be more extroverted

I’ve been trying to be more social. it’s hard to juggle this with work and school, but i think it’s important. i just don’t know how to find a balance between making friends, working, school, and being in a relationship. I’m not doing too bad. I’ve been seeing people at least every week and doing something social in a group a few times a month. Then why do I feel like I should be doing more? Yesterday I was spontaneous which made me feel good. I usually say no to spontaneous hanging out but I said yes this time even if it was just for an hour. it’s some progress!

Ok…so if you were to ask Traci, should would say I’m more of an introvert than an extrovert. If I’m around people I don’t know…I’m an introvert. I just sit back an observe…because I think I can be too much of a smart-ass at times and I don’t want to make an ass of myself. Then Dale comes into my life and when we’re together, I don’t seem to have an ounce of introvert in me. I have never felt more myself than when I’m with him.

I’m tired of being shy!

I have tried to go out lately, but actually it’s been a bit of a challenge. I don’t have a lot of friends yet since i just moved, and I havén’t really had a good time out yet. I hate feeling like a drag. I went home early the other night because I was just so bored, but that made me feel like my introverted self again. I did have a good time last weekend, at least.I guess I just have to give it time, to meet people I like.

Even though I have managed to challenge myself and meet new people, I feel like I have turned to my more introverted tendencies this summer. I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to go out and party, so I hope it won’t be too hard when I go back to school. I just have to take it slowly.

Well I have managed to meet new people this summer. I’m happy with myself that I made the effort to meet new people. It’s not like me to be active in meeting new people. I hope to make more friends when I move again next month.

seemingly, all depends on how I feel about myself. Do I judge myself to be up to date, so be able to compete, then I am etroverted, but o I catch a day on which I am jst feeling like in the wrong place, like being the most dumb in the aren, or the other person are just no the way I can feel at ease and be mymeslf, I turn to be silent, eben shy and about to disappear though being threr.

I hear the talking heads but to me they are saying nothing.

Well, I’ve moved again, but only for a couple of weeks so I’m not really feeling like making new friends. The opportunity just isn’t there, but I am already starting to make contacts to make new friends for my next move. It’s always hard to meet new people, but if I want to be more extroverted I have to “put myself out there.” I have to do this at my pace, which is key so I don’t freak out and go back to being an introverted hermit crab. I hope to meet a few new people this summer. That’s my goal.

I tend to be quiet even when around close friends and family. I think it has been hurting my relationships lately, and need to make a conscious effort to talk more with those I love. I also want to improve my skills at talking to acquaintances and strangers. I am a funny, intelligent individual who has a lot to offer, now I just need to get it into words when I am face to face!
