I do. That's why I moved countries twice and learned a new language. Meeting new people from all over the world changed me completely as a person.
3
Cool, I'm trying to do the same, but were did you go? What languages do you speak?
2
Several countries in South East Asia, then Australia. Come to think of it, I've moved 3 times not just twice, haha. And English is my second language. I learned it as a young adult. Now I am in my late twenties. It's been a long journey! :D
2
English is my second language too. I'm trying tô learn 2 more till the end of this year.
1
Yeah, I guess I do. I am a bit shy and I typically spend a long time feeling comfortable enough to be myself, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy making new acquaintances.
2
Boom you just described me to a T.
also whats your favorite pizza? (yes i read your flair)
2
My favorite pizza needs pepperoni. Pepperoni is the best.
How about you?
1
Plain ol Margherita
1
Ah, a classic.
2
I love meeting new people. Some of the best experiences I've had have come from people I'd just met
2
Same! shame i'm too shy to approach others though (i don't mean literally approaching random ppl in the streets but people in like similar groups and etc)
1
I consider myself a shy person too, but I like meeting new people. I've met some interesting people through my hobbies, and some of them have become close friends. I haven't met anyone new in a while now though.
2
Yeah i feel you there, opposite here went trough a period i didn't mean anyone new,but now i'm meeting quite a few new people
2
That's cool. How did you meet some of them if I may ask?
1
Trough a religious organization for the Youth, people are surprisingly open minded though so i'm happy .
2
What're your hobbies?
1
I blog, play video games (though not as much as I used to), play guitar, watch movies and TV shows, read comics. What about you?
1
Everything you mentioned but blogging and playing guitar. I used to play but once I figured out I couldn't write my own music and could only read tablature I stopped. I've made a bunch of friends gaming though and talking to strangers actually got me invited to one of my favorite gaming studios and E3.
1
Same. I've met some close friends through fighting games and joining tournaments. I wish I could go to E3 someday, or any major comic book conventions in the US.
I used to play but once I figured out I couldn't write my own music and could only read tablature I stopped
I tried making my own music but was never satisfied with them so I just stopped. I kind of accepted that I have no talent for it whatsoever. But I still play when I have the time or feel like it. I enjoy it even if it's just doing covers.
2
Definitely. That's why I come on here for the most part. I'm an introvert, but not at all shy, and no social anxiety, so when I'm ready for people-time, I just go for it.
2
Same on the come here part, even though i always feel like i annoy people here with my blabbering (got social anxiety here)
2
That's the anxiety lying to you.
2
Sometimes yes it's that, but i just can't shake off the feeling ya know?
2
You just need to push through it.
1
Yeah! I'm going on a mini road trip vacation by myself in a couple weeks and I'm putting myself into brewery tours and hiking meetups so that I can meet other people :)
2
That's so fricking wholesome
too pure for this world
2
I'm glad someone else thinks it's cool! Everyone I mention it to just asks "aren't you scared to go alone?" I guess because I'm a girl? I dunno, I'm frickin excited though
2
it's understandable ppl will be worried, they care for ya :)! cause it seems you're a nice person
2
aw thanks :) you are too!
2
Describes me to the T. Love making friends but I have trouble being outgoing
2
It sucks doesn't it :(. i like try my best to start conversations (cause some ppl may be shy too or etc) but i can't keep it going cause anxiety and etc
1
Exactly! I always feel like small talk is so forced and terrible for making new friends
1
i depend on small talk alot tbh, but if it was up to me i'd talk about the most random shit
1
What's on your mind?! I'm always down for a conversation about random shit.
1
Not particularly no. Probably why I have very few friends and no significant other.
2
I love meeting new people and making new friends. It makes me so happy to connect with someone. Except I usually don't talk to someone else first, but approach me and I'll engage easily.
2
You're exactly my the type of person dude/miss
also not fitting flair ?
1
Nah, I just love self-depreciating humor, haha
1
Ah cool, it's nice to be able to laugh at the bad stuff too
1
I love meeting new people, especially those from other cultures. I have some great friends online from other parts of my country (I’m Brazilian) and some around the globe. But, being the way I am, make friends and meet people it’s the best thing to do.
2
Depends on the context.
1
i'l give you two situations
On reddit.
or
Irl when you're like doing a hobby of yours
1
Every time I meet someone on Reddit I'm disappointed. Like one time I mailed my extra copy of LoZ Windwaker to this guy who said he'd never played a Zelda game. The kid then kept messaging me wierd shit on fb and then I found out that he was just a random fucking kid who PM'd me and not even the original person who asked. Fuck that kid.
Anyway yeah meeting people at a party and bonding over a hobby, or joining a group related to my hobby is dope tho.
1
Sorry to hear you had bad experiences,its kinda excepted sometimes with the anonymity.
1
Depends on the mood. But not a lot are considered to be friends though...at first, they would be just acquaintance. Then if we do share a lot of time together, then we can be friends.
1
I've always kept to myself since I was a young age always felt like my socialising and communication skills are weak. Working in a job where you interact with a lot of people on a daily basis has certainly helped and I have been trying better to interact more with people in real life and online, however I feel like I have a long way to go.
1
I do too, which is weird because I am actually very too-myself all the time. It's more that I am interested in people, I think.
Escuse me but what do you mean by very too-myself?
I'm shy, and even more than that, I just like to be by my lonesome really.
Ah, i personally don't like being alone too much cause i end up with bad thoughts and that shit
also agreed w/ your flair
