You don’t need anyone else’s excitement to be excited about your own plans.

Other people’s enthusiasm is pleasant and not a requirement. A plan can be exactly right for you and land flat with your friends, often because they are picturing themselves doing it rather than you. Waiting for a chorus before you let yourself be pleased hands the whole thing to whoever happened to reply first. Your own interest is enough to act on.

Tell one person about something you are looking forward to and notice how little their reaction has to matter. Then take the next practical step on it this week anyway.
