be friendlier

this goal originally read “be less uptight”, but then i changed it to “be friendlier”, which, to me, seems less uptight and so is a good headstart

I have been real distant and mean lately i dont want to be like that anymore

What’s the meaning of being friendlier? I have to focus on little steps and not on the great general goal.

I think a lot of my behavior that is perceived as “unfriendly” is me being self conscious, anxious and afraid to burden other people. I think I need to come up with some kind of mantra. Or at least accept that most people are honestly way too preoccupied with their own lives to care too much about what someone else is doing/wearing/saying. I need to convince myself that people enjoy and appreciate my company.

It eases my life a bit.

Cheers!

I never want to meet new people. What’s wrong with me?

im not afraid to be honest and open with people
so now they either love me or think im weird.
But at least people are comfortable around me
and i truly am being friendlier. yesssss!

Hey, it’s not as if i’m not a nice person. It’s just that i find it hard to be more out going. I have a great circle of close friends and family, but i feel i need to broaden my social circle. Thats why my next thing will be to make a friend in every country!!

I went on a camping trip and while I was volunteering, it was easy to be friendly. I’m so glad I went. I made a lot of new friends on this trip. Hooray!

Yeah this was my very first “to do”. I’m pretty introverted and I recognize the need to be more social outside of family and spouse. It also sucks eating lunch alone every frigging day!
