White Go-Go Boots

I totally and completely do the SAME thing. I am a HUGE facial reader, and getting approval is too much of a "goal" for me. I just want to see that people are happy with me.
A HUGE PEOPLE PLEASER....that is what I am! I have been working for years to change it, but it gets so embedded into our personalities that it's life altering to change, and a really tough fight to avoid those tendencies.
I love the go-go boot story...I can just see it in my mind now! I wish you had a video of that to keep for you to look at, and to remember that if you want it to be a GO-GO BOOT DAY, then that's the perfect day for you, no matter what anyone else thinks!
Now I will think of you every time I see or hear about a go-go boot, and that's a good thing:)

Ah yes, People Pleaser!! I've tried working on this so much and sometimes I am able to control it more than other times, just depends on my mood at the time. There have been times where I honestly didn't care what kind of facial expression someone gave me I would just go on and not let it affect me in any way, then at other times I would take it so personally that it would bother me the rest of the day!

I do this with my husband. He can be looking a certain way sometimes, and usually its always something either about his stocks or work, and I'll take it as I just KNOW that he's upset with me, then he asks whats wrong, I tell him and he's like where do you get this kind of thing it has absolutely NOTHING to do with you and it never does and that if he has a problem with me he will certainly let me know. Then I always feel bad for being so sensitive and wish to goodness I could get rid of this paralyzing problem.

Gosh, if ONLY I had a video that would be so awesome! Would give anything to see that, priceless!
Yeah, maybe I will just go buy me some more go-go boots, although I don't dance and have never once since that time let anyone see me dance, I don't even dance alone because I start to feel embarrased, don't know why. Luckily, my husband is not really into dancing though he loves to watch people dance.
Actually, I can't say that because I was in Pom-Pom in HS and I had to dance with the team in front of the school, forgot about that!! That was a big fear I overcame.

Yeah, just watch an old episode of Laugh-In, lots of go-go boots on there!!

Oh my goodness...I don't dance either. My husband loves to dance, and he's really good at it, but I just can't "let go" enough to look natural at it. I feel like a total spastic, and my husband says if I'd just dance like there was nobody watching that I'd catch on, but there is my problem again...I think someone is watching and judging! I have actually had "nightmares" that I had to dance in public.
We need to meet and go buy some white go-go boots and just laugh at each other while we dance around like nobody's business:)

LOL! THATS ME TOTALLY!!

I've always got this feeling someone is watching every little move I make and laughing to themselves about how funny I look.
One valentine's day I surprised my husband and had hired a band from Houston to come play jazz here at home, just the two of us (the band was confused as to why they were coming to set up for just 2 people) and a Lebanese dinner catered by a lebanese woman I met in San Antonio. Well at one point they played a slower romantic song and my husband got up asked me to dance, I kept laughing and feeling stupid with the band watching but I somehow felt confident enough with my husband to just do it.

Another time, was with my ex at Christmas time, I got into a goofy mood and just got up there and started moving and my ex, mom, brother were watching me and kept saying "thats it kim, keep going, look at her go". That was a once in a great moon event! But I have to admit, it DID feel really good to just let go of those worries. There have been other times that I have been right there ready to just let go but then I don't. I really don't know how I ever made it into pom-pom in school! And then later on, about 8 yrs. ago I faced a big fear and was asked to start giving kickbox aerobics where I lived on the lake with my ex, so I did and couldn't believe I was doing that! It was a little different than just dance aerobics though, at least it was more like just kickboxing to music.

Okay, thats one thing that is defnitely on the list "to do" if and when you come to visit! We'll go buy some go-go boots and put on the song "funkytown" and dance!! (funkytown is the song I tried out to pom-pom with). Now THAT would be a great america's funniest video moment!

LOVE IT!
