It's a lot harder than I anticipated. When I started my first semester of college this year, I made a promise that I would become more outgoing and make new friends to fill the void of the old...it didn't happen. I have such a hard time talking to people I haven't already known for a long time. I couldn't even tell you how I started talking to my friends before, I was shy then too. I'm wondering if it's another one of my many problems, being too antisocial. It's getting progressively worse which is disheartening for me. Their should almost be a forum entitled "How to be likable and talk to people"....
