Hinge (not the best idea) but don’t take it too serious and don’t be hard on yourself about it

Become extroverted. Emphasis on the “ed”. It’s not about changing yourself it’s about stepping out of your comfort zone to meet people and talk to people. You don’t gotta become and extrovert just become a little more extrovertED so you can get to know people and people can get to know you.

Yeah I get that, I just be overthinking and I also have social anxiety. But I completely agree.

Well to get better at social anxiety is to just step into it. It’ll get easier every time.

What do you think are some good ways to meet people? Like I don’t really party and when I do go to org meetings and stuff it’s more like a hi and catch up for a second type of thing.

Yeah I understand. For example I took a job “teaching” people as a student instructor to get paid, but also because it was something outside my comfort zone and I’d get to interact with others. I also be trying but I always feel like I’m not capable of carving out a deeper connection other than surface level.

It will happen naturally. Just gotta ask the right questions, or be vulnerable first, or idk it’ll happen.

No clue honestly. I’m sure there will be a lot of stuff to do when welcome week happens. But the most simple but not easy way is to go up to people.
