Making a Decision - Why is this so difficult for me?

I have came upon an opportunity to join a softball team. It's been years since I've done anything like this myself, usually it's my children on teams.

The thing is is I'm feeling uncomfortable, but I maybe also being stretched.
There are singles on the team, some of them recovering addicts/alcoholics.
I know one of the males lives in the same apt building AH lives in.
And, I'm having a problem judging someone on the teams character, not outwardly to her face but inwardly, this is making it harder for me to make the decision.

This is what concerns me about me, I am letting someone elses character defects control what decision I make about joining this team?
I don't want to lose a fun opportunity, but I don't want to feel uncomfortable either.

HELP!

Discomfort can serve me in two ways. Sometimes discomfort is a signal to me that something/someone is not healthy for me. That's a positive thing.

Sometimes my discomfort comes from resistance to change, the old is familiar, and I don't want to experience the new. That can keep me stuck in old behaviors/attitudes.

Just some food for thought.

We all have character defects.

This is just a softball team, right?

Can you stop analyzing and just go out and play ball?
