> Where do I go?
a club is my preference, because that way if you are embarassed about what you are saying, no one else can hear (even yourself haha) because of loud music.... also it's dark so that also helps with the feeling of anonymity.... and you don't feel as anxious, because you see other people talking to strangers, and it seems like a natural thing to do... .also people are in high spirits, so they are more likely to enjoy talking with you
i dunno man i NEVER thought i could do it until i actually had a friend take me out and then boom! you just do it, and you go from socially isolated to leading a fulfilling social life ... totally changed my life
oh one thing that really surprised me is talking to people was really terrifying at first, but! what i didn't know is very quickly (after talking to 2 or 3 groups of people) i got used to it and my major fear (BAD social anxiety) turned into EXCITEMENT .... so you have to have some courage, and in my case, some benzos too :)
man i wish i was in the area so we could get together and help each other, you seem like a good guy sebastian
