I felt comfortable and at ease with a new friend, she took the time to help me learn and be comfortable doing something new.
that's really nice - it's always amazing to have friends who you feel comfortable around. What was the new thing your friend made you do? 
She had me go rock climbing with her at her gym. It was so scary at first!
Oh wow! I like getting out of my comfort zone and doing new things, it's such a thrill. Especially rock climbing - I had a friend who made me do it once too
That is awesome, and it's so rewarding afterwards! I'm glad you got to experience that as well with a friend.
