Be more sociable

I work with someone who is a social butterfly and I have to agree that it is extremely attractive to a lot of people. We constantly say she is bound to advance in the job because of her terrific personality. The best way for me to describe her is cheery and social.

I’d like to model myself after her inspirations.

I find it easier to be sociable when I have had adequate rest, eatten and I feel clean (neither of which I feel after a long day at work). I try to summon unearthly powers to help me present a cheery outlook when I’m tired from work. Maybe I over compensate on my days-off when I haven’t had my fill of socializing for the week.

My best g/f told me about the first day she and I met. I came up to her desk with my eyes down speaking to her, and she thought I was being disrespectful. Suddenly it struck her: I’m shy. That’s true, I am so shy. I am starting to speak to people more and look at people, but it is often hard to do. For example, when I go out to a club, even though I’m a good dancer, I don’t approach girls I like to try to dance with them, and if I dance with girls I keep them at a great distance. I’d really like help being more sociable.
