damn dude good thread, the past five years have been a big fuckin exercise in this for me. ive found whats worked for me is just talkin to everybody. strangers (be careful) , make existing friendships tighter, people at places you shop at, just trying to build little connections. go to parties/clubs/bars whatever. nothing really comes quick and for people like me you gotta piss off some people and learn the hard way, but it will come with age no doubt
Propz to ALL Ya'll!!!The thing that I don't get is if you can't force 'it' than how are you supposed to break out that shell?Some people never get over it, just accept it is part of their personalityBecuz for me I gotta force myself, ya know?That is good, don't allow it to control you.And I can't help it. It's like I don't want to be this way but I just can't fuckin' help it. There's nuthin' I can do.Having a few drinks (don't get into alcoholism), or medication even; can help if it is that bad.Its kinda like what MTL's Most was sayin'. I am comfortable around the people that I'm always around but when I'm out of that environment it's like fuckin' crickets.Maybe you are scared of the unpredictable, you already know how your friends will act, and what they will say. What they expect of you.The funny thing is, is that I was never ever this way before now its just all the sudden.Often, there is a moment that will see it off, a breakdown, or a transition in your life...How can a person even lose social skill ya know?You can develop mental illness which could impair your social skill, not being around people lots isolates you from being social, thus you forget your skills.I don't know man, ya'll posting some good shit though!
