Seriously though, sometimes getting out of your comfort zone is good for you. Everything in moderation, even moderation.

    Yes, the key here is to not let people push you around with this statement. Sometimes people like to say this when they implicitly mean “I am comfortable with X, therefore you should be comfortable with X.” This is not a genuine attempt to help you!

    However, stepping outside of your comfort zone can also mean trying new things you were initially reluctant to try or hadn’t thought to try. Here you have the opportunity to discover some truly great new hobbies/interests that can enrich your life!

      It is a genuine attempt, just a failed one. A lot of people (NT and ND alike) have difficulty thinking outside of themselves.

      We would all do well to spend a bit more time to really consider what it might be like to be someone else.
