For the past few months I have been dragging my introverted self out of the house and doing all kinds of stuff in the world because thatās where the people are. So far I have gotten to the acquaintance stage with a few people and small talk with a lot of people. Even if I donāt become friends with everyone I talk to, itās good socializing practice. Sometimes I make a goal like āstart a conversation with at least 3 peopleā. Tomorrow Iām going to a music video shoot for a band I donāt even like that much just because the opportunity presented itself to me and I can meet people there. I donāt know what the odds are of making a friend, but I know if I spend that time alone, the odds are zero. If I want friends, I have to make it happen.
