this is probably the best advice. I think 3 out of 4 people are extroverted, so you're in the minority and most people are not going to understand you. Thats okay though, theres nothing wrong with being the quiet person. I think quiet people are very peaceful to be with. I hate hanging out with people that have to talk and make themselves heard all the time. so yeah. Just be yourself and people will like you And if they don't, screw 'em. They probably have bad taste in people. oh i have one more piece of advice to offer. Just truly like people. If you accept people for who they are, they will be more likely to accept you as well.
very true. this is one reason my boyfriend and me get along so well. he lets me be me and i let him be him. simple.
You're cool as heck! Just practice making conversation with people. Smile; make eye contact. It's just about practice.
true. maybe i should have said hide yourself. don't reveal your true nature until they can't back out. then let it rip.
When meeting someone new, its usually easiest to spark simple conversation...small talk always works in these situations.
've been using some of these ideas and things seem to be going okay. i've been helping build a cob bench for a look co-op today. gonna head back over there for dinner and party this evening. i haven't exactly made any friends yet... but it'll happen.
you should smile at them if they are looking at you. that way they might talk to you first and save you the stress of working up to it
I love you girl. It is so awesome to feel comfortable in your own skin, that's all I want out of life. And I dont want therapy either.
:grouphug: i had fun yesterday hanging out with a bunch of new folks. i'm not going to remember anyone's name... think i'll just call people "friend" .. i love that. hello friend more stuff to do today... i am sore.
