Hi all, this is my online social journal. For the past 2 or so years I have been slacking on my social life. So now I'm going to hold myself accountable and keep a journal online. Several years ago I had no problem finding new friends, parties, or women - but I was a fool and took a break and now I reverted back to a shy guy who plays video games all day. But NO MORE!! I'm going to start getting out there and improve my social skills.
My goals are relatively simple:
Make new friends
Talk to strangers
Meet beautiful women
Stop the voice inside my head that criticizes me when I'm socializing
Become very well spoken
Become so socially savvy that I don't even need to think about what to do
A little more info on my situation. I have a few friends I talk to regularly, but a lot of friends I've lost contact with. So I plan on strengthening my social network and becoming a better more involved friend. A lot of the reason I let these contacts fall away is because I was scared that I was too pushy, which is silly. Everyone likes a concerned friend! I get REALLY scared when I talk to strangers, especially women. My heart starts pumping, my hands sweat, and I start thinking "am I using the right body language right now? What should I say next?" Sometimes I mumble when I speak, because I really don't talk that often. But I want to become such a great speaker that I love talking, and I'm not afraid to talk because I might mumble sometimes and feel stupid.
It sounds like a lot, but I'm confident I can crack this in 3 months or so. I plan on going out a lot more to socialize. I KNOW I'm going to look stupid. I KNOW I'm going to look like a complete social retard once or twice. But hey man, you gotta put in the work if you want to become great at something. Basically, I want to get this **** HANDLED.
