I know just how hard it would be to push yourself in the evening, and how exhausting, but it’s important to take those extra small steps whenever we can find it in us

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
To be honest.... it's highly unlikely i will.... and not just because of the reason outlined...
Basically in a noisy environment (pub/club/restaurant) i completely lose the ability to track peoples speech...
I have excellent hearing, really good frequency response for my age but if you imagine a group of say 6 people around a table in a bar or restaurant with that general background hubub .... i have to really really focus and strain to isolate even the person speaking close to me ...
Therefore in a group scenario i just get lost .... i lose the flow ... so add that to the fact that i don't like operating in 'new' groups and i generally clam up and end up saying nothing and the people on this course are all european (spanish mostly with pretty strong accents) then i just cannot deal with it all combined
Fair enough, I understand as I have the same problem. It’s an anxiety thing - it’s difficult to filter

Different for me .... i simply cannot tune in to who's speaking if there's the hum of conversation around ... it just doesn't 'stand out' for me ... even if i'm intently focussed on them i can usually barely hear them ..... so when you're in a group and the conversation is flipping between people like it does i frankly cannot track it and lose the ability to contribute
