How I did it: There are some people who can keep any kind of person interested, my sister is one of those. I would look at her and feel jealous and always wanted to be like her - everyone likes her. She encouraged me and after she left for higher studies, i was the only one left behind and thought how bored i would be if the host of the party was so anti-social. I began by forcing myself not to have any moment of silence between me and my friend and slowly and slowly i got used to it. Now i don't need to force myself it just happens naturally and now i enjoy parties! Read how I did it… 2 years ago
How I did it: It was a long process that just sort of happened. I think it was a lot of small steps, a lot of small situations that added up to me getting fed up with not feeling good in social situations. A big part of it was also that I realized that it is the types of social interactions I have the really affect my mood, so if I surround myself with positive people and in positive situations it helps to get over that fear or stress of hanging out with people.

For someone who’s usually so social, I went thru a period of anti-social-ness. I think it’s ok every so often. I was dealing with the stress of coming off a deployment (coming home was more stressful than the overseas time I think!), uncertainty about the job, etc. etc. I just needed to think a lot and edit the friends list, etc. I’m still not out all the time like I was before…I just think I’m kinda growin up.

I have fallen deeper an deeper into antisocialness. I think I am getting out of it. I’m realizing it and how awkward it makes me feel. It’s hard, though, because when I hang out with people, especially large groups of people I – well, first, I can think of nothing intelligent to contribute, and then I go home and feel empty and shitty about it. It makes me avoid these situations and people in general. I do just fine if it’s just my close friends hanging out (which happens increasingly rarely), or with one or two people. I am starting to feel like the only social interactions I feel comfortable in are really intense or too intimate to want to do all the time. But, I think I’m starting to kind of branch out also. I recently made this friend in one of my classes. In another class I even have a little group of people I always sit with and talk to, but I don’t think these relationships will extend beyond that class. But, the one friend, we have hung out a couple of times outside of class and we talk online. I think this is a good step for me. It makes new people less scary and more worth my time. It also gives me more options when my friends are hanging out with people I don’t like. But, that’s really not the way I should be thinking. But, for now it is. I don’t know. This is a terrible issue to have.. 4 years ago
I went to my friends roommates birthday party the other night and then last night I went to dinner with some of the people from my hall last year. These were both very social things that I would normally not even consider participating in, but for some reason I did. I cannot say that I am particularly glad I did or that they were a really great time, but I did them, and I saw that they weren’t I guess. Which might be worth something.. I’m not sure. 4 years ago

I haven’t hung out with anyone besides family for a few weeks now. Girls hit on me when I go to get coffe or when I’m out with my family and I just ignore them. WTF is wrong with me? I just prefer the company of myself. My phone has over a hundred numbers in it. 5 years ago
Am succeeding slightly in this, though was put off briefly by the whole boyfriend thing which involved spending hour of every day available on our own, together. luckily that’s stopped now and i can continue having a life, like tonight, when me and my favourite girlies went out for quiet (but fun!) drinks to celebrate my 19th. Go jo, you’re getting there. 6 years ago
