I was in this spot like 6months ago and it’s like you just have to be open to engage with people or be engaged with. It’s an energy that you don’t meet all the time but when you find people that are on the same wave, it’s the best connection!! it’ll be scary and weird and feel like you’re intruding, but everyone feels that way so be brave and engage 🥹 they’ll be grateful that you did

I was so in my head in college. I always admired the people who were brave enough to come up to me, and start talking. I’ve met some of my life-long friends bc they were those kinds of people. Be that person!!!!

okay this was so scary for me but i loved doing this to meet cute people:
- keep a pen and paper on hand to write yr number. give it to anyone u think is sweet looking. i accosted a few people at my climbing gym >:)
- no headphones at the coffee shop, sit at shared tables say hi!
- say hi to all cute people with dogs (if u like dogs) such good lubrication to give them yr number.
- i love meeting a hottie in the pit >:) some of my fav new people have been at music shows :p plus sometimes they also make music!

whenever i’m waiting in line, or walking next to someone, i love to try start a conversation. just say hi, try to make some small talk and see what happens. sometimes its awkward, but sometimes we really hit it off. its scary at first but ive found im always glad i did it. usually i don’t even get their name - its just nice getting to know someone

on your own timeline, you’re surrounded by people that are all there for the same thing if you need something to small talk about, easier to get tickets sometimes too. really gives me a thrill lol small venue, stadium, anywhere!

Something light something casual, you learn About them in a real way and you always have the internet to fall back on if small talk goes quiet

going to try really hard to not say “I feel that [insert statement or thought or criticism]“.
Because whatever follows is not a feeling, and feelings should be described as feelings! it’s a different language set than statements or fleeting thought.
i Feel [emotion]
AND
I think that [statement/thought]
