large groups or one-on-one with someone but if I am with a small group of people I am usually the one listening not talking. I had a friend tell me once that I needed to participate more in this type of setting because I really did have a lot to offer to the conversation and that I was cheating myself as well as everyone else by not sharing. As I am writing this, I find it intriguing that I can be very confident in some situations but not others. So my answer to todays prompt is that I wish that when I am with a group of people in social situations that I become more of a participant in the conversation rather than a listener.

Small groups can be a challenge for me, too. I still prefer them to large groups but sometimes it is hard to know what to offer. As you wish, I also wish for you. I can relate so well to your wish-- I find myself so confident in some situations, and a little mouse in others, and I'm not really sure why. Sometimes it is important to be a good listener too--I find there aren't that many out there! :) As Ginny wishes for herself, I wish for her also. 9/15/2010 06:05:07 am
Although, like you, I can speak in front of large groups of people with confidence, I don't do so well in small groups, either. Especially social situations.
Today, I find myself saying, "Wow, me too!" a lot. It's kind of comforting. I used to be barely able to speak above a whisper in public, and I went on to become a teacher. I can chat with a friend. I can speak to a large group. I am nearly silent in a small group. I know what you're saying here! 9/15/2010 10:24:44 am
You can do it Ginny! As you wish for yourself, so do I heartily wish for you also.
