How I did it: My friend invited me to go meet her friend and a bunch of people who already reserved a campsite. So we went to the supermarket on the way packed the cooler with tons of drinks and bought tons of camping food and were good to go! Well kinda lol .. preparation was like 2 hrs and loved every min. of it! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I found one of the best ways to be a good conversationalist is to ask a lot of questions, get to know the person and then it just flows from there. Also find common interest etc. Read how I did it…

As i was so quick to check this off, i stopped to think. This was a life long issue for me b/c of my upbringing. I don’t know if i’m cured forever from it, but i did find AL-ANON which gave me the tools to MANAGE atleast this debilitating defect that plagued me for so long.
