i'm bad at making friends.

i keep my distance.

i come across as cold but i'm really just shy and think too much before i speak.

blah.

Me too! I've found that if I smile a lot and look like I'm having a lot of fun, I'm more approachable.

make a checklist, little things to do...i know that sounds so dumb


but ok--this week, go out somewhere--shopping, fast food, whatever, and just say hey to someone you don't know, start talking about what you're about to try on/order/whatever...you'd be surprised at how much easier it is to take that leap of faith when it's a stranger and if they judge you or reject you, it's no big deal! they don't even know you....or just start by smiling at people more, you start to be conscious of it and it overcomes your own barriers, while catching people off guard in a good way
