be more friendly

I’m usually a pretty friendly, outgoing person, but I’ve been a little down lately, so I’ve been surly and dismissive. I want to get my friendlyness back! I’ve been blocking people out lately, I don’t want to go into a downwards slide where I don’t answer the phone and don’t go to school for weeks at a time, as I tend to do when I’m depressed. I can be more friendly by smiling, looking people in the eye, talking to them… My problem is I never know what to talk about, but I can still smile/nod. I’m planning on getting a job soon, so I’ll be able to meet some new people there. I’d really like to meet some new people to make some new friends, maybe a boyfriend?

This still needs work as I have not called any friends in weeks and I will confide in you why this is. Every time I get a call from a friend they are pressuring me to go somewhere or do something. They say “why were you not at THIS thing or THAT thing?” Or they say “I know I can count on you to be HERE or THERE” but I have not felt like going out at all and I am pretty busy with my own family and my own things. About going out, if I feel like going i will go. I don’t want to be locked in. But I find it hard to be impolite and i don’t know a good way to communicate that to people because “I will go if i want and not go if i want so don’t count on me” is pretty rude. So i don’t even answer the phone or return the messages. Which is the rudest of all I guess. So basicly I am saying this goal needs work.

It seems easier to be outgoing at work because Im a waitress I have to actually talk to people. this has actually been good for me because it has forced me to do something that is uncomfortable for me. luckily I only work on the weekends. I used to hate my job because of the people interaction but now i love/like it. if you are nice to people they are usually nice to you. :) who knew??

i hope i can be more friendly but dunno when i shall start..
evrytime i try i still can’t do this..

I’m shy and usually feel too like everyone thinks I’m really ugly and boring and they just don’t want to know me. Sometimes I can force myself to go and chat to people and make an effort as I have done more recently and it’s not that bad!
However saying that, a lot of people tend to think that I’m really stuck-up (what?) and posh (I wish) so apparently I intimidate people. Already I’m really shy, and then on top of that I have had many people tell me that when they first met me they thought I was so conceited and pretentious. It so isn’t good – I mean I can perhaps change my attitude but not my face.
Anyway, I’m starting a new uni in September and want to make sure that I’m as friendly as possible. I’m not that bad once you actually get to know me – at least I think I’m not.

someimes i just don’t feel like ACTING friendly.
