Hi

[onde]

I joined a few days ago but have only got round to posting now (presuming I post this! ...I think I actually may have joined up some other time also, with a different account).

I'm in late 20s, eternally "in education" or "considering my options" without actually getting anywhere. I keep having moments and weeks of optimism, only to find myself not venturing outside my comfort zone...not that comfort zones are necessarily bad: but they are if they leave you in a dangerous position for the future.

I joined here as part of an impetus to progress somehow. My main concern is that I've never had a job, and that I fear the process of actively pursuing that goal. I don't have a support network in terms of what is "normal", by which I mean the task of resembling a normal person is usually rather difficult, but especially so in a stressful situation like a job interview. I always worry about whether I "look" right, or "sound" right, and worry about not being able to say the right thing at my own pace.

It is very difficult I imagine to try and master the outside world when you live inside your head most of the time and fear your own voice!

Hopefully the next year will be good one.

Hi. Your name reminds me or a rather unique instrument called the Ondes Martenot, or Martenot Waves.

hi, yes...I chose the name because of the album Le onde by Ludovico Einaudi, which was inspired by the Virginia Woolf book The Waves. all the waves in this thread are thus highly appropriate .
