Hello People...
I'm just going to say, I need for some help on social advice. Alot of times, i get into a recusive state, sometimes I don't feel like moving (either fear, or shyness or both). Having some coffee right now, get me out of the dumps, yet I just ask for really just "social skills".
I've layed back, and alot of times I don't know what to say. Is there any way, to "boost" talking, dex Spanusles helped with social aspect's, yet how can person just isolate thereself? It's two things that i'm trying to explain, it's shyness (because, i seriously do not know what to say in small talk).

Some therapists do work with this. I remember once reading about whole social skills groups, which I thought was a wonderful idea though unfortunately there are none in my area.
One thing I've found helps me is to scan the group for someone who looks as uncomfortable as I feel, then go up and say hello. I always feel way more comfortable than trying to engage with people who look very comfortable talking to each other.
I'm really bad at social rhythm, and find large social gatherings to be a bewildering and overwhelming experience. But groups that are purpose driven, like clubs organized around a hobby or charitable purpose, give a built in topic of conversation.
