Well, a big issue is that, although i'm quite outspoken. I've developed somewhat of a social anxiety from being unexposed to peers/other people for a reletively long while...
Conciously, i don't really fear rejection- i've always been more the type that just says "well, if you don't like me, or the things i do, that's your problem." Still- i'm uncomfortable meeting new people without having those whom i already know present. I'm even worse in a group, i studder and get shakes. It's quite a new problem for me. In the past i was always a good presenter, i was even voted best actor in my class and had many friends for a long time. -i know social anxiety is a typical problem for many people, it's just strange beause i was never that way, but i seem to have developed the problem over time.
I want to make friends, but i'm uncomfortable talking to people. I don't know what to say to someone whom i don't know other than, "wow, it's a beautiful day outside, isn't it?" etc-
^thanks for the advice thus far though
