Did you know that just by writing a goal down, you become 42% more likely to reach that goal?
Challenge: Write down one small step you could take in your next social interaction. It should be something that feels exciting, not terrifying.
Check the comments below for inspiration. If someone writes something you like, let them know in the comments that they have your support.
I will talk to random people I see at the bus stop or in the school hallway.
I will seat and walk comfortably without worrying about people judging me
I just made the same decision and found that it works. Definitely an act of the will! I’m a fan!
I’ll stop hiding behind my phone in social gatherings and try to strike a conversation with whoever sitting next to me.
Razzle dazzle them with my scintillating personality
Freedom of having free friends to speak with.
i will go out with my friends today
I will text an acquaintance and ask to get together.
Yesss girl
I will share a story about myself in a group of friends.
I want to try to start casual conversations with my coworkers instead of averting my eyes and walking past.
I want to be more confident and to be able to make long eye contact when i’m speaking to someone
I want to maintain a conversation for at least a few minutes with this girl I feel atracted to
I want to be able to maintain eye contact when having a conversation with anyone I come across. I know I can do it.
I am going to smile at strangers, ask the cashiers how they are doing, compliment a stranger and be less afraid to share something about myself. Also … just want to say … I’m super thankful to you David and this community <3
i need to not be so busy trying to mask my discomfort that i just breezily and superficially handle situations where i am uncomfortable. because i know if i can come off as confident and normal enough but i am also too stressed out by people to figure out who i really click with for friendship. i want to feel good enough to even be able to see the differences in people and end up with people i can be comfortable around
Reading your words made me realise that I feel and behave very similar to what you describe. Now I can see, it’s like I throw up a smoke screen and then make my escape. So interactions I just something I have to endure the best I can until I can escape them … time to change that with new awareness 🙂
I need to stop ending the conversation prematurely, I know I have the ability to keep it going.
One goal I can have is to get past small talk and form real bonds
One small step I can do to expand my comfort zone is to compliment people that I sit around at school.
What if you just generally don’t like people and feel they are rude and ignorant. IM NOT A JERK …IT SEEMS LIKE MANY PEOPLE At my work place are.
I will give them warm smile and then say hi to Atleast one person
Say Hi to 5 people. Per outing.
I’m going to start trying to take an initiative and just say hi to a new person and be myself
I would start to talk to the half known persons whome I usually ignore or panic by their presence.
Don’t procrastinate and don’t waste my time doing nothing. Learn language EVERY day and don’t stop, especially in quarantine, because I have the most free time now. Don’t care much about other people’s opinion about me. Don’t feel less worthy than others, just because they have more followers on ig, more friends in school or better social life than me, basically, stop comparing to others. Nobody has a perfect life. And of course, be even more confident than now, don’t be afraid to say my opinion loudly, don’t be afraid to join groups and never forget to OFC method.
I will start more conversations with my coworkers and not stick to my phone.
Try to be more confident and be more social with people
I will assume that people like me and act accordingly. I will illuminate my curious self when it comes to talking to new people.
I applied “think of it as a small step towards something exciting”.
It resulted in meeting a couple of new people, exchange of phone numbers and discussing about when to meet again.
People show an interest in people who are interested in them. I will be more aware to take a genuine interest in people as well as believe those people already like me.
I will make a deliberate effort to behave like people people like me,then I will not be as nervous meeting new people
Just have fun, be quirky, if I don’t have fun then I will most likely be bad a convo because my mind is jumping around on thought to thought.
