But I am. It takes several meetings before I’m comfortable with anybody. This makes it a bit tough for me to do things by myself. This summer I’m going to work on this. The strategy I’ve been thinking up involves going to bars and other social outings alone and trying to strike up conversations with other people.
I’m not doing this to “find the love of my life.” That’s already taken care of. I don’t particularly want to make more friends, either. I have a good batch of people who I regularly communicate with and whose company I enjoy. I am doing this to make myself a more social animal: a person who is open to listening and learning about other people. I want to get rid of the artificial walls I put up when I am in public.
