genuinely, what’s helped me is just doing it. i dont have any friends and struggle to make them but even just having convos w random ppl, cashiers, folks at the bus stop, someone im behind in line etc. is so good. to giggle/smile w strangers is so good for the soul. sometimes ppl dont wanna talk, and thats fine. i dont take it personally. i just look for another opportunity!

its to the point where im a regular everywhere. the dog park by my trader joes, the library, i have some homeless friends i chop it up with, some girls i wave to at the gym. it can be small steps but seeking out little connections where u can is a big help. my trick is always to ask their name even if yk you’ll never see them again, introduce myself and shake their hand. it always goes well. but i also live in the south and most ppl are friendly here so results may vary😅
