Opening up


Recommended Posts

I am an 18 year old dude and have never really been very social, the opposite actually and I always tried to avoid parties or other social events with lots of people. I got a very small group of close friends and that suits me well.

 

Since I haven't really had any contact with girls at all outside school after my ex broke up a year ago I am starting to feel a little depressed. I feel uncomfortable when I have to interact with people I don't really know and have a hard time starting conversations, most of my friends are similar and when we get together we usually don't run around looking for girls

 

What advice would you give to someone who is not the very social type, how would you suggest I opened up with people in general around me, the main problem is obviously mental and I am very annoyed by the fact that my brain apparently has to go through some kind of debate that weighs the potential positive outcomes with potential negative outcomes before asking someone what music they like

 

To summarize it feels like I am lacking the natural gift of simply being able to talk to people I haven't known for five years and would like advice how I with time could open up.
