What’s your tips on becoming more sociable or talkative?I always don’t express myself and are quite reservered…I want to be sociable and be more talkative,I am willing to put effort in these.
I pretty much gave up on trying to be sociable. There are times when that still hurts me, but I’ve also learned to like being alone.

Read local papers. Many people read them and it gives you something to talk about when you meet people from the neighbourhood.
Yea,reading is helpful…I know things but had trouble sharing
Yep , the more you have to talk about the better. Try not to isolate and keep abreast of the news , popular culture , etc

I am meeting two girls after my appointment with my psychologist on Monday,will be going for lunch…I find that I get nervous and tired when I don’t find myself talking,it’s weird but that’s me…
I wouldn’t feel worried that you need to be talking to girls , etc , just as long as you get out and about , and have an idea what’s going on in general.

Journalism degree helped me immensely. Had to do 2 public speaking classes, attend a lot of events/party/socialize and talk to a lot of people, gel well with local media/PR efforts/causes. After symptoms started, never seen such crazy & ugly things a stranger would say or do to another human due to stigma/local church pressures. Gave up on the public persona thing as I just cannot control some of these screwed up people who are part-time psychotics; there is no way to represent a company in any okay way with such mentally unstable aggressors setting on me. This is how some in my community handle a person on SSDI after mental care. I still see the friends when their schedule allows. While I miss this kind of outing and the social events I used to attend, things are just too stressful in my community due to discrimination/stigma and it is not healthy to even bother myself with it.
Fact, most always like to talk about themselves. A good listener who remembers the details and asks about it later is always appreciated & retained.

Same here. I think taking some type of class is very helpful. I took classes in college, but there are also community type classes all over the U.S. with many types. Communications classes are good at helping a person to develop social skills for business and the real world.
What works best is showing an interest in what other people are saying. Don’t be too full of yourself. It takes a little practice, but you can learn.

Playing the field?
What’s playing the field?
Maybe I could take up some social skill classes…
Most people are as much insecure about their social appearance as you are.
If you don’t feel confident enough to lead the conversation just ask questions and be a good listener. People in general love the talk about themselves

People who have kids love to talk about their kids and grandkids.
Agreed. You just ask those people about their kids and you’ve killed an hours of conversation. You might evan want to take a nap during their speech.

“Playing the field” is an expression that simply means dating a lot of different women and not just sticking to one.
