I've been asocial person for years, i am not saying that being asocial is bad thing, no, i still enjoy being alone most of the times. But we are humans not you bots, we all need connection sometimes right?. In my daily life, i always found it hard to go and start a chat with someone, or do presentation in front of the whole class, I always sat alone with my headphones plugged in social events, even on my University's orientation day, i went there sat by myself then went home. Today, let me say i faced my fears, my fears of going to talk with a stranger, or talk in front of a lot of people. I was nervous but it felt so good to be able to be able to start a conversation with someone i never met before, i felt confident of myself for the first time ever when i talked in front of more than 30 student. I was able to make new friends, i only knew one for the first two weeks of the university.

I am writing this here because i wanted to share my happiness somewhere, somewhere i love.

What helped me a lot to be honest is a Youtube channel called Yes Theory, they make a good content, mostly with strangers, and what made me trying to be more social is this sentence that i heard from them:

Strangers are friends you haven’t met before.

I don't want to be so much social, but i want to have the ability to make a friends, or to talk with strangers. Most of my friends that i knew, they were the ones who came to me and talked, not me..

Enough writing, thank you for coming, here is a small gift

Also don't forget to check the awesome Community Train, MORE THAN 4000 wagons!

There's nothing wrong with being an introvert, it's not something that ought to be cured or fixed, that's just how we were born.

I didn't say it's wrong, but getting over it or trying to something can a person do if they want.

Congrats! As someone who never talks to strangers or socialize on a normal basis, It's great to hear when others break out of their comort zone and have a great experience because of it!

Thank you Stefanig!
Try to socialize more when you feel you want to of course, sometimes it's much better :D.

I recommend you to take theater classes. It is a lot of fun, you'll meet a lot of people, and will give you social and acting skills

I never thought of a version of myself doing a theater class :O -- To be honest it's a scary idea but i would go for it.
I am not sure if there's a theater classes in my university, and sadly i don't have the time to go somewhere else ;/
But that's a great thing to do, to seek discomfort :D

Try it! It is really fun! Keep an eye open for theater classes. They are near you, I can assure that.

And the art heals the wounds. It's great!

Congratulations on overcoming your fears and finding new friends! I well understand you, it's hard for me too to meet new people and in the first days at university I felt lonely.

I can relate a lot to your situation. I'm an introvert and have been very asocial for years as well, and working on being less so. Congrats on the achievement and facing your fears! That's always a good thing.
I checked out Yes Theory's channel - Ha! Gayyyyy! Just kidding, I love it :D (mostly, except for getting political with Justin Trudeau and some of the ideas of what they call "living life to its fullest"). Very inspirational stuff, though!
I wish you luck in your future, with getting friends, university and everything! You seem to have a good attitude, so as long as you keep trying, I'm sure you can achieve your goals! :)
