Be nicer to people.

I was hanging out last night with some friends and one of these friends brought his girlfriend, whom I have never met. I wasn’t introduced or anything as everyone was saying hello to each other and normally I would have just kind of ignored her, but I took it upon myself to walk up to her and introduce myself and ask her her name. She was really really nice. I feel like the master cleanse is making me a better person all around. :)

I realized today that when asked how I’m doing or how my weekend went, most of the time I answer, but I don’t ask the question back to the person who asked me. And I think that is a part of normal, friendly conversation. I feel so stupid for not being able to hold a normal conversation with people. I’m really going to try harder to ask questions back.

So what I need to do is:
Smile and say hello more
Ask questions like how are you doing, how was your day, etc.

But I have some weird social awkwardness where I just don’t really want to talk to people I don’t know well when I’m out and it comes across, of course, as snobby and bitchy. I need to learn how to just smile more and say hello. That’s my first step – just saying hello with a smile. Even to people that I think I don’t particularly care for.
