Change

When I was younger I was a shy guy and I wasn’t very social. I had friends, but they were mostly people I went to elementary school and junior high with. I made a lot of friends playing baseball growing up as well. When I got to high school it was pretty much the same friends. I never really tried to meet new people. It wasn’t because I thought I have friends already so why do I need more. I just didn’t really know how to meet new people. It sounds funny because a simple “Hi” is all it takes. When I would go to parties in high school I would be stuck talking to one of my friends the whole night. I’m not taking anything away from my friend, but at most parties you’re suppose to social or it’s at least good to social. The only time I would ever meet new people is if they came up to me and started a conversation. I was pretty shy, but my people skills weren’t that great. Having the same friends isn’t bad, but we lose friends all the time because of school, jobs, or we just grow apart from each other. So when all your old friends are gone, you’re going to have to meet new people.

            Today I try not to put myself in a shell around people. I try to meet new people everyday because I think its good to talk to people or just get to know someone. I’m not as shy as before, but sometimes my shyness comes out of me. I think having great people skills will help you in life. Life is way too short to know the same people your whole life. I’m not saying let everyone in your life because there is always a chance you might me some creeper. But get out and meet someone new today.
