Improve my social skills

Made great progress this summer. I’ve made new friends and established promising business connections. My therapist has helped me a lot with this.. He’s a role model for providing trust, support, compassion, respect, and open communication in a relationship. I simply copied the way I interact with him on other people. People are more drawn to me when they see the real, natural me. YAH, it’s a nice feeling!!!

I’ve found an irony in that in order to improve social skills I have to enjoy my own accompany first.

I’m making good progress. I’ve already met one person, inspired by her love of life and dedication to community services. It’s also very encouraging to receive a cheer back from another girl who wants to improve soical skills. I revisited her profile. WOW. It’s almost magic that her profile gave a fresh new look to me. She is adventurous, stylish, bold, and has so many dreams. She seems to be a very interesting person. I see myself in her too. God, please allow us not to be afraid of expressing who we are and step out of the small box we’ve imprisoned ourselves in. Let us shine!

My goal is to feel confident and attractive. Believe in myself and build up a circle of friends I can share interests, have fun, and support each other.

In the past a few years, I haven’t been able to meet new people I can hang out with. I know I’m tight (feeling nervous) and very self-conscious when I am around people. On one hand, I want to be involved in other people’s lives and other people in my life; on ther other hand, I am very comfortable in the lonely shell I’ve created for myself in so many years. I need to walk out of the comfort zone. But I don’t know how!
