Ok, so I am a bad person to give advice. I do try to not worry about being embarassed about approaching people. The current group I work with are a bunch of duds. They all profess to be really interested in
getting together after work
going shopping
having coffeebut they have all, all, ALL not come through. It is shattering to someone who finds it hard to reach out. I decided I am just looking in the wrong place.
Last week, when I broke down and cried in a meditation class, now THAT would have been a great opportunity to get to know people. But I was too embarassed. It comes down to trust for me.
OK - so don't take any of my advice! I'm not church-y, I don't sew or knit or do any socialable acitivities. I read, for goodness sake. How antisocial can you get?? You don't exactly go to the library and start talking to people looking at the stacks!
