I really have no idea how myself. It's the eye contact and the smiles I have most trouble with. My family tells me I talk too much when I really try to socialize. My online friend tells me that even online I tend to ramble a lot, making it hard for anyone else to get a word in edgewise. She says that she likes it as often I'll ramble about random facts... lol But it makes me afraid to interact with strangers. I guess that's where my problem might lie.

That's my goal, too. To meet someone like minded. Maybe another Psych major. Someone who I can study with. Maybe do projects with or share notes with when one of us misses class. I guess I don't really expect a friend. I've never really 'expected' friends. I think, ever since grade school, I have silently accepted that it's hard for me to make friends in that sense of the word.

I think... I'd have to read a book to get some kind of idea. I am a reader. I've always absorbed information through reading. Rather than figuring it out on my own. Because honestly, figuring things out... figuring out cues, figuring out how to tailor my behavior, it sounds a bit overwhelming. I'll try my best to figure it out, though. And I'll look into those books. I may take you up on that PM.
