Worried about going out in public

[StevieTV]

Exactly as Karen says...Be confident and know who you are and where you are going. With that attitude no one will think twice of razzing you.

Even when I go shopping en drab in the womens dept. I have confidence. I could care less what others think. That's their problem not mine. I'm there for a reason, to shop. If the SA gives me grief I report them. Done deal. Don't mess with the guy in the dress!!

A lot will depend on where you live

Can you get to a gathering such as "Be it All" "Southern Comfort Conference" or "Sparkle (UK)"

It easier there with so many girls around

Personally I could care less about others while I'm out, they're strangers anyway and you probably won't see them again so it doesn't really bother me, its just getting past the neighbors.... the people you do see every day or at least every so often. Thats just my ego getting in the way though, why should we care what they think of us anyway? Everyone's got secrets, so what if they know yours.....

Start by trying to appear confident, even if you don't feel it? Act as if you've every right to be doing what you are, people will take you at face value.

And, when you start to find people think you are confident, you'll find you become it..

Roughly where are you, Melissa? We might be able to suggest some groups to seek out.. It's always easier going out with someone else, preferably someone who's been before?
