I think I need to take a class or something it would be easier for me to talk to ppl not in a bar setting

Definitely take it slow! I think it helps having a friend who pushes you to talk to others. But like the other person said, the only way it'll ever get easier is by talking to more people and learning how to return the vibe and emotion that they give you!

How much was the wristband btw? I say go for it! I'm the same way, where if I'm with a friend or agreeing to meet someone at a bar beforehand, I'm super talkative, but the idea of approaching others just scares me to death sometimes. The more I drink, the more I open up tho

key is just get yourself out there, but yeah, if you figure out something you like doing you are more likely to have stuff in common with the people you meet.

But you do need to get out there, no one will come to you. And it's hard out of college

Yeah why was it so easy making friends at 20? Lol perhaps because more drinking was done at 20 🤣 I’m going to a paint and sip next weekend , I think it’ll be more my speed :) wish me luck hahaha

you can do it!

It'll suck, of course, but eventually you'll get past it. Where as if you don't try it'll keep sucking. Cheery thought eh?
