We talk to each other on the computer. But in public it's awkward. Lessons I learnt.,

Topic from some facebook group which strongly resonates with me.
So anyway, went ice-skating for the 3rd time of my life to an ice rink with some friends.
From the experience today, coupled with some experience from bishi bashi, i understood a few things about myself.
#1 Theory of FOF
There's this fear of falling that manifests in me having fell a certain number of times. This is the 1st time I realized this because the past few times I've been there, I'm not very sure/ rmb very clearly but I think i had a fear of falling even from the start. But now that uhhh Im older? lol, the fear doesnt manifest so early, somehow there's more of this daredevil spunk.
Yes yes cue laughter, I got exposed to ice skating even before I started rollerblading btw, and after one accident with blades, my father sold it off for a bike. end of story.
So anyway back to FOF, so anw, after a certain number of falls, you'll start to learn to fear the feeling of falling. its similar to a aby who has not been exposed to say, the pain of a needle or fire so the baby starts to poke around only to discover ouch its painful and the body automatically develops an adverse apprehension towards the perceived danger.
Quite true right? I'm starting to sound like linky nowadays.
#2 My learning methods.
Everyone is wired in different ways. I happen to be the kind that needs to practice doing something at least more than once to be sufficiently proficient at it. Unlike some other people who seem to have talent or at least average talent in doing something new, I more often than not do not perform up to par when encountering something new, it's like this with dota (heroes, like after playing once i will suddenly realize whats a better skill setup and items/ order) , and i realized it's like this with bishibashi too.
and oh, I'm colour blind.
