wow, reading through this post brought back such memories(not such good ones) I also used to be so insecure and I used to eat myself up over it. Why couldn’t I just have fun and feel free like everyone else? I felt like I couldn’t breath! Then I told myself hey, why am I different than anybody else out there? everyone makes mistakes and its accepted! no one will laugh at you or make fun of you for setting the table the wrong way. and ya know what? I bet you have things that you know how to do better than the girl who knows how to set the table. don’t focus so m uch on what you might have made a mistake on- focus on your accomplishments! give yourself a pat on the back!there are things that you know how to do and roles that only you can complete. all of our neshamot are connected. without you, klal yisrael wouldn’t be complete! we’re depending on you! here’s an idea- make sure to always greet everyone with a smile-watch how much of a difference you make when the other person smiles back!to be human is to err!
