become more sociable

It’s not that I’m shy. It’s that I never want to let go of my “me” time to spend time with friends. I feel like I lose a lot of friends because I never stay in contact with them. I hate phone calls and stuff.

Right now, I can honestly say that I have 2 friends, both of whom sometimes I don’t even see once a month.

So this is my plan to gain more friendships and become more sociable.

-Text more. So, I’m gonna try to get more numbers so I can text more people. Probably people from work. There is no one at my job who I am friends with outside of work.

-AIM more. I’m thinking of like becoming more sociable with people who are my online friends. I want to have at least 3 I.M. buddies.

-Go out with people more. I want to accept more invitations and not make as much excuses. Maybe meet up with more old friends who I haven’t seen in a while.

-Look at starting my new school as a great opportunity to meet new friends. I want to be the sociable, friendly girl at school.

When I’m with people I know very well, I’m not shy and more rather the funny guy. But when I’m with people I know but not that good, like people from another school who I see once at two weeks. I’m quiet. Also when I’m in a group I just met I’m very quiet. And I will not know people very fast.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to become more sociable? I seem to be spending all my time alone, or with the same small group of people.

Yesterday I had a 2 hour conversation with my brothers friend! Yay! I mean, I didn’t really have a choice, he was waiting for his mum and my brother had gone to work with my dad, so it was just us. I mean, I could have sat him infront of the television as I revised, but I spoke to him (And got no revision done).

Then I went to Danni’s and spent the night there ^{^.}

Thats the most human contact I’ve had in months.

So, yeah, proud of myself ^

Of course, now I should be revising instead of doing this, but meh.

^^

I suck with people.

This will help me fulfill more of my Things.

Because: Social = more likely to find romance.
Social = (Usually) happier
Social = less home so less eating.

Also it will stop my dad complaining that I don’t get out enough.

Well I still can’t really strike up a conversation. But I’m quite happy to hold one with whoever is willing to start one with me! Uni is a very harrowing experience, being in a new environment with noone I know. But I’ve had conversations with a couple of people and met a couple of cool people…
I just really wish I could strike up the conversation, rather than hope that someone else will start talking to me.

I want to form better relationships with more people who are accepting of me and do not bring any negativity into my life or stress

I think I’m getting better at this. I now have “randoms”; people at school who I talk to but have no idea who on earth they are. I feel like I’m more sociable and more willing to talk to people that aren’t complete and utter strangers.
If I’ve never ever met someone in my life and I’m not with a couple of friends, I’m really still a bit shy. But I’m working on it!

I’ve always been reserved and very shy. There’s so much I want to do and this problem gets in the way. I’m sick of it and am finally ready to do something about it. I’ve already started going out and talking to people a little more. This sounds like it should be simple and normal but I’ve been struggling so hard with it. Tsk…I get so tired afterwards.

For some reason, I just can’t talk to new people. My fiance says I don’t mingle enough, but why would you want to mingle with people who don’t have the same interests as you and gossip?

How do I become more confident and make some more friends apart from the ones I have???
