New York City Trip

[EricJones]

So im off to New York City to take a Ferry ride from Staten Island to Manhattan. I'm nervous to death....that I'll overhear someones conversation,and people will notice. I'm nervous that I'll pay attention to people's body language to much or that they'll pay attention to mine. I'm worried I'll get stares I don't want because I'm weird. Positive thoughts and comments appreciated.

Nobody will notice...it's New York City lol it's the land of mind your business. Some of my best comedy bits are conversations being overheard. Sometimes I suspect people want their conversations overheard because they are talking so damn loud 📢 😂

Let me know if you see CD/DVD man is still on ferry. It's easy to spot him cause that's what he sells CD/DVDS 😂

I miss the Staten Island ferry. Good times.

Anyways enjoy the water and the view of Manhattan.

yes people do that for several reasons that’s one, another being they own where ever they are like it’s theirs especially public transportation. some people are all by themselves and talking loud just to be heard about nothing.

Thats awful and i know those feelings, more than i want to admit, and the more i think the worse it becomes. But i hope everything went well in the end.

I'm here now....nothing terrible is happening....I can't stop overhearing other people's convos. Or ignoring their body language

Oh my gosh Eric, I am so so proud of you. A little surprised but so happy. This is

a great experience for you. Try focusing on the scenery all around you and not

not what people may or may not be thinking. Enjoy every moment.

You'll have a lot to tell us when you get back. xx

[Agora1 in reply to EricJones]

Did everything go well?

Are you glad you went??

[EricJones in reply to Agora1]

For the most part...I was still hyper vigilant with the strangers around..but I went on the Ferry, went to the 911 memorial and went to the 911 museum...(Awfully difficult) People touching you and standing in front and back of you lol.

Eric I am so proud of you, truly my friend. The hardest thing we can do is get out of

our comfort zone. You not only tried but accomplished a big step. I was so touched

when hearing that you went to the 911 memorial and museum.

That was a "win" Eric, bigger than you may realize.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. xx
