But if you're new and you aren't getting any readers anyway, you're much better off commenting with a link back to your blog than writing a new blog post.

Despite regretting not being more proactive in my life, there have been few times when I can really let go and take part in everything. Anyways, its nice to know that I am not alone and don't overthink these kinds of things. Ive been coming back to this blog for a while (ever since I heard that they were 'sunsetting' graphic design, my major) and it has been very useful. DSC is more on the smaller side and its nice to have a reliable resource for information & a forum. Thanks and keep up the good work! I've added thripp.com to <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/" rel="nofollow">Stumbleupon</a>, which helps increase traffic. :D I can really relate to this post- I have always been a pretty shy person and it can be hard to break that barrier.

When it comes to dancing I always sit for the first 30 minutes and observe the others and then go and dance myself - I suppose I do it in order to get comfortable with the atmosphere. I have one question for you: if everyone would be "doing it" who would be taken the pics?

I believe it is important to step out of your comfort zone regularly to push oneself. But it is easier said than done. As I am trying to build a site right now, I have found that it is easier to plan than to take action (writing a post, commenting :wink: on other blogs, etc.). One step at a time, I guess. First time here, good site! Regards. Your words of wisdom apply equally to writers and other professions. I believe it is important to step out of your comfort zone regularly to push oneself.
