18.5/8.5 at 25NL 6 max help

[Alpha13]

NL has really put me into a shell because I'm afraid to play aggresive when my whole stack is always at risk. I'm playing very tight from EP, i may limp strong speculative hands (suited connectors or small-mid PPs) but I won't raise stuff like KJ (I'll limp if it's suited) Being out of position sucks.

Can anyone relate to this? I don't think I'm the only weak tighie here. I know I need to start doing more because even my not so observant competition can tell how tight I'm playing and don't pay off. Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks
