With regards to improving myself. What I want to work on most are my social skills. I'm not antisocial, but I basically was content with my life and shied away from forming new friendships, talking with strangers, and just generally being a social guy. Now I find myself alone in a new city and it's quite the depressing situation.
I signed up for a class to improve my conversational skills, and am considering other things like taking an improv comedy class. I'm a pretty reserved person, though, so while this has helped with taking my mind off my W, it is also adding to my overall anxiety and stress levels.
It's hard for me to approach a stranger and start a conversation, especially a woman. My plan is to take baby steps so I don't get so overwhelmed as my emotional state is still very up and down from the separation.
