 How can you know what kind of people you want to meet?
I am an introvert type, (25 male FYI) I am pretty happy on my own, but find I am awkward and clumsy in crowds, and I want to change that. Also, I think it wouldn't be bad to have company now and then, having a girlfriend seems healthy, but this is really something I am ambivalent about.
So if I am going to meet people, what kind of people do I want to be my friends? I think this might be part of the problem with my ambivalence...I don't know what I want.
After reading a few things on Steve's blog I decided to go out to a bar, be confident and start a conversation! Yesterday I did it! I have never done it before and it felt really good. I felt more at ease, and will feel more at ease the next bar I go to.
Another thing I noticed was that sitting at the bar I could look around and get a feel for what kind of people I would like to talk to, and which ones I would rather avoid. My theory is that the more you are around people, and the more people you know, the better you will be able to choose what kind of friends you want.
Anyone have other thoughts on this question?
