friends

Hey my name is Joe and I'm a hippie lover/ musician. I hate being the one asking for advice, but I am aware that I don't really have friends. Maybe it's cause my energy or chakras are unbalanced. When I look in the mirror, I see that I'm just like other college kids. Well also I'm homeless at present. Any advice on how to break shyness? Thanks brothers and sisters.

 

um, just get out there and start talking to random people that's what i do

 

I'm homeless too and I have similar problems. Drinking is pretty much how I met the friends I do have, which are few. I got the confidence booster I needed to go out and meet people. Also if you have at least one good friend you could go out with them and meet their friends, that's another way I've met a lot of friends.

 

I used to be painfully shy and now I have more friends than I can count. I made all my friends through one person. Thats all it takes. Just befriend one person that has really cool friends and slowly get to know all of their friends.

As a reformed shy person, making friends is a lot easier than it looks. You just gotta smile and offer up a few words. It doesn't really matter what you say. Most people don't give a damn what you're talking about as long as you're friendly and nice.

 

i've not got a lot of friends, i know a lot of people, but not got a lot of friends.

 

Just be yourself. Most importantly, love yourself. You can only love others after you love yourself dearly.

 

Thanks you guys for the advice. It's really not that hard to meet people. Really I'm a good songwriter/musician. Like to start a commune haha

 

Me too!! What kind of music do you write/play?

 

You said that you're a musician, one word answer for you;

jam


Stephen Stills met Neil Young in a traffic jam, hello Buffalo Springfield. :2thumbsup:

 

Yeah being a musician is a really good way to meet people.

 

we pray that you guys find homes if you want them, talk to us anytime on here or email rainbowlofsoul@gmail.com

we're the same need friends, but its kind of difficult sometimes, with all the mental stuff, sometimes it hard for people to understand our limits, and then sometimes it seems like it may be better to just let everyone move on, but then it sucks to not have pot, since thats kind of our medication (contrary to the therapists here who seem to be slowly getting better about assuming on first mention that its an addiction, even though the real problem is finding a psychiatrist who's not totally corrupt in this part of the country.. ehh, [we're actually literally allergic to anti psychotics its a dangerous mix, herb is the only thing we've found that really helps]), it also puts a drag on the relationships, if its just asking for herb all the time, though herb is important to our wellbeing, it just would be so much better if there could be another steady source and then chilling with friends sometimes, with that out of the way, and if we're not up to social stuff that thats all good too, but the way it is now just kind of sucks,
life is so wierd.

Good luck and blessing to you all!

 

Get a piece of cardboard. Write on it, "I really need a hug" and then stand on a street corner.

I promise by the end of the day you'll have friends and it'll will break you of being shy. It's really that easy.

 

Loving yourself is easier said than done, but you are right there. Until you love yourself you will never love anyone else.
