How to be more social
It made me
less lonely
 "just go with it"
How I did it: It's basically all about accepting invitations, hanging out with different kinds of people, trying out different things, taking some chances... and just going with the flow.

It made me
Happy
How I did it: Over the summer holidays I usually never do much, and always get quite bored and lonely and regret it. This year I decided to make it the best summer, so I started suggesting things to my friends and inviting them to stuff instead of just waiting for them to organise things like i normally did. This meant I got to go and do stuff i wanted to do stuff i wanted to do and spend time with my friends and have fun :) Read how I did it…

How I did it: I'd say that I only really put my mind to this goal within the last few months, but it's been a process that has taken years. Before I would never hangout with friends. I had the people I would take to in school and then I'd go home and shut myself up in my room. My social anxiety ruled my life.More recently I'm out with friends every weekend. I've met some new people. I can hold my own in a conversation with complete strangers. I'm not t… Read how I did it…

Hello world!!!
How I did it: I've finally been going out a lot more then I usually would. Everytime someone invites me to go somewhere I'm quick to say yes! I also found a way to invite myself without feeling like such a wierdo. It feels really good to be out meeting new people and building closer relationships with people I hardly knew.

How I did it: I shut everyone out for awhile after my ex broke up with me. I didn't want to hang out with any of my friends or family members, I just wanted to be stuck in my room all day and mope about why my life sucked. Then I thought to myself, why am I doing this? this is what he wants me to do. So I got back in with my friends, we go out every weekend now for drinks and fun I shop with my friends and go out on lunch dates. Its fabulous being back… Read how I did it…

I really think I might have this one as done as it gets.
Right now I am in 2 support groups that meet weekly, plus I have plans see my friends at least 3 times a week. Thats about all I can fit into my busy mom schedule =)
The only thing I wish I could change is having a neighbor I am friends with (unfortunately I don’t have common ground with my neighbors – smoke, drink, abuse…) In one or two years I will be able to move, so hopefully my home situation will improve too =)

be more social (21)
1 week ago
I kept in touch with some guys I met at the “pendaison de crémaillère”.
I even went to a little party with these people again. It was really nice :)
I went to the “integration” week-end; to celebrate newbies getting into medschool. I talked with a great guy there and I’m supposed to see him again on Thursday.
On the bus, I talked with two guys who I barely knew but who now recognize me in the hallways ;)
I also had lunch with the externs I’m working with and they seem to like me :) (and I like them too).
And a guy nurse seems to like me (really like me). It’s a good thing but I just wish he did not have these feelings for me. I just don’t want to be the bad girl who’s nice to him (giving him false hope?) but then rejects him.
I also talk with people from my english group and though I don’t speak I’ll ever speak to them outside of school, it’s still a good thing.

I’ve been doing better. My correspondence is improving somewhat. I’m still a bit iffy on getting involved at school at this point, a big thing for college, but it’ll come with time probably. My social life is somewhat existent now.

i wish i could do this but i am so painfully shy. i have no problem talking to random people on the metrolink (bus/train thing in LA), but when it comes to having friends . . . :(
i get so nervous and i feel that other people get nervous because i’m nervous so they don’t want to be with me . . . i’ve joined a few clubs at school so i’m hoping . . . but i don’t want to go their trips (just yet) because i feel i’ll just be by myself

I’m pretty quiet unless I’ve taken a few too many pills :P I only have one real friend and that’s probably because I’ve spent the last 6 months locked in my room.
I have just started at a new school so hopfully I’ll befriend some people there, and attend a few parties, get out more, have more fun _
