Question
Hello!
Thank you so much for taking the time to get back to this!
My question is-- how can I get more well known in my youth group. I don't want or need to be the most well known person
there but I would love to be more well known and well liked. I guess I just have a hard time getting out there and getting
out of my box.

Thank you so much!


Answer
Hi there !

This sounds like a complicated issue... you feel like you've become type-cast in your group and you would like to become a bit more popular and have people see you differently.

I think I may need a bit more information before answering... can you please give me some context information?
What sort of group is this we're talking about? How do people see you? Why do you think they see you in the way they do? What reasons have you given them?
Or are you just shy and as a result not well-know because you don't say much? If so, why don't you say much.

Please give me some more details so I can give you a better answer !

Thanks,
Terrie

I can answer questions about what mental strategies you use to get what you want in life. I especially like to get questions from ambitious women looking to find balance and to follow dreams, but--guys of this description--your questions are welcome too. If you're unsure how to approach a life-decision or how to re-vamping a certain part of your personality you don't like, step on up and ask!

Experience

I'm a elite amateur kick-boxer, small-business owner, writer of the http://Wayofthewarriorqueen.com blog, and a panic-disorder survivor. Getting from being hamstrung by self-esteem and anxiety problems to where I am today is my no.1 experience in this area ! That and learning to get in the ring and fight.
