I don’t want to be called “fat” and other terrible names to my face by a “so-called neighbour”. Therefore, I am going to set a goal of losing 20 lbs. Being slim and trim builds confidence and self-esteem. This will avoid me from being judged for my obesity.

I want to be able to go to a new place without feeling stupid or anxious bc I don’t know everything there is to know and I fear being uncomfortable.
hi Nicole, i’m a very well traveled, older knowledgeable introvert who absorbs facts, information, data, politics, sport etc. guess what? it doesn’t make me more interesting. my wife, who shuns all of the above, is always the centre of attention and everyone loves her. she talks openly, says and asks what i consider daft things to say, but this makes her much more likeable than muster clever clogs here. so don’t think that gaining knowledge is the secret to becoming more sociable and outward going. maybe being an open book and asking people about things you don’t know about is a better strategy
I want to learn how to speak more eloquently instead of rambling/stumbling over my words because of anxiety.
I want to have a few close relationships that I’m comfortable to share personal stuff with and not be afraid of awkward silences
Taking to girls face to face for more than 5 minute.

I wish to communicate and connect with people better than before.
I want to be able to establish real connections with people I talk to and not get stuck in small talk. I’ll take the first small step with my friends; I’ll try to have deeper conversations with them.
I want to be more interested in others and learn more about them and what they’re interested in without all the pointless small talk!
I want to become more emotionally expressive and less monotone, and to stop worrying about going against what I only think people’s “preconceived ideas” are about me to do so
I want to be someone interesting to talk to and know when it’s the right time to speak and what to say and gain my confidence back
Watch the signs people give and learn when it’s polite to speak or just nod to acknowledge someone
I want to be someone who is comfortable talking about my thoughts and feelings without so much self-censoring.
Be able to approach people with confidence and excitement
Be someone who people wants to talk to and meet over again
Ask more questions that are more personal.
Be comfortable going to parties sober!
I will open up more about myself and keep eye contact, even though I find it a little weird
I will also try to be talk to people I meet and open myself up and also try to engage as much as possible I support that to open up although it will makes me worried to strangers I will try
