I will certainly keep looking. I know I will need to force myself. I am an introvert and it takes me a while to warm up to people. So walking into a room of strangers and introducing myself is currently outside my comfort zone. I know I will need to challenge this mindset in order for me to grow.
That soccer thing I went to? It took me ten minutes to even say "hi" to someone. I said about 40 words in the hour I was there. Was still totally worth it.
