even to people you think would never give you the time of day. you never know what’ll happen. Some people, even bigger acts, will get back to you. worst they can say is no or ignore you.
approach people at shows or message them
This applies to a lot of things in life. You’ll never know/get certain things unless you ask. so just talk to people…it’s fun!

this might not all apply to you, but sometimes if I overthink social interactions in general, I end up missing out on what could have been a really good conversation. I usually like to ask myself what I’m genuinely curious about/want to know about a specific person and let my questions lead into a more fruitful discussion. worst case scenario is that don’t take the bait and then the conversation ends, but most of the time I find people like talking about themselves, which can lead to something y’all have in common.
I also don’t put pressure on myself to “make a friend” after one interaction. some people require crumbs of interactions before they start to let you in!

Simple as that. If you want to know someone better or have someone to go to something with, then ask. It seems like no one wants to get off their ass and reach out to people these days

I’ve booked so many gigs by doing this, people enjoy being directly asked things!

Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is.
Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something
