Mental Health Update

From a nice post on the importance and anxiety of travel.

Through travel I found an excuse to believe I was an exceptional person. Travel is extraordinarily challenging. You face language barriers and the simple logistical problems of feeding, housing, and finding transportation everyday. You are surrounded by ways of life that you don’t completely understand. What you considered to be logical and unquestionable beliefs are suddenly not so rock steady, but you survive. Facing these challenges and coping, if not excelling, gave me great confidence. Putting myself in extremely awkward social situations made all those awkward social situations at home seem easy. Normally, I develop a severe anxiety towards many social situations at home but during , and for sometime after, travel that anxiety evaporates. This confidence is my second lesson of travel.
