Go to a place with a lot of people and practice initiating conversations. Try talking somewhat loudly. It doesn't matter what you say, just keep volume and energy up. No really, it doesn't matter what you say, how you look.
The fun social style is to just be excited to meet someone new and vibe with them. What happens many times is you start analyzing yourself even if a little bit and therefore you are anxious. We all have partially negative perceptions of people. So they of course have partially negative perceptions of us as well. So what? Of course just recognizing this does nothing for your confidence. Only practicing will increase your confidence.
As far as weed goes. From my research, just make sure your supply is clean of hard drugs and it will probably be safer than alcohol/most tobacco. Also, don't do too much or else you just become unmotivated. Once a week maximum. |
