More "How I Did It" stories
How I did it: I was simply more honest with myself and with other people, and became more open with other people. Then it was a quick transition from being more open with people to wanting to meet new people. Now I find it annoying to be blocked out like I used to block out people. Read how I did it…
How I did it: look around your neighborhood and people who you see often, and list the people you would like to become friends with.talk more with them. i can't really say much more than that. oh, and participate in more activities so that you can get to know more people. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I thought I needed to make friends. What I didn't realize is that I had already made friends -- amazing, wonderful friends who were right there. What I really need to do, I think, is learn to get out of my own head once in awhile. Read how I did it…
TamTaro is saying YES
How I did it: Actually it started with just 1 new friend. I sat next to him on a crowded bus and since we were coming back from Uni Orientation shared in some small talk. It was easy as we found something we both had in common 1/went to uni 2/was on a crowded bus and 3/doing the same course (coincidence!).From there I just met more people, talked to whoever and hung out with friends instead of rushing to go home all the time.2 months later and I have a… Read how I did it…

Peeglet is looking for a job
I’ve been trying to talk to people I meet in the break room at the Workforce center. A few of them smile and wave when they see me now. I’m pretty sure that counts as some kind of progress.
Kerstin is working it out, girl!
I’m doing a little better. I joined meetup.com a while back and met up with a group of mommies. We do playdates and all that, but we also do mom’s night out, and that’s let me get to know some of the women a little better. I haven’t really solidified and friendships yet, but there are soem good possibilities!
Peeglet is looking for a job
I’ve always been really shy, and even though over the past few years I’ve come out of my shell quite a bit, I still don’t have that many friends. I would really, really like to have more people, to support me, to have fun with me, to lean on me, to do whatever together. It’s something I haven’t really had my whole life, and I’d like to.
Jadelee is sick of seeing the rain. WHY??!!
This is going really well. Its the summer now so we are not seeing eachother everyday. Yet I am getting closer to some friends that I never expected to be come friends. I am renewing old broken relationships, I am so glad people are able to forgive me for being a bitch or neurotic or clingy or whatever I was
I used to have a negative attitude towards basically everyone. If I meet new people I would pick out what I don’t like about them instead of focusing on how friendly they are to me. And then I would hate the world for not understanding me. I am working on a better attitude :-)
I’ve reconnected with an old friend who i thought didn’t want anything to do with me and we’re back in the swing of things. Also built a stronger bond with a new friend over some common interests. I’ve got people to do things with and i’m happy … marking done!
Renewalsh had her camera stolen
at the conference(s). Will keep in touch with some of them.
I went to dinner/drinks with a colleague from work today. It was nice.. Hung out, got to know her better.. Not that I have any romantic interests in her, but it was nice just to talk to somebody new, somebody with a different perspective to life..
