Bright line is also expensive ($80ish for Miami to Orlando) and has caused a number of accidents so far…

Keen take, I totally agree.
He hasn’t been having much success expanding his base, and this article points out that it’s because he’s playing up key conservative issues to capture one audience, while also aiming for moderates. There’s just a contradiction there.

Hello beautiful travelers. I just wanted to drop the link to this site here in our community. There are many talks hosted here that I find/have found essential on this journey.
If you’re interested, I suggest looking at talks from Tara Brach, Rob Burbea, Oren Jay Sofer, Jack Kornfield, and Sharon Salzberg to start.
If you’ve used this site before, please share your favorite talks and teachers in this thread!
I think the difference is that 1:1 I’m pretty okay — it’s just when I’m trying to engage with a group that I start to feel uncomfortable.
Also a gay dude if that changes the equation? Especially at concerts, sometimes all it takes to start something is the right kind of eye contact.
Socially, to echo another commenter, I remain in a fundamental way the same shy person that I’ve always been. One friend once described me as looking like a young boy in a built man’s body, which, especially when I’m anxious, is probably accurate.
At the same time, dating has transformed completely. I totally pull at bars/concerts and on apps in a way I didn’t when I was less fit. The nice thing about being shy and fit is that I can lean into the shyness coming off as being demure/adorable and people are generally down with that.
More than anything though, I’m healthy, and that feels really good. I enjoy leaving my house. I want to be in situations where my heart rate elevates and I engage my senses and work my body. In this sense, I feel like I put myself out into the world a lot more than I did when I was less fit.
