my therapist, god bless her, got out the alternative weekly paper and looked up some groups. Her big idea was for me to do the breast cancer walk, where you walk for 3 days and have to train and stuff. Sounds like a lot of work just to get some mingling.. but I'll look into it.
She also pointed out I could have made more effort at the church I was going to. There was a social period, but somehow it didn't work too well for me. I just didn't have any conversation openers. I guess 'how did you like the service' would be fine, huh?
I have a new goal anyway.. seek out mingling opportunities, wherever they may be.. and mingle! Mingle!
That's why I liked the BurningMan festival so much. It was like a city of 20,000 people and everyone mingled all day long. Then I come home to the usual, where nobody makes eye contact or says hello, except the rare occasion. Why the heck can't public society be a little more open and friendly?
