Hey isittoolate,

I will keep that in mind , fake it till you make it, I need to smile more and that goes hand in hand with that advise.

I agree experiencing new situations does naturally open me up more. I find that I just have nothing to say. My mind goes blank, I tend to listen really well but forget to think of what I can contribute to the conversation. Its a skill I need to work on.

At soccer this week I made an effort to talk more, last week after the game I just snuck out with out a word. I know you get what you give. So I need to give or talk more with the people on the team. I have played sport in the past and I managed to fit in by performing really well at the sport. This is a new sport for me and my skill level can only take me so far socially. Also its co-ed and the first time I have played on a team like that. It just seem that I will have to make more of an effort to connect individually with the team mates.

I have looked into a couple of mens groups also. This is something I will think about in the new year. I have time for it so I just have to see how it goes.
