The Wikipedia encyclopedia says a comfort zone is:
a term used to denote a type of mental conditioning
resulting in artificially created mental boundaries,
within which an individual derives a sense of security.

Yikes. Setting up a fence to keep out anything that disturbs me? Is that what the encyclo is saying?
- Like going to a special writing meeting, and keeping quiet because, well, the speaker is what? Younger? A better speaker? Well known? Unknown to me?
- Like cringing when a professional pianist strides into the church sanctuary, and it's my allotment to play that day?
- Like doing what I think of as a special "gift" to someone, and they either ignore my gesture or show how little they like it by action, look, or voice.
How do you overcome these feelings of in-superiority?
Pray. Submit yourself and your talents to God. He has blessed you with the abilities that suit your personality. Give them to God and allow God to use you and them as He will. None of us travel the same life journey. We must use what we have and learn to rejoice in his gifts to us. Only then will the feelings of inadequacy lessen.
