be social

I was able to pry myself out of my room and join in a group conversation that was going on in my suite’s living room. Baby steps….

Just made a call to a good acquaintance to see if he knew of anything going on around campus… not much going on actually, but It’s a start!

i wanna talk to everybody comfortably

it is hard for me to talk to ppl who dont talk to me first
the only freinds i have are social friends who took the time to talk to me. i just would love to be able to talk to everyone and be comfortable at public events other than concerts.
the only reason im confortable at copncerts is becuase im surrounded by strangers and theres no expectations of a conversation being started.

im sick and tired of being such a shy and scared person…i know i appear boring but im one of the coolest person in our grade and my friends really enjoy my company…so im sure others will too…i have got to come out of the box and know more people.

I’m a manager at an inbound call center, and today I received a few new representatives on my team. I made it a point to make small talk with each of them….I kinda feel like the only reason why I did this is because I’m paid to make these people successful…but for what’s its worth I went out of my way to talk to strangers.

I’ve noticed its a lot easier to be myself when I’m conversing with one individual vs. a group. I tend to become anxious when I’m with a group of people…I don’t know how to join the conversation, I feel like when I do start to talk nobodies interested…and then I get so nervous I end up making excuse to escape. I envy people that are “social butterflies”. I wish I could be social and be a part of a social circle like that tv show friends.

i have about five friends, and we are only friends because they introduced themselves to me. i don’t want to keep waiting for friends, i want to make them! but it so hard for me, i’m very shy and akward when it comes to strangers. not to mention, i don’t get along well with other kids my age. i have no problem talking to adults, but teenagers, damn, it’s pretty tough for me. i wish i could meet more old people in young bodies.

I was doing good for a little while. My boyfriend and friends were dragging me out to clubs and stuff all the time… I don’t know what happened. I guess I burned out on the late-night stuff. For the last few weeks I’ve just been sitting at home by my self. I need to find some daytime social activities, I think.

So I went bowling today with a friend and of bunch of her friends for her birthday. I knew everyone there, but I’m not really friends with any of them except for the birthday girl. It should have been fun, but it wasn’t. I felt out of place and ignored the entire night. It’s partially my fault and I realize that, but still, I went to be out of my “comfort zone” and I had a miserable time. I guess that’ll teach me to not try to be social again.
