Yet, only a handful of people ever shared their goals with me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m too shy to ask even my closest friends and family. What if the  question makes people uncomfortable? What if they think I&#8217;m weird for asking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This challenge pushed me to stop worrying about what others think, and ask the questions I&#8217;m curious about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listen To the Whole Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I documented the experience in a podcast:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/676960803&amp;color=%23e9c46a&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Public&#8217;s Reactions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People with goals were not put off by my question. They jumped in, excited to answer without hesitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teenage group I talked to didn&#8217;t have many goals. They were more uncomfortable around the question. I wonder if they were embarrassed to admit their ambitions in front of their lazy friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What I Learned<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I should skip small talk more often. Go for the big questions! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with answers love to talk. People without answers are only mildly disturbed by the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Join The Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the challenge, see the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/dashiellbarkhuss.com\/30daysofdiscomfort.html\">30DaysOfDiscomfort challenge page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to interact with other participants of the challenge?
