  Arrived just now at Zubiri exhausted after a most grueling day. I’ll post more later if I’m up for it

  My name is Héctor. (I’ve been called many things) 😃 I’m a 64 y/o retired Hispanic gentleman about to embark in something I never thought I could do. But I’m here, in SJPDP, on my last night before starting my Camino early in the morning. I don’t...

  Hi all! To give you another update, I walked the 5km today and after some reflection decided that at this point in time the 100km I've walked so far is enough for me. It's the farthest Ive ever walked before and a massive achievement and I have...

  Robo, this is a thoughtful thread you have started here, let me add a half penny to it. First off, I will plead guilty to not being as welcoming to solo, shy pilgrims as perhaps I could have been. In my own defense, the Albergue bar is such a...

  So sorry you feel like this but know that you are not alone, many (including me when injured) have also gone through similar - doesn't lessen what you feel, but it is not "just you" and you are NOT a failure. You are probably in or near...

  Hi Walkerooni, I completely understand your perspective on how sharing a unique, lived experience might feel like it could diminish its magic. Every experience on the Camino is shaped by so many factors—the hospitaleros, the fellow pilgrims, the...

  vinceman reacted to DoughnutANZ's post in the thread Social anxiety on the camimo with Like.
  
  I don't want to divert this thread but I do want to address an issue raised by @good_old_shoes . The things that I want to address are not a "truth". The most effective way for me to discuss this issue is to relate it to my own experience. That...

  I’ve also struggled with social anxiety for the last five years or so, really ever since I gained a lot of weight. I was really self-conscious at first and reticent to meet anyone. My Camino goal was to force myself out of my comfort zone...

  Your post is really compelling to me. I walked the Portuguese Camino and Spiritual Variant from Tui last May/June. I also have some social anxiety and wondered how that would be on the Camino. I remember sitting on the edge of my bed in a hostel...

  True. But it is still a massively different situation to what many people experience in normal every day life at home. It's a certain kind of people who go on that kind of pilgrimage, and the pilgrimage situation makes many people more open than...
