I know this is a random question, but i am so anti-social! People try to talk to me and i want to be friends with them, i just can't bring myself to be myself with me. It's weird! I don't want to hang out with my friends ( i think im getting bored of them) and when i go to work, (which is where i enjoy myself) i can't be open with other and i act like an air head. Any advice would help, lol on what I should do, to better my situation. Thanks
Why can't you be open? Any relationship or friendship needs an open line of communication. Be willing to share your thoughts on something that recently happened, or just random ones too.
Pick up the paper. Learn about what's going on and who is doing what everwhere. If something happens in the news and you think that the action taken in responce to a certain situation was not good, say so, and say why. I know it sounds a little like politics, but you can still talk about other things like sports [watch SportsCenter].
So just try to be more open and willing to say things without fear of rejection or anything like that. Give it a shot and make people laugh. Ask your friends with some help on this too - I'm sure they wouldn't mind at all. Don't take this the wrong way, but something that has helped me was to take things a lot lighter than I used to [I was always serious]. Now when somebody says something, I always come back with a witty comment, you know not taking things so seriously [but knowing when to stop]. So I hope that helped and good luck.

(It could be anything) Try to seem friendly & fun to be around, maybe you'll find newer friends that will make you wanna hang out with them. Hahah, I had a phase where I got so bored of my friends & I didn't want to go out with them, but one night I went out with them & ended up meeting tons of new people. So, you never know what could happen. Even if you don't feel like being social, try & open up. Good luck girl! :] [ heyybaby's advice column | Ask heyybaby A Question ]
