Even if it's not received well. I spent most of my life feeling awkward around other people (and still sometimes do) but I love chatting it up with a stranger. Giving a compliment, cracking a joke. An internet acquaintance is in Boston? Let's go get a drink! Making friends this way proves something to a younger, more shy version of myself. Smiled and said hello to Bimh who works at the post office earlier because last week we had a nice conversation.

It's cliche I know, but it really can make someone's day. If you do this enough, you could make an unlikely friend, and those can be the best kind. Specifically, because the friendship would be based purely on a chosen connection and not circumstance.

I’ve met some of my best friends by just saying hi at a party or complementing their outfit. Lately I’ve stopped meeting new people when I’m out and I really want to change this. I’m making it a goal to say hi to 1 new person every time I’m out.

i love sharing jokes with strangers. most jokes people have known since they were kids - heard one they shouldn’t have from dad or maybe a good knock knock at school. jokes are a silly way to get to know someone. learn some jokes - here’s one: what’s the difference between a greyhound bus station and a lobster with big boobs? one’s a crusty bus station and the other is a busty crustacean
