Maybe this isn't the best place to ask for advice but here goes ..
I've always been very quiet/reserved. I don't really have a problem with this but I want to be able to say something when I need to. Someone suggested going to Denny's at 3 in the morning and talking to random people. I tried this tonight and didn't end up talking to anyone. It was bad enough trying to order my food from the waiter. I just tend to mumble and say stupid things. I hate it. I want to be able to walk up to a stranger and say hi. Is that too much to ask? Yet it seems like an impossibility. I think I'm pretty good at communicating what I want to say in writing. I just need to learn to say the same things in real life. So, any advice you have would be appreciated. No need to post if you don't have anything useful to say (though I won't mind the free bumps). I'm not making this thread to get attention. I could care less what ATOT thinks of me but I need to change and I know there are some people on here who get by in the real world.
Thanks.
