I want to improve my social skills. I thought by way of stepping out of my comfort zone. So here’s what I thought:

Try and make conversation to a random person, location or occasion be damned, at least once per week. With saying more than two sentences be deemed sufficient. If the other person does not initially respond amicably (to the first sentence), I leave them alone.

    Few thoughts about it

    • people tend to be refractory when talked in public space (like park)
    • I suggest finding a board game group, reading group and such
    • or you could go to your local retirement home and ask to do volunteer work to alleviate elder’s loneliness

    In my experience bar work well when they’re shows going on, venue tend to have to much noise to understand one another

      That’s too relaxed for my taste. I really want to go out of my comfort zone. I feel like the social settings I’m already in aren’t stimulating any more.
