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.

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.

to hear from a good friend that you’re not as much of a social retard as you thought :-)
I have no way of quantifying this goal but I think it may be nearly time to consider it completed.

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 =)
