Social successes: I recently had someone who is a pretty casual friend offer to help me bring home a Xmas tree.

Also, I read about this strategy for shy people somewhere that said just try to be 30% friendlier to people than you feel like being. I’ve been working on that lately and the results have been positive. The hardest part is doing it when I’m feeling tired or not up to snuff for whatever reason. 6 months ago

This is probably one of the most important goals on my list and one of the hardest for me to achieve given my social anxiety and general life circumstances. I think I need to work on this a bit everyday. Today, I’m going to start by making an effort to check Facebook everyday and comment on stuff and stay on top of people’s lives who I’d like to get to know better. 6 months ago
