be more social

I made the decision to stay home with my daughter last year which has pushed me to reflect on who I am and what I’m all about. I’ve recently discovered that I put up walls and don’t let others in easily. If I can be more social, life will only get better (right?). Becoming a mother has been a blessing in my life and given me a new sense of being. I hope to evolve from the person I was into something my daughter can be proud of!

I’m at a cyber book club reunion… And even when it is ‘cyber’ I feel really unconfortable… I think I suffer from social anxiety disorder.

I often find myself fighting with myself about this one. Part of me thinks “Hey, some of your favorite authors and artists were reclusive and kept to themselves” and sometimes I feel like, hey its not so bad to enjoy your alone time. Then the other part of me realizes its a simple excuse for not being able to open up to different kinds of people and it just seems like I’m just lying to myself or I’m in denial thinking that this is healthy or fine. I get hurt very easy because I am emotional and that makes me afraid to get close to other people. I think its time for me to really try to change this and become more sociable.

Met two guys from my high school + spent the evening with some of their friends too

... which is worth to accomplish! Gaining more social contacts could end in endless possibilities. Having more friends, getting connections and so much more. This could be a perfect alternative to all those fancy online networking sites.

I tried to be more social about 2 years ago, but that just lead to the loss of both of my good friends and made everybody I tried to socialize with hate being around me.
The reason I’m trying again is my only friend left is my brother and he is in another state right now.
Any tips would be helpful.

I was actually doing really good with this, and then…well…gotta start hanging out with friends now! :P

I’ve been doing the social thing for a while now. But I think I hide be hide my friends to much. I need to learn to talk to people without a friend nearby or do things by myself for a change.
