Meeting new people is a scary task. I grew up having a difficult time making friends and it prevented me from meeting new people. I went to a camping over the weekend and I freaked out at times when I talked to people. I didn't get positive reactions at first and my body freaked out. I was almost in tears at some point because I was not able to connect to the people there. They were my sister boyfriend's childhood friends and other new strangers. I was able to concentrate on what they were talking on Sunday compared to the first full day that I met them. I recovered from my scared of being alone feeling much quicker than before. Here are a few things I learned how to conquer it:
1. Change the way I think. No one cares for me. Period.
2. Always think of ways on how to make a different when you are in a situation similar to it.
3. Learn to be comfortable with yourself.
4. You cannot change people so stop trying.
5. It takes time to build trust.
6. Sometimes it's best to not be your old self if you want to grow.
7. Learn from your mistakes.
