Find it hard to talk and meet with people

Question

I've always found it hard to make friends the first thing I would do after school is come home and sit on a computer.

To this day I still find it hard to make friends outside of the internet. I know it sounds bad but I think with my Social Anxiety its been harder to hold down a job or get past an interview.

I honestly feel relaxed all the time I just when I am out don't have the effort to talk to people I always want to but find it really hard to do.

Sometimes if I do talk its only really short answers. So here I am today wondering what I can do to get myself out there and to make myself more talkative and outgoing. If someone could give me some tips it would really help.

Answer 1

You could start by smiling and greeting people when you see them, especially people you've met more than once. 

Sometimes all it takes is a, "Hi I'm "insert your name here", what's your name? Nice to meet you "Insert Other Persons name here"."
