Is it normal to have such contradictory thoughts?

I feel like I want to be two different types of people, depending on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I want to be an adventurous person, who explores the world and does dangerous and awesome things. Then sometimes I get so overwhelmed with anxiety that I wish I could stay indoors forever and never go outside, not even to the front or back yard. Is any of this normal?

      You're similar to a piece of paper.

    You aren't designed to be comfortable all the time. Keep a foot planted in your safe world but take a step to the anxious one outside. That's the only way to expand what you know and what you are.

  • We all have our highs and lows. Those who say they don't are faking it.

    It's like trying to balance what should be chaotic or remain rigid in your life. It's a balancing act for everyone.

    Yes I feel like this often. I go through periods where I dont talk to anyone for weeks because I don't want the headache. I always snap out of it though.

    I think very few people are always even keeled. The ones that are, are nuts in my opinion.
