Is there any thing that you always wanted to try but you were to afraid because of you're friends family etc?

You gotta do what you gotta do. Doing what’s right isn’t always what’s popular. While it’s important to consider your friends’ opinions… sometimes you’ve just got to say “Screw it, let’s do it.”

I never quite got up the nerve to strangle my former wife with a length of barbed wire.

Do you mean “your friends and family.” Why would the family of your friends enter into your decision-making?

I’ve always wanted to get my tongue pierced. But I’m not allowed to do it because of what my family would say.

I secretly would like to get a little tattoo, but I’m so paranoid against needles that I’d never be able to do it in reality. And I have no idea of what I’d get or where I’d want it. So I guess it’ll never happen.

I want to get an industrial (ring that looks like a pin/needle in the top part of the ear.).

There isn’t much I wouldn’t do because of someone else’s standards/beliefs on it. I care what my friends and family think but if they don’t agree with what I’m doing and as long as I’m not harming myself that’s just too bad. But I guess my family is kind of relaxed about things like this, my mom said “go for it” when I asked her if I should go bungee jumping

@troubleinharlem – I have my industrial, my mom hates it and asks everyday when it’s gonna come out but I still have it.

no, there really isn’t. if theres something that i want to do, and my friends would judge me for it, they aren’t my friends.

For me it’s about making decisions that make me happy but also don’t hurt the people I love and care about. I don’t care about what other people think and will do what ever makes me happy, but I would never hurt the important people in my life.

I have one shot at this, so why waste it worrying about what other people think?

No, I don’t think so

i never moved away because my brother was handicapped, then my kids were too young and my mother too old. now i’m too broken- i need canada’s health care system! alwats wanted t move somewhere warm—south of france, tuscany, even california!

Move.

I love where I live (Boston), but it’s time for a change. Unfortunately (or fortunately) my elderly in-laws live here and my wife and I take care of them. My brother-in-law lives in San Diego and has no intention of moving back to care for his parents, so we’re it for at least the next ten years. Needless to say, the in-laws have no interest of moving with us.

On the bright side, they are lovely people and we do have other family and friends here we would miss. Still, I almost had my wife convinced to move to Italy for a year about three years ago. almost

There are a couple of people I’d like to smash in the throat with a 2×4, but the idea of what my friends and family would think of my lack of self-control and my resulting prison sentence stops me.

Well, before I came out of the closet, there were all sorts of things I wanted to do/wear/say but was afraid to because I thought it would give me away. In senior year, though, I started phasing some of those things in in hopes that people might begin to see that I was not as heterosexual as I had previously claimed. Now, I can’t really think of anything else. I pretty much do what I want and nothing I want to do is so out there that it would cause an outrage.

@DominicX the little black dress DID look pretty good with those stiletto high heels and the dominatrix whip at the prom. =)

Drag.

I wanted to be Asian, but most of the people I know are bigots.

I want to move out of the house but it’s not accepted as ‘right’ in the culture that I was raised in. I also don’t want to get married. If I do get married, I want to get married outside of my race which isn’t accepted in my family either. I also want to travel alone which my parents think is horrible (they’re afraid I’m going to go on a sexual rampage)

The older I have got, the more it makes sense for me to do what is best for myself. Trying to please everyone around me left me unhappy, and now that I am doing what’s best for myself I find that I am the happiest I have ever been, and the people who really love me are also glad for me. :)

@NewZen I’ve tried drag, but only in the privacy of my own home. I make one homely chick, let me tell you. I’ve even got pictures. =)

@Psychedelic_Zebra Trade?

@NewZen LOL, PM me if you are serious.

It can be sacry when you want to emabrk on new ventures, try new things, etc, but you feel you’re going against the grain My advice is to..Throw caution to the wind. Sing along with Frank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E2hYDIFDIU
Ultimately, people are going to have more respect for a person who can stand tall in themselves and go for what they want, without the squad cheering behind them.
GO DO!

I was going to parachute jump but my daughter’s godfather did it and broke both ankles on the first jump. Since we were still in the military and the jump was recreational he got in a good bit of trouble for putting himself out of commission for two months. I don’t know if it’s true but he said that they were going to try him for damaging government property. In effect, that’s what he did.

My family need me so I opted out. I’m still thinking about jumping. Maybe after I retire and can get Medicare to pay for the hospital bills.
