So that I can be content with myself! I want to make others happy and be their friend, but I have troubles opening up and talking to people in person. I'd just like the chance to be something for others, to at least try.
Stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself that you're beautiful, interesting, funny etc. every day and you'll start believing it. Confidence is entirely mental. I got better at it when I finally figured out that no ones opinion of me matters except my own. Trust yourself and stop fearing judgement. Be more honest, say "yes" to more things, talk to more strangers, you'll get there.
Practice being poker faced, it hides a lot of shyness. Well, at least it works for me and when I first meet people... I'm VERY shy. So to make an introduction (the best one I can), I nod my head with a small smile and mouth 'hello'. Then try to compose yourself away from everyone, grab onto a friend, talk together, and then invite someone you don't know the conversation. That works for me every time! And usually, if you're really nice and funny, you'll already have a new friend! Hope this helps! Wishing you the times when you move! :)
it is relatively easy to make friends if you think about it, there are many ways to do so. you can try getting a 120 decibel train horn alarm clock in your car that goes off at 7am every day, or you can throw eggs at your neighbors houses in case they ran out and need more, same goes to tp. if they are bored blast your favorite band design the skyline at max volume, boredom no more! another idea is that you can show them your first son's childbirth video, as everyone loves the miracle of life!
If you haven't tried drugs, try drugs. If you have, go kill someone, and you'll be so focused on the guilt and trying to hide the evidence that you'll forget all about moving.
